Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

[QUOTE=muppetman11;35166512]I agree but I have nothing further to add. It is clear that as a fully paying customer I have no right to raise genuine concerns in the eyes of some VM staff as it is just moaning so I won't ever do so again.

But as I always do I'll still praise them when it's deserved but shut up otherwise.

[QUOTE=mersey70;35166513]Well it wont stop me raising genuine concerns I can assure you , Virgin do a lot of things well and this whole Sky Atlantic affair is a joke , I wish they would just forget it and concentrate on capturing other HD content after all theres lots of it out there.

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

A bit of a non story really..it would have been obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence that Sky would play this particular card.

If they had decided to offer the channel out to other providers THEN it would have been news.;)

As we are talking about Sky Atlantic thought I'd mention that Boardwalk Empire is being repeated on Sky 3 from Feb 13th at 9pm

[QUOTE=mersey70;35166513].
The staff on here are very helpful and I am very grateful to them ,but I will always raise my concerns about the way there employer does or does'nt do things and you should not be put off.

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Ah now that's interesting... this could well be the shape of things to come as it will be a way of letting VM viewers watch the shows and get the advertising revs up a bit. It also would cancel out any cries of unfairness.

I realise that it's only 1 show but more delayed shows may appear...maybe...

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Don't see why you shouldn't raise genuine concerns (and I don't work for VM).

But there does seem to be a lot of repetitive complaining, but nothing done about it - if I was so unhappy with my service (as some people seem to be), I would have moved provider.

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Although just been told it may be one off to tempt people into Sky Atlantic (sorry)

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

[QUOTE=Hugh;35166570]I agree with you mate , in general Im happy with my VM products I just wish VM would concentrate more on HD channels from other broadcasters rather than sky all the time.

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Worth re-quoting this.

Vote with your wallets if you're not happy. :clap:

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

I've got to say I think Virgin themselves have been naive here. When they sold VMTV they should have asked for 10 years carriage of all their basics, but present and future. As it stands Sky could close down all their channels, launch a load of replacements and Virgin wouldn't be automatically entitled to the replacements.

This isn't a million miles from how it actually is given that some of Atlantic's content is from Channel One!

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

I've said it before: VM is looking at a future in which linear TV is of little significance. They seem to believe that they can secure non-linear rights to a lot of the stuff people want to watch, quickly enough to neutralize the fact that the linear broadcast is exclusive somewhere else.

VM is focusing on making a robust, high-capacity network that will allow subscribers to get whatever content they want, whenever they want it.

Whether this is the right approach, and whether VM is doing it well enough, is another topic entirely...

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

It will never happen mate people want to watch the latest now not wait until its 2 years old , just look at fans of shows like Desperate Housewives , CSI , Greys Antomy etc many avid fans go and download the latest shows from the US even before there on here hence why Sky try and show them as close to US date now. Tell me a show Virgin has in TV choice which is up to date.

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Well what a surprise....Sky buy all the Virgin channels, shut a few down, and create a new one and then try to charge extra for it!

Surely Virgin can have the new Sky Atlantic instead of Sky giving a discount for closing Bravo and Channel One (virgin One)!!

Oh no.....Sky make the rules as they are a monopoly!

Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"
 

Who said we are talking about TV Choice? That is designed for specific reason, not to be bang up to date
