I honestly dont know why people care so much about it.
There is hardly anything good on it, and there are always other means to access the couple of exceptions.

Arthur: do you seriously think sales reps are privy to confidential contractual information? And not only that, they are authorised to relay said info to any random bloke that comes up to them in the street?

Sky is always offering to VM - this came from a Sky rep further in the Shopping Park. for a price.

But, VM have said they will only take the channel if offered FREE.

So members, it wont be on VM

Oh well, if the sales rep said that, we can all give up hope of the channel ever joining VM. On the other hand, shouldn't you be asking some of the most informed people within VM, the office cleaners? Your next task, find one of VM's office cleaners and ask them the question. That could give us a final, conclusive, confirmation of the situation.

Don't forget to also get an opinion from a Sky office cleaner...

Your opinion of course, there's a few shows on there that people on here have said they would like to see!

I have access to it on NOWTV, and TBH I haven't looked at Atlantic for ages, It's not all that great, Game Of Thrones, yes I will watch, but doesn't that finish this season, correct me if I'm wrong?.

Netflix has much better content, without a doubt, Just my opinion. :)

The first series of True Detective, was great, the second, I didn't even bother.

Did you ever watch Billions, or Ray Donovan.

The Affair, Aquarius, Banshee, Blue Bloods, Boardwalk Empire, Brotherhood, The Catch, Confirmation, Deadwood, Dexter, Fleming, Fortitude, Guerilla, Hit and Miss, The Last Panthers, The Wizard of Lies, The Leftovers, House of Lies, Mad Men, The Night Of, Nurse Jackie, Penny Dreadful, Riviera, Sleeper Cell, The Sopranos and The Tunnel are a few others that have been omitted from the most recent account of what's been on Sky Atlantic!

I've seen quite a few, but not all, of these programmes, as well as Game of Thrones, and those I've seen I have really enjoyed. I do think that those who try to rubbish Sky Atlantic are only doing so to make themselves feel better about not getting it.

The stuff from Sky Atlantic alone makes it well worthwhile to subscribe to the Now TV Entertainment Pack, IMHO.

Well, as so many of the doubters don't have Sky Atlantic and therefore haven't seen these programmes, I don't see how they can say there's nothing of note on the channel.

Yes, there's a lot of rubbish fillers in the schedule, like all the non premium Sky channels, but it is the gems in between that make the channel worth having.

We have Now TV as a app on our smart TV so we have enjoyed obviously many of the good series on Sky Atlantic where currently GOT and Riviera are currently being watched in our household.

We see Now TV as a added extra to supplement the stuff we watch on linear TV as l am sure many others do.

Yes, Now TV is certainly a good app to have, given the omission of Sky Atlantic from the VM platform.
