Have SKY and Virgin started discussions for a new carriage deal for the SKY Sports channels or are SKY stalling?

This is maybe unfair to ask, so if you don't feel comfortable answering then please don't. Is there a feeling or a sense within virgin that SKY might try to play dirty when it comes to negotiating a new deal for SKY Sports?

Whilst I'm currently with SKY I would never say never to returning to Virgin if the package and price are right. I don't think it would help the consumer if SKY tried to hold back channels from Virgin.

Haven't a clue to be honest.

Does anybody know what is happening to the shows that are on Discovery Real Time and Home & Health if they are both closing?

Just seems odd to me to close both when they share a lot of shows, the replacement TLC does not appear to be showing any of the shows from these channels. Are they headed to Dmax? The only other Discovery branded channel where shows like Cowboy Builders, Homes Under The Hammer and Antiques Road Trip would fit IMO.

Yeah I posted that in the TiVo thread yesterday after finding it. I only found it as it was being advertised on the discovery bar as I never go into the Apps section as its generally crud!! I'm very impressed!

The games in the Apps section, like the quiz and that, are they free or do they charge? And how do you pay for them if there is a charge?

Some are free and some cost, it just adds it to your bill I think like on the V(+) boxes

Does it tell you before you play them? Quite tempted by some of them, but don't want to unwittingly run up a bill playing them. Thanks for the answers.

I wasn't impressed at all, in fact rather disappointed.

Will a TV channel actually work, we've had a couple in the past (well on satellite at least) and they closed down.

(First was The Computer Channel, later renamed .tv and then there was Game Network).

Well their sod all at the moment we had reviews way back on big breakfast with zig n zag then games master, we had a few on bravo which sadly went. Gadget show reviews tech not games so nowt new.

Ginx.tv has been going a while the games industry is forever growing we have no gaming channel dedicated to just games. Id rathee have that than another shopping channel anyday.
