My point was that I watch other channels, but atlantic has the ones I want the most.

But immaterial..Virgin fan boys will only ever want Virgin..sky fans want sky.

I want the provider who gives me want I want, at the price I want..Sky at the moment ticks that box (as i have had virgin broadband, and it isn't worth the money). But up to each to choose

Can't see why tv can not be run like gas company's they all get from same source and customers choose who provides them,fairer and everybody would be a winner.this channel or series exclusive to 1 provider is very unfair and is constantly abused

Fair enough, my point was if SA is so good why are there only 3/4 shows you recommend, when many other channels offer a similar amount of shows and are readily available on most providers? (not just VM:rolleyes:)

How was I being a "fan boy?" I was simply pointing out I am glad VM are not putting my prices up for this channel alone. Am happy to pay extra for all the recent arrivals that others may watch more than me, but if I had to pay £1, £2 or £3 extra just for Atlantic, I would not be happy. I did also say I agree that people should be to pay a subscription for Atlantic, if they want it, something VM have failed to offer it's customers. So I refer you back to my original question - How was I being a "fan boy?":confused::confused:

I sense from a few of your posts you are trying to be a bit of a wind up merchant.

You are correct abut the provider though. VM offer the better option for me.

Yes indeed and one wonders when MB will give us some more good news as to when some of these HD channels will arrive.

Here's a question for you all and i may be really stupid asking it:

Why are people with sky television coming onto a website entitled "cableform" and making bitter and nonsencial posts about sky tv being better? I've come onto this thread to see what's coming new and just see nasty and childish attacks by people with sky television???

Do we really have nothing better to do but go on the "rivals" forum and post how my tv is better than yours? It's really childish. I don't go onto digitalspy forums as it's open to such attacks but this is THE CABLE FORUM forum and i know people are free to do whatever they want on the internet but really, really do sky customers not have anything better to do in their lives than post long attacks to VM customers? It's laughable it really is.

In terms of coming soon i see nothing of note due to laughable sky tv customers rant....

Maybe sky tv customers you could go on the sky forum or if you want to stay on this forum as you're bored or made friends on here perhaps we can talk about CABLE TV rather than this back and forth bore.

i have cable tv. i will not change to sky. i do not want sky. whatever you say and shout at me as you frantically bash on your keyboard will not make me change.

Do we have any idea on those Sky basic HD channels or no further info?

I've just seen on the VM Facebook many posts regarding Premier Sports, now surely this rings alarm bells in 'content acquisitions' head saying "we are more likely to get Premier Sports over Sky Atlantic so lets stop playing hardball with them and understand the wants of our customers"

Some of the posters on here would do a better job of running the 'content acquisitions' department *facepalm*
