This recent influx of new channels on VM seems to have got Sky a little concerned.

The thing with a big bully is it will always picks on something smaller or who is afraid of them but when someone takes them on they don't like it and as Jones says they don't like it up'em.

Just noticed this in Virgin Mediaa Facebook (don't know if link works) but virgin have replied with...

We've not been able to come to an agreement with Sky on this one yet! You can always get the latest on upcoming channel news here http://virg.in/custnews on our Customer News website. Stephanie

That's in response to being asked about Sky Atlantic.

Oh, yeah, the Customer News website! They don't seem to have even reported the new ITV2/3/4HD channels on there yet! Some news source!

I get hundreds of surveys off Sky on a number of topics , viewing , shows , technology , competitors , screenings etc you'd never guess which competing platform I've had most questions about.

They will cave in eventually, when they've sucked all of the benefits from withholding it. The Sky basics came back after a dispute with Virgin, and Sky Atlantic will launch eventually, when Sky have found something else to promote their platform.

In the meantime, we'll just have to find other ways of viewing the few programmes on Sky Atlantic that are worth watching. I'm already doing this now - tired of waiting.

Perhaps they need to employ the skills of the wonderful Media Boy.

A few on BT and their sports channel but I've had the most about Youview which is obviously available on BT and Talk Talk or sub free.

I just had the booklet through the post, its rather sad that they are having to resort to tactics like that to gain custom
