There is plenty of rubbish on the streaming services as well OB unless you think otherwise?.
One eyed and slanted? So you have no argument to support your view, then?

You may choose to disbelieve what is going on out there, Den, but much of my prediction in this respect is in line with the industry view.

I didn't say there was no rubbish on Netflix. I said there was a better balance, with a lot of good quality original shows.

Well, yet again you are failing to recall that my prediction is for 20 years' time.

Ooops silly me i might get accused of trolling again now for daring to call vm out for the liars they are.

On a more positive note we have had information that both BBC and ITV will be broadcasting the world cup in UHD, we shall see.
I am sure that VM would have taken Sky Atlantic like a shot if it was offered on reasonable terms. I seem to recall, Sky wanted VM to pay for a big proportion of their setting up and production costs, which is not how this normally works.

The fact that we are likely to get the channel in SD only is surely evidence that Sky are seeking to maintain an advantage. Why on Earth would VM want to take a prestige channel like Sky Atlantic in SD only? I have little doubt that this is Sky and their nasty little tricks.
