Not that good, though, Chad. It's only a taster of up to 3 episodes of a series. Not much good to me!

Oh I see. I thought they planned to run more episodes.

Sky have announced a major new commitment to original British drama.

Plenty of new programming coming to SKY 1, SKY Arts and SKY Living to look forward too.

Not judging by that schedule. It's probably their last ditch attempt to get people to sign up to Sky Atlantic via the satellite system before the channel goes wholesale.

That seems to be a good guess. Lets hope you are right. :)

Channels renumbering update.

I have seen the list of channels that will move to new EPG Numbers later this month.

I will reveal the names on this thread when we come to that date I can.

Well done Virgin with these new channels. They are filling in the blanks. I for one would rather wait and not pay sky high prices, no pun intended. Some people may have money to throw at HD channels but we don't and appreciate them being available on the XL package. Keep up the good work Media Boy.:)

I agree.

SKY Atlantic has been up and running now for 2 years. I can't see them getting much more mileage out of it in terms of an exclusive unique selling point. If people haven't left their current provider for the channel by now, they never will.

Just thinking after what was posted on Twitter last week when someone asked about the HD channels been put next to their SD channels, and one of the staff said that they were moving some channels and they should be happy with what is happening:confused:

I have a suggestion for Sky; put all their original British drama on Atlantic and put the US stuff on Sky One/Living. That way, I wouldn't care two monkeys if VM never got Atlantic. ;):)
