re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 
SKY Atlantic, according to posts here last year, was supposed to launch by Christmas 2012. Have SKY and Virgin finally agreed a carriage deal?

I'm not having a go at anyone but all this speculation without confirmation of source is becoming tiresome. Long term users of the forum, and viewers of the Coming Soon thread have seen this type of stuff over and over for years. We've seen launch dates come and go for SKY Atlantic time and time again.

Can anyone confirm anything sold at all? Give us something credible to get excited about. I'm looking to return to Virgin in the next couple of months. It would be good to know if I'll have access to SKY Atlantic upon my return.

Would Atlantic being on VM be a deal breaker for you to come back to VM?

Sky really need to ensure Sky News HD arrives before BBC News HD otherwise they could loose a lot of viewers as I'm sure people will prefer to watch HD

Not particularly. Virgin have make some significant changes over the past 12 months in terms of their TV packages. More HD channels, BT Sports in XL plus Netflix.

There are a core of shows we watch on SKY Atlantic such as The Borgias, The Following, Boardwalk Empire, Game Of Thrones and currently Hello Ladies. There are others ways to get these shows both legally and illegally. I've got Now TV built into my Smart TV so if I was really desperate to watch SKY Atlantic I could always take out a NOW TV subscription.

Through my work I can get a great deal with Virgin Media. The XL package with £15.00 off per month for 18 months, with a free 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. No half price for 6 months but the package is only going to cost £48.00 per month for the next year and a half. Effectively I'm getting line rental for free. I'm just trying to chase the best deals.

If I ever came back to VM thats all I'd be willing to subscribe to , their Sky Sports and Sky premium HD pricing is too expensive and doesnt include all channels in HD , I'm interested to see what Sky offer you when you ring to cancel I've had some excellent discounts thanks in part to the current competitive climate.

Sky poker isn't on the list.
