Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No I didn't - the original poster on that forum (adrian87) did. I wonder what if any hot water he is now in for prematurely releasing this bit of information?;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Any chance it's a misprint and it's Sky Atlantic they've got not Sky Anytime?!?:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Maybe Sky Atlantic programmes are incorporated in Sky Anytime + .....

Sorry, just dreaming!:bigcry:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

That would have been nice, wouldn't it?:(

Virgin, please wake up and realise that content is more important than gadgetry - tell you what, Virgin, you get Sky Atlantic and I'll buy Tivo, can't say fairer than that!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I wish :)

The loss of HBO is a big blow to the quality of TV across all networks (IMO)

I continue to hope VM will be able to add "Atlantic" in the near future :cool:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

A very valid point , with the launch of TIVO I also feel they have took their eye off other areas of the TV service especially HD content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Well we shall see in the coming months whether they have took their eyes of the ball regarding channel launches.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
