Agreed but there would probably be little in the "coming soon" thread if we did that! But I still do agree with you on this point.

Well without you Andrew other threads would die a death.;):D

Sky Scoures has told MB HQ that Apparently, Sky will release new information early this week. We think it will be about the Sky Sports rebrand.

Correct. Was this the DNP you received and told us about without any indication of what it related to?

"Virgin Media will continue to offer all of the Sky Sports channels in one combined package", posted by Virgin Media's Community Lead James, suggests Virgin customers have no alternative but to pay for everything, regardless of what they want.

I think vm are full of crap tbh it's the same old excuse with them "we wanted to do this but the big bad sky dog said no." no doubt vm will go crying to ofcom soon.
If vm want content it's high time they started to bid for it, it might put a rocket up sky and bts backside too if they did.

When I saw that the "internal" channels were testing, they only had codes for existing Sky Sports packs. Because of the nature of the additions, I didn't consider the channels names (obviously), the EPG slots or the Sky Sports pack codes to be final. I'm not sure if anything has changed since then. We now know the actual names and EPG slots, maybe there will be new pack codes added at some point...

think it just means can get all in one combined Packard not that you have have to take all them

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 
When VM say in 'one combined package' how can they. When sky will have separate channels, which you WILL have to pay for.

The biggest problem is that VM customers are paying more and more for channels, yet when channels come along. The answer is no 'we will give our customers the best of entertainment possible.

If that's the case then why isn't SA on the network.
