I was told call back on 14th December, quote the persons name who set me up on 50% off friend and family in the first place, and they'll give me another full year at 1/2 price!

Must admit it's looking very unlikely I'll be coming back to Virgin. SKY are giving me everything for just under £63.00 per month.

Didn't you tell us that all the remaining Sky channels are coming? Are you now saying they aren't

Old Boy, you are not helping yourself. You have been challenged many times to prove your sources regarding your certainty of Sky Atlantic and/or missing Sky channels launching soon. When challenged, you have said you get inside information like many other posters.

If you get inside info and you are certain SA and/or missing Sky channels are coming soon, why ask this question?

You appear to have dug yourself into a hole here :-/

Like everything, Paul, nothing is absolutely certain when it comes to dates. Reports of launches may well be correctly reported, but then a technical glitch or something else happens to delay it and everyone is up in arms. Just need to relax a little.

I have only said that we will be getting the missing Sky channels. I don't know what else is coming, apart from the BBC channels on 10 December. I do not have 'insiders' but I have done my research.

Sky have the ability and muscle to offer skysports and movies half price. Sky will let vm broadcast the likes of Atlantic but it will be at a high price.
They are coming but when - nobody knows.

Would you be prepared to make your case in open forum? It could lead to some interesting debate.

I don't think it matters what I say, to be honest. It will still degenerate in an 'oh, yes it is' 'oh no it isn't' debate and although this is the season for pantomime, I'm a little tired of it.

You know what I think, and we know what you think. Let's leave it at that and we'll see who's right soon enough.
