If we do get Sky Atlantic, it will likely be on a 'non-base' package such as XL and above. That counts as paying for it and so the exclusivity in the ad. may be valid if you take into account the 'free' clause. Wishful thinking, it will be free in SD to all Sky customers but potentially available in SD and, maybe at some stage, in HD to paying customers on other platforms. Even my attempt at explaining it is clumsy, ambiguous and open to interpretation but hopefully it makes some degree of sense that BSkyB are trying to suggest that only their customers will have Sky Atlantic to the exclusion of all others, without actually saying that.

Is there any likelihood of TCM2 appearing on Virgin or is that exclusive to Sky

Sky has a business to run and that means trying to be beat any competition. If Virgin customers want to view channels that Virgin cannot/do not want to supply them move to Sky. That is what a free market is about. (I do accept that some of Sky's moves could be considered more that simple competition). If Virgin do not meet your needs change.

TCM2 is only an part-time channels that runs from 8pm - 4am (When Cartoonito is not broadcasting.)

Any way I think TCM2 will be closing soon to make way for Adult Swim Channel to launch.

And what if you want the channel but dont want to or indeed cant move? Customers of the VM platform are paying good money to receive Sky channels and only receiving a partial service. Time we all stood up for the customer not the big business that is Sky. Ofcom ought to do something about this and they are supposed to be looking in to making it easier to move between platforms. That has to benefit us customers and keeping channels exclusive to one platform should be part of their inquiry.
