That reference was sadly, what is known in the trade, as BS.

No one, I repeat NO ONE can provide a link to the alleged Broadcast Now article which was supposed to be around August / Sept / October. The previous article which didn't say a lot but not the later one. This was free search and also a subs search.

So... do you have it?

Indeed I did. And a I trust you've understood all of mine too, you must agree that we have nothing to differentiate between us.

SA is wanted by all of us. Discussion of rumours of it's arrival on VM in the coming soon thread is quite normal. However, at the moment there are no such rumours.

People who claim something to be true without being willing to provide any provenance are unhelpful to anyone.

So I'm glad we're agreed. :)

And to think I had an off topic post deleted on the first page after the mods apparently decided they didn't want this thread to go the way of the others!

Sorry Sir but really you need to understand the banter and friendship between the many members of this forum as that is part and parcel of many threads on here and if you don't like that then that's your problem to solve.:)

But people will want to use this thread to talk about SA whether there are rumours of it appearing or not. That has been an integral part of this thread for a long time now, so a precedent of this kind of thing has been set. I don't have a problem with that and actually like it. You do seem to have a problem unless someone has some information on it being added, with 'provenance' to back up the claim. Therefore, I fail to see how you think we agree.

BTW, are you going to demand 'provenance' for all rumoured channel and functionality additions to VM posted on this thread?

Perhaps this pseudo intellectual clap trap is in entertaining to some, but not me.

So, back on topic, does anyone have any rumours they'd care to share?

The only Broadcast article was the one I linked to dated 27 June 2013. (Broadcast Now is the web address not the publication title). I think the trouble was ambiguous dating wording in a forum post which led some to believe there was another article. There wasn't. I'm pretty sure it was more a cock-up as oppose to conspiracy!

It's no big secret what's in Broadcast's archives. This search shows all articles containing Sky Atlantic and Virgin Media, most recent first. And, yes, it's the 27 June article at the top.

The Broadcast article from 27 June was also linked to and reported in the British Blacklist.

I think he's just angry about something, it's only a forum and some people just seem argumentative.

Well the price rises are forthcoming in a couple of weeks and usually Virgin have something up their sleeves to appease customers unhappy at the rises.

Aww. Over the last two days you've failed to understand my stance despite it being repeated and reinforced over and over again. For instance, despite me telling you otherwise, you keep stating that I don't think SA should be discussed here. Which I do. We really are very close to agreement but for your own reasons, you seem to want to find another reason to argue.

No I'm not going to demand provenance for all rumours posted here, the support I've received indicates there are plenty of others who want to do that.
