That was always the point of TCM2, a TCM timeshift channel, similar to the old UK Gold 2 that used to show the UK Gold daytime schedule again in the evening for those who couldn't see it, back when it ran through old EastEnders and Neighbours. Sky2 is a similar counterpart timeshift channel for Sky1.

It looks like they've decided to replace this format with a normal one-hour timeshift, which is disappointing.

How can I report what I do not know.

Been no update from that insider since July 13th.

I agree, maybe because people keep speculating on rumours started by so called insiders.

BT Sports will be announced to arrive on VM 1 week before the 1st of August when BT Sport is due to air. The reason they aren't announcing it now is because BT and Sky and VM have agreements with VM to get people to leave VM and switch over to sky or BT. When this time has elapsed as part of this deal BT sport will be announced as arriving on VM when stated and Atlantic shortly after. There will therefore be no reason not to offer Atlantic to VM customers on the XL package as they will lose advertising revenue with people downloading GoT via torrents. I believe that VM will have a wholesale price for VM customers, so it may only cost a little bit more for XL customers than prior with ESPN. It isn't going to cost an extra subscription just the XL price as far as I am aware.

I'm fascinated by the psychology here. People are bending reality to fit their desires. I'm a sport fan, I want BT Sport in XL as much as anyone. But there is absolutely no sign of it coming! BT says it is a vehicle for them to sign up more BB and phone customers and that they will only deal directly with end users. VM are unable to do so. So a model was established several months ago with Sky (who are) but not with VM.

Adverts have aired on national TV explaining that VM customers will not be able to receive the service.

But despite all of this people seem optimistic?!?

Why???

I'd say because Virgin posted this on their website a few weeks back. The message was swiftly removed by Virgin suggesting it was an error. A well crafted error I'd say.
