On Sky it seems quite a lot of the Sky Comedy series are available On Demand Curb your Enthusiasm certainly is.

That new channel is temporary.

The EPG data on DigitalBitRate says

Quote:

HUM Masala RB pop-up chan
...so it's a Red Button channel and a Pop-Up channel, the latter implying its temporary.

I assume nothing is coming soon since no one is talking.....

Isnt it weird we got Sky comedy and Sky Crime but havent got atlantic still (even though we now can watch half of the stuff on comedy now) and apparently arent getting the future channels sky are launching.

Just seems a bit childish from sky

VM: "Hey so can we have atlantic since game of thrones is over and youve given us curbs, ballers, last week tonight etc on sky comedy?"
Sky: "NO"
VM: "But it makes no sense now?"
Sky: "You wouldnt pay the millions we wanted originally....so no"
VM: "But surely more people with access to the channel will get your ad revenue up"
Sky" NO!!" *stamps foot and runs away with hands on ears*

Oh it must be SKYS fault because golden VM can do no wrong eh?
Maybe it's VM who's being childish?

In his imagination, the only channel that won't be on vm from SKY is Atlantic for now, but SKY are open to talks it's vm playing childish games.
But ofcourse it's all Skys fault, just like it's all BTs fault that AMC never arrived on vm, also was all Viacoms fault and UKTVs fault etc, never VMs fault according to some on here.

keeping Game of thrones on a exclusivity on a channel that consistantly been pirated didn't make sense.. it only made it more popular because it was the most pirated program of all time, if they just put the channel on all platforms maybe sky would have got more revenue for that program they got greedy oh well its their loss!

Nah lid i learnt it from the sky press release:

https://www.skymedia.co.uk/news/sky-...nd-sky-nature/

Has no mention of Virgin Media or anything else but does mention Now Tv. One would at this point assume its not coming to virgin media unless we hear differently. At this point its no.

Still doesn't mean SKY is with holding them, they are just announced channels so maybe VM and SKY haven't discussed it yet.
