Satanta Sports 1 has the same lineup as Premier Sports bar one (The EPL Saturday game at 3pm).

We have seen no plans on Virgin Media UK being set to launch all the True Channels. But we feel they may launch when Sony Pictures Television (Who now own them) deal is up with Virgin Media UK.

Last Sony Pictures Television deal was done in December 2011.

TV M was offered as part of DSO. As long as you took a phone line, there were no additional costs. I think you will find having a TiVO on M incurs a TiVO charge of £5 a month (just as there is still a £5 charge for V+ boxes not used on XL).

Absolutely, if you're not bothered about sport and the latest movies, as I aren't, a combination of Freeview and Freesat is the best way to go. Most new TV's have Freeview built in and Freesat boxes are now going for as little as £44.

I hate Sky and always like to support the underdog, but VM have now had long enough to get their act together IMO.

New channel to launch within 18 months. Apparently, they are in negotiations to partner up with Sky, Netflix, ITV and Channel 4. Spot the missing company...

...A contact tells me that (up to press) they are not in any negotiations with VM.

There's a ***possibility*** that Box Nation HD may be coming to VM around 23/11/15.

I think that VM need a kick up the rear, Sky have the channels But VM just wont have them, they appear to pick and choose WHAT THEY WANT, not what we want

Why bother just strike deals and make the content available via 30 day catch up in HD.

To be fair it would be a good start to have Channel 4 & ITV Catchup available in HD, something currently lacking.

I get the feeling Channel 4 CatchUp is also a very basic service on VM compared with the online offering.

media boy. RTE 1HD. TV3(HD) and 3e do not broadcast in Northern Ireland on any UK platform- just the PSB channels RTE/TG4. You missed RTE News Now. RTE signed agreement with Sky for News Now and RTE1 HD to join sky NI soon

So you would be happy for Virgin to acquire Atlantic and other channels then turn around a month later and say because we got these channels we are putting prices up by £x a month? I don't think many people would be happy with that scenario.
