One in that list that I do think would be a good addition is Horse & Country TV. Not because I'm interested in that subject myself, but because it is serving a niche that other channels aren't.

AMC isn't coming anytime soon. That's a BT exclusive.

I'd like Horse & Country too. It disappeared from my Freesat box, so I assumed it had closed down.

Not sure I share your desire to want or see that channel....

Here is a sky question they say in a review

" There's plenty of space to store all your "I'll watch that later" shows too. Internal storage is up to 2TB, five times more space than the old Sky+ boxes. Or, in other terms, enough space for hundreds of films and more TV shows than you could possibly ever have time to watch."

But my mum has a 2tb sky box don't make sense

Poor journalism it happens all the time.

Sky+HD standard and Sky+HD 2TB

Sky Q 1TB or Sky Q Silver 2TB

The enthusiasm among the group is incredible. I thought I was the only one who had high hopes for VM's future.

They should say 5 times storage of old sky + but the same storage as your favourite sky 2tb box

Thanks to some culling of trees behind my house, I now have Freesat too. You should be able to add H&C manually as I have (11568V, 22000 SR 5/6 FEC).

I mean, it's been 5 years. I imagine anyone who desperately wanted it has either left for Sky or uses Now TV in addition to a Virgin subscription.

It's not just about attracting new customers it's also about retaining the ones they have especially in a really competitive market.

Oh I'm not saying Virgin shouldn't be actively pursuing it; I'm just speaking from a consumer perspective.

Yes, Virgin should be seeking a solution. But having given away their content, they have nothing to bargain with.

Hopefully, that will start to change soon.
