It is unlikely there was update this morning which is why they would be confused - on a Sunday.

Sounds like you may be switching your box off at the mains and causing it not to do stuff overnight when it should be doing updates and guide calls.

Really? This was discussed on here a little while ago. Sorry, just going away for a few days so no time to look it up now, but there is a link on an earlier thread.

Ah, here it is - wasn’t hard to find!

It doesn’t say any more than that, but whether it gets to VM as a conventional pay-tv channel or via Now TV does not concern me.

Surely VM is a major pay-tv service!

It would be ridiculous to have to pay a Now TV subscription on top of a VM subscription just to get Sky Atlantic[COLOR="Silver"]

tbh I don't get what all the fuss is about Sky Atlantic, just watched Patrick Melrose - v.disappointing, and rest seems to be imported US tripe, much like the rest of Sky's output.

It's not all tripe, Mr K, there's been some decent shows shown on Atlantic over the past few years.

What the actual press release says is more ambiguous than you claim it to be:

This suggests that adding Now TV to BT's TV service is the final step in providing Sky's entertainment brands portfolio to all major pay-TV services. It does not say anything about the other step being required of adding Sky Atlantic to VM.
Personally, I think Sky Atlantic will be added when the Sky channels are re-negotiated by VM as the industry has matured and become less adversarial. But I don't think the press release provides definitive evidence of this, as much as I would like it to.
