I would agree with your comments. Sky Atlantic has some good new series on it , but the rest is just padding. IMO Sky would have been better served putting the new series on Sky 1 as it is their flag ship channel.
From Sky's point of view I guess they had to give their customers some thing that was not available to VM and therefore exclusive.

No, it's not as popular as some think. Check out the viewing figures for the channel.

Ratings, sales figures or cash made have never been a proper indicator if something is good. Atlantic really is the channel that Sky One should be.

Agreed - however, ratings are usually the reason programmes keep being made (or are cancelled).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

All the chat on here lately has been about new channels hopefully coming our way. Has anyone got any news about the TiVo improvements we can expect? I read somewhere that there is to be a big update in October when we might be getting reminders, red button functionality and improved SD upscaling. Any more TiVo goodies on the way?

The reply will likely be along the lines of "wait and see".

You usually get more info from the Ceo Office

You get even more if you just wait for Media Boy to post his sourced information and you stopped bombarding Neil Berkett's office with emails.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

I have just received this back after sending this a fair while ago?

Quote:

Hello ?, I just thought that I would drop you a email in regards to new channels that are coming to VM. There are rumours that Premier sports is meant to be launching on VM on the 10th August (but nothing concrete about it) Are you able to say anything in regards to this.
Also it has become stagnant in the launch of new channels on the platform, Since the SKY Arts HD channels. Are there going to be any new SD or HD channels going to be launching shortly? We know that you are busy with the launch and advertising of the TiVo platform.

Any Info about new channels would be welcome and grateful.

And this was the reply.

Quote:

Dear ?,
? forwarded your note on to me and thank you for highlighting your channel questions. The timing of your email is good as we are currently in discussions with Premier Sports regarding potential carriage on Virgin Media. At this time although I’m hopeful on the progress we’re making I can’t promise anything for certain. It's not always possible for us to carry every channel due to commercial issues however be assured we constantly review and evolve the channels we make available.
Similarly we’re looking at some new channel launches before the end of the year, and I will let you know the channel launches when we’re ready to announce.
Many thanks again for your feedback,

The names have been taken out for public safety.
