Strangely enough, we have a V6, and I just checked, and I can watch Sky Atlantic on Virgin TV Go on my tablet.

I have the 360 box and I looked on today and yes, Sky Atlantic is available. I was wanting to watch the drama series Under Salt Marsh but it says its not available until Friday 3rd April, why is this?

There are a whopping 90 series in the Sky Atlantic on demand section.

That's a very impressive content boost for Virgin TV customers.

I have added All Her Fault, Heated Rivalry, IT: Welcome to Derry, The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy to my Watchlist.

I think that is error since Virgin TV edit article said available On Demand from 1st April

I am not sure how to report On Demand errors since Community forum is still down.

They've published the 'new' April 2026 Channel Guides... but forgotten to add Sky Atlantic.

Welcome to Derry is superb, the penguin great show sadly a one off though, dune is fantastic.
You're in for a treat with those shows.

Quite a few of the ones I saw listed, have previously been shown on Sky Max/Sky Showcase.

A good boost, I wouldn't be surprised if Atlantic comes onto V6 eventually, but TV Go is a perfectly usable alternative for the couple of series that I might try sometime.

Have I got it right, that Game of Thrones is not on the catch up/box sets. My daughter was watching it until about a week ago when it was moved to the Store and asked for extra payment.

Yes Sky rights expired hence why was added last September, it's only on HBO Max now

I agree. For the time being they're simply using Sky Atlantic (in the hope that people don't realise that it's no longer the channel it once was) to try and slyly manipulate people to move to the awful 360 in order to save themselves having to pay the TiVo licensing fees.

I wonder if the V6 & the 360 will both be retired at the same time when Virgin completely move over to their non recordable streaming box?

So if VM retired the 360 and V6, and Sky retired SkyQ soon - who do you think will still be offering a recording service and a decent channel selection?

There's no need to continue scaremongering, because of your personal hatred and refusal to switch to the more modern V6.

Bouchier acknowledged this: “Yes, there will always be people who want to record, and yes, we keep making that available.”

The TV 360 isn’t going away – there are still 1.5 million of them deployed across the network, he confirmed – it’s just no longer what you get automatically when you sign up.
