Sky Living has had wide appeal for ages, all they're doing is admitting that this is the case and re branding in line with what they actually are, as opposed to what the perception of them is. The pink logo set against, say, Hannibal or Dracula, is about as jarring as the Joop Homme adverts you get before really gritty drama on Fox.

I'll get him signed up to SKY for 50% off to make sure he doesn't miss out. SKY fan boys are of all persuasions :tu:

But you are forgetting one thing Chad and that is he works for one of the Umbrella of Virgin companies thus l cannot see him deserting them anytime soon.

Agreed. I think Antonia Hurford-Jones has lost the plot if she really needed to be told this:

happy bank holiday weekend all...

aye i'll quite happily take sky atlantic and fox news and be quite happy with the above list. Sky atlantic as it seems to be the only big thing missing and fox news for the sheer "lolz" of that channel.

Den- do you mean pay Netflix for free or purely the app? I have a playstation set up on my tv so I could get it through there so it wouldn't be a huge must for me unless it was properly built into TiVo like on demand etc is?

The US Tivo, that the VM Tivo is based on already has a Netflix app so it should be easy to add one to the VM Tivo.

Apparently from what l have heard they are in talks but alas so far nothing has been agreed.

I think we should get the plus 1 throw in if we have the main station

ex. Horror channel we get but not plus 1 version

Why would virgin add Netflix unless they was thinking of reducing their own on demand content? Plus US Netflix has all the latest releases, sometimes before they hit the cinemas here, a uk company would never be allowed to host the US version.
