An employee should not discuss or share or submit or otherwise provide competitively sensitive, confidential information to competitors or through third parties to competitors, i.e. future company plans, policies, strategies, ideas etc… Third party competitors such as SKY, BT, Talk Talk and YouView can easily visit this forum and get access to the information.

Whilst I agree that there are risks involved, the whole point of this thread is for people to get a heads up of new channels launches in advance of any official announcement by VM.

Without such leaks, this thread may as well be redirected to the official VM website!

Is that an opinion? Insider knowledge?

Or just a hopeful view? :)

Its got as much credibility as Bomber's 'inside info'.

At the moment its just all rumoured speculation without any substance to it.

That's what I mean, but if its positive everyone clings onto it, if its negative its dismissed as trolling, etc.
