I'd like to see proof of that please Den. In triplicate if you would. Signed by Virgins Managing Director...

Friendship or 'Clique'?...

There is no proof but Virgin track record from the last few years is that they usually launch a few new channels before or just after the price rises.

To be fair, Den, Dave was in relatively optimistic mode at that time and he was hoping as were the rest of us that BT Sport would arrive. I think he was a bit dubious about it appearing in the XL pack though, but I wouldn't hold that against him!

It was the Bloke who took the stance that it would never happen (see post 1205 on 24 July 2013 (timed at 1719)). Deja vu?

Ahh, you can do some research when it suits you then? No matter how irrelevant. How pathetic.

It's no big secret what's in Broadcast's archives. This search shows all articles containing Sky Atlantic and Virgin Media, most recent first. And, yes, it's the 27 June article at the top.

The Broadcast article from 27 June was also linked to and reported in the British Blacklist.

Yes Andrew - I appreciate your efforts - thank you.

That is the article that we can all find but MB and OB (?) purported to report an updated article confirming more Sky / Virgin talks - an update to the previous one. That article is MIA!

There wasn't a second Broadcast article, spanky, that was a genuine mistake. The wording in MB's post was misinterpreted.

Spot on! Cock-up not conspiracy

Therefore, people are going to want to talk about that.

For people who have been members of this forum for a long number of years, this has traditionally been the thread where such things are discussed, and I personally don't see any reason why that should change.

Skip the posts if the ones containing Atlantic discussion bores you.

It does not lead to discussion though, does it? It just descends into farce. We all know a number of people want SA (I am not fussed myself) but what serious discussion can we have about?

I can only think of one direction a discussion would go and it would be something like this:-

Poster #1 - "Anyone know if SA is gonna launch on VM"

Various posters reply - "Nope, not heard a thing"

Dave would of course chime in with - "It's never coming" ( - sorry Dave) and that would be the end of discussion in my eyes.

The only other avenue for discussion regarding SA would be its content, which many people will now know is now available on other legitimate websites, some less legitimate websites or via the DNS foreign Netflix hook-up thingy.

I have no problem with SA being mentioned, and any possible rumoured launch dates (I like the speculation) as long people don't waste pages arguing over it. These last few pages have not been a discussion about SA though.

No one needs to define or be concerned about the form any discussion will take. Those who are interested in the post can read it and respond if they are interested in it and those who aren't can just skip past the post.

A couple of people telling other people what 'they' thought was appropriate to post is what caused this discussion. They should just concern themselves with their own posts and skip ones that don't interest them.
