There are suggestions on other forums that SKY might be considering allowing their customers to use other ISP's to deliver SKY Anytime, especially with Anytime arriving on Virgin Media. Do you think Virgin could get access to SKY Atlantic HD, SKY Sports 3 & 4 HD, SKY Sports News HD and SKY News HD if they offer SKY a preferential deal to offer broadband to their customers? The deal would be similar as to how SKY channels are delivered to Virgin customers. Virgin customers are not SKY customers, it's Virgin themselves who are the customer of SKY. So SKY customers taking Virgin broadband via SKY, would still be getting the service from SKY but SKY would be the customer of Virgin. Does this make sense?

Jameseh posted something similar in the channel 5 + 1 thread.

I said Watching Paint Dry +1. Watching Paint Dry has hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube so I'm looking forward to the channel.

You posted on here in February stating Virgin Media are going on a 'HD Shopping Spree'.

To be honest i would not class 7 HD channels launching this year as a 'HD Shopping Spree'.

With 2 that were already announced coming anyway ( Sky Arts 1 HD and Sky Arts 2 HD)

Not unless we get a flood of HD channels in December. Which i highly doubt it.

I cant understand why you would be so upset about this when VM have already stated that they are in talks with Sky , give it time and see what pans out. If by the start of the F1 season its still exclusive to Sky thens the time to feel aggrieved. :)

A lot of the channels you want are Crap +1 , Crap +2 etc.


Sorry if you were offended.

Without looking through the f1 season schedule i would be surprised it they could have.
On a Sun afternoon, at any one time you could have Prem league, football league, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf.... God knows what else showing.
They could have made a tennis, golf, rugby etc channel instead. But suppose F1 is where the money is....

I totally respect what you are saying Lew, I have a few people on my ignore list. The only problem being if someone else on the forum quotes a post from the person on the ignore list you're then able to read it. It totally defeats the purpose of adding someone to the ignore list. There has to be a better or alternative solution.

Personally i'd rather watch paint dry, since about 92, 93 the regulations have stifled the sport, its the reason the Americans can't take to it because most races are like a procession.
