What is encouraging is that Tru TV is from Turner so a completely separate deal to the Fox News one. VM is pretty busy at the moment striking deals!

But Virgin Media are still missing some channels from Turner.

Boomerang HD and TruTV +1 (If you takeaway CNN HD).

What obtainable*, non-+1 SD channels are left of any importance? Just Spike and some of the Sony channels really.
*ie not AMC, ITV Encore, Sky Atlantic and Sky Sports Mix as these are not obtainable

The remaining True Movie channels.

Those True channels are some of the Sony channels I meant.
The missing True channels are True Movies 2 (Sky, Freesat) and True Drama (Sky, Freesat). The other missing Sony channels are music video channels plus the film channels Movie Mix (Freeview only) and Movies4Men. (Freeview, Freesat, Sky)

We have True Movies 1 on 424 and True Entertainment on 189.

Of the Sony channels we don't have, Movies4Men looks the most likely to come to VM as it's on all the other three platforms.

Earlier in the year, Vince said something like VM's head of acquisitions was asleep on the job. In fact, the situation was far worse than that - there wasn't such a person! Since that Telegraph article in April advising that David Bouchier had been appointed to sort VM's TV offering out, I have been optimistic that content issues will be addressed. It looks to me that they are, piece by piece.

HAHAHAHAH extraordinary! So my bitter angry rant was semi correct at least! Excellent :p:

Don't forget Sony Movies, which is on Sky channel 323.

Also, we don't have YourTV, not that we are missing much there!

Anybody know why Virgin did not put Tru Tv on channel 211? Is something else incoming maybe?

The only new channel that I am aware of from C4 is a new Film 4 for the ROI.
