SKy's off season coverage of the NFL is abysmal.

Can't disagree with either statement lol. As I say ITV4 HD for the football would be nice, but otherwise not much interest at all.

I would not necessarily expect to see "Channel 1" on screen though. While Sky ponder what to do with VM's tv channels, Sky have had to change the name on the licence as they can't use the Virgin brand.

Wonder how long they have been given to rebrand the channel?

Seems a shame to see it go after all Richard Branson has wanted a TV channel back since the original Channel 5 licenses went up for auction! He finally gets one and it only lasts a few years!

He never really had anything to do with the channel nor his company.

Virgin 1 was only made beacuse Virgin Media did'nt have The Sky Basics Channels at That Time Virgin 1 came in september 2007 and Sky basics did'nt comeback to virgin media until 13th noevember 2008.

I thought they would have changed it to something like Sky4.
Channel 1 seems a bit odd.

Im Back...

I think Sky will do this:

Sky2 will become Sky1 +1
Virgin1 will become Sky2
Virgin1 +1 will become Sky2 +1.
