All I can say is - an channel that broadcasts on Virgin and Sky will soon close.

Jesus, big news eh :rolleyes: I thought this was the "coming soon" thread, not the "going soon" thread!

He's been told that if he announces which one it is too soon, the owners will open another channel. :D

As far as I can see all that has happened is......
Some channel called Weetabix TV to launch via the red button.
Have I missed anything?
Losing the will to live
:(:confused::no::Yes::eh:

That's the problem when members start bickering and/or cluttering up the thread with irrelevancies. It becomes too time consuming to sort the wheat from the chaff and people just give up on the thread.

LOL!

Perhaps Sky will be using Living it capacity to launch Sky Bravo or Encore.

If the latter, it means we lose a channel :(

Agreed. All these channel name changes are tiresome, I wonder if Sky believe that their customers are stupid enough to think that they keep launching "new" channels all the time.

Quest +1 maybe set to move packages.

Virgin Media may move Quest +1 to M+, L packages as Quest +1 has just on Freeview.

I suppose that it all depends on what is meant by the word 'network' in this context. Could Lovefilm or Blinkbox be considered a network?

Thanks for sharing though.
