You can apparently get Sky Go on the Virgin Media L TV Pack according to that.

Just shows Sky are as bad at keeping their website accurate as Virgin Media.

None of it proves anything. Sky will advertise as exclusive until the day it is not. You can't try and read through the PR machines.

Of course SKY will advertise it as exclusive until the day it is not. They'd be silly not to.

It proves Nialli was wrong when posting:

""Fact: Sky are no longer marketing Sky Atlantic as "Exclusive to Sky customers"

Another example of SKY still using the "exclusive" tag.

They don't have a 'stake' in it. They own and run it.

l don't hate Sky but apart from SA and a couple of HD sports variants everything else is pretty average and as for the broadband well my experiences of it were that it was worse then dial up.

The attached from the Guardian makes interesting reading.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...nnel-itv4-dave

Sky ARE apparently considering launching a new 'Sky Bravo' channel and have, apparently, been in talks with Virgin Media about carrying it, but without agreement.

Looks like more is going on than meets the eye.

LOL, I like the analogy. Hate is far too strong a word for me to use though, I guess I was simply underwhelmed over the 10 years or so I used Sky. For much of that time in my life T.V. was important to me and VM's offering was so much poorer at the time. I did go through a stage of not wanting to pay the Murdouchs, but realized I would have to stop buying many, many films I liked. That said, I thought Sky+ was the best thing since sliced bread when it first came out:-)

In terms of VM, love is also too strong. I like the fact VM won't seemingly pay OTT for SA and want a good deal for BT Sports. Their customer service and engineers have been top notch whenever I have had a problem. However their communication (for new channels in particular) and channel acquisition is shockingly bad and could be improved very quickly in my eyes.

Even if I was allowed a dish on my flat, I would choose to stay with VM because it suits my needs at this current time. If there comes a time when I need to join Sky again, then I will, but I can't imagine I will be very impressed with their overall service.

Am I the only one who couldn't care less about whether SA comes to VM or not? :confused:
