thanks

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

The Bravo channels went offline on Monday at 6am and Channel One will follow shortly.

Any of the shows you used to enjoy may be moved to another channel as this has already happened with "Chuck" which was moved to Living.

So in essence, you get less for the same fee, nice...

I didn't hear people objecting when channels were added for no additional cost...

Ok, file this for later..

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

Bravo was available to all so in essence a free channel, SKY bought the channel and decided to close it and all the SKY customers are in the same boat as all the Virginmedia customers they have lost a channel which will be the case again shortly when they close Channel One.

Now if it was a channel you actually paid for such as a sport channel then you would no longer pay the subscription for said channel, but as these channels are only included in your overall package which is subject to change as per the terms and conditions of your contract plus the is no subscription fee specific for said channels the would be no reduction in the fee.

Shut down by sky

Wonder who will pick up TNA won't be any of Skys channels I doubt will be a clash of interests cause they got WWE. Maybe channel 5 or ITV 4?

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

Seriously weakens Virgin Media position in the long run. Channel One/Virgin One etc gone Bravo gone 2 entertainment channels gone. Sky now whenever it is the contract runs out litterally hold a knife to Virgins throat under the threat of removing Sky One Two and News again which would make Virgins entertainment package very weak

When the Sky basic channels went a while back it didn't hurt virgin that much. Not as many peole left to go to sky as sky expected. I didn't miss them, I just started watching more inteligent tv like the discovery channel and found a whole load of good tv to watch.

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

I've not watched any Sky channels since they 'came back' after the last spat between Sky & VM - not out of principle, simply because there was nothing worth watching.

So while I don't disagree there is a gap between what Sky & VM can provide - it doesn't affect me, I've been seriously amused by the Sky Atlantic debate, one would think it was about being prevented from buying food, rather than possibly getting a tv program???

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

I understand what you mean but let's remember these channels have been lost to all platforms too. And also VM wanted to sell, we have no idea what would have become of VMtv in the future if they had kept hold of them, or indeed if they had sold them to another party, but they wanted rid.

And also remember that as part of the VMtv sale 13 Sky HD channels have already been added to the lineup that in all probability would not have become available otherwise, with more services attached to the sale to come. And (I think) they secured a 9 year carriage deal too.

I think VM did the right thing personally, these were pretty lacklustre channels with no indication from VM they were prepared to invest much in them going forward.

Re: whats happened to bravo channels
 

whats basically probably has happened is..

Sky have shut down Bravo, and will be shutting down Channel 1

and replaced it with Sky Atlantic

which will only be available to Sky Customers at least for the time being.
