But it is not a basic channel to many as it has some excellent series on there and thus quite a few customers in my humble opinion would be willing to pay a little extra and it would be good to have that choice in my opinion.

the channel so good that 90% of sky customers don't watch it :LOL:
End of day bud it's people choice you like your sports and I like best of us tv shows,I would rather pay a couple of quid extra to get sky Atlantic than pay extra £7 for channels I already get and personally sky sports 1+2 Are the only ones I watch and as for f1 (don't even know the channel number lol)

I think it's a lot to do with losing champions league rights to bt there hoping more people will subscribe to sports they could do with extra income for next bidding rights because bt will come in hard

Even before sky launched Atlantic sky always had more subscribers than VM? I think it's sky's paranoia tbh.

People on this forum never seem to grasp that the two businesses have completely different priorities , Sky's core business is television were VM's is its fast broadband network.

Sky's core television business has totally reached saturation point so they have much more to gain if they agree carriage terms with other providers in my book.

Probably already been asked, but with the soon to be here SkySports 3 & 4 in HD and SkySports5 HD, is there likely to be any extra cost to me? (If any, presumably levied by Sky and NOT VM)?

I'm already on XL pack, 120mb BB and already take the Sky Sports 1&2 in HD.

Cheers
