Am glad you are enjoying The Tunnel. The original is a fantastic series, and one of my favourites. I am just relieved they have decided to waste money on what is (imho) a pointless remake rather than acquire the rights to the original. :)

My new years resolution is not to mention SKY Atlantic on the coming soon thread until its launch on Virgin Media has been confirmed.

Does anyone know what will happen to the movie rights? (If they are not already owned by Sky that is.) Will they just revert to Sky, seeings as they help fund the channel or will they be for grabs?

Can't even comment on the original as I've never seen it but I've thoroughly enjoyed The Tunnel. There's a thread on DS many of whom have seen the original. I may watch the original as I believe its available on Netflix.

Cheers for the link, MM. I will have a look shortly.

If you can handle the subtitles, it is well worth watching. It is available on Netflix and you should be able to watch it in time for the second series starting on 4th Jan. :)

That's an unexpected shock. Maybe this is why the planned launch never materialised?? Still, it does help narrow the gap between HD availability on Sky and VM.

Rumour has it VM will be introducing HD swaps in 2014.

I heard this some time ago too (think I posted about it in here). I don't think that it will apply to the BBC1 regions until they are all converted to HD (soley my opinion).

bbc1 and itv1 will not be included in hd swap i think as you point out due to regions. bbc2 has become the first mainstream channel to do a hd swap on sky.
