Sky offered it to vm vm wouldn't pay the asking price fair play to them but end of the day it was offered to vm, so constantly saying "Sky don't want anyone o have it" is wrong. It should be "Sky are willing to let others have SA but at stupid prices" :p:
Anyway anyone really wanting SA can get it via nowtv for as little as £3.49p/m with a little bit of work ;)

why sky asked for stupid price because they know no one will pay it and they don't want anyone to have it

But the option was still there though, so Sky were not stopping anyone else from having it.
Anyway on a plus side you're not missing much anyway.

Andy townsend yes.michael owen.no. At least townsend is not the usual liverpool/man utd cronies.
Why do tv companies not trial their new commentators to the public and gauge their reaction.That would have told bt that owens voice was grating on air.Bring back ron atkinson i say;)

That way we posted "We are trying to get them 100% confirmed." for.

Media Boy HQ has just seen info on 17 changes set to happen on Tuesday from our Virgin Sources.

Media Boy Blog is doing live updates tonight on confirm EPG Changes that is set to happen tomorrow.

See link for the list at time of posting http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...nnel.html#more

.... It will be surprising if they swap the HD versions of the Sky Sports channels around. 511 onwards is much easier to use than keying in 501. In fact I'm surprised that VM and Sky never started their channels with no "11" to begin with and removed the first 10 places from the EPGs, ie:

111 - BBC1
211 -
311 etc

Yep, last time they moved them into the 200s section, renumbered them and then moved them back. Here's a couple of pics, look at Watch HD:

Thinking an long shot maybe all Factual channels may move so that Virgin can copy Sky and merge Lifestyle and Entertainment:

I think so too. They need more room for the entertainment channels.
