There is some good stuff on there, but it is over-hyped.

I pretty much agree , but let's be fair Sky advertise everything to death , just look at Sky Sports and movies.

On here it is way overhyped. It is no different to Sky 1 and if it joined VM it would probably go in to M+.

Love how you keep quoting a daytime documentary and two other lesser shows , no mention of Boardwalk Empire , The Borgias , Entourage , Carnivale , Treme , Mildred Pierce , Six Feet under , Blue Bloods etc ;)

You can get some of them on DVD/Blu ray.

Virgin Media need to get Sky Atlantic at reasonable price.

I think Virgin Media will get Sky Atlantic sometime next year and after feburary because that is how long Sky envisaged the channel being exclusive to them for.

I may be wrong.

So far the results seem to justify Virgin not getting the channel on their platform. With this type of feedback, plus SKY Atlantics less than impressive viewing figures, Virgin won't be in any rush to sign a deal with SKY.

If you had to rank the following 10 general entertainment channels, in terms of your personal preference, where would SKY Atlantic feature in that 10?

BBC 1
BBC 2
BBC 4
ITV
ITV2
Channel 4
Channel 5
SKY 1
SKY Living
SKY Atlantic

Here's mine:

1. BBC 1
2. Channel 4
3. BBC 4
4. BBC 2
5. ITV
6. SKY 1
7. Channel 5
8. SKY Atlantic
9. ITV 2
10. SKY Living

It's amazing how many Sky Atlantic threads there have been on here seeing as people clearly don't want it :D

Ah, it's just the amusement of debating the issue, probably.

Hey Chad, why isn't BBC3 on that list when BBC4 is? I like BBC3 because it plays American Dad!, which is IMO easily the best Seth MacFarlane show.
