Yes, we do; Media Boy was just talking about Sky's silly practice of re-naming its channels from time to time.

It's currently branded as Sky Monsters, but will be returning to normal next week.

Oh okay,thought it a bit odd not receiving all the movie channels.

It appears that channel 917 may now be geographically restricted as some customers are now receiving a message saying that they aren't authorised to receive this channel.

Keep in mind this is only a rumour so if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't.
WWE network should arrive on the vm tivo v6 in Autumn this year.

H'mmm...

Me thinks 'might be coming soon' is rather worse than 'coming soon'.

Looks like never, then.

i learnt not to say "coming soon" these days and use "might be coming soon" instead.

Not much to launch now i think bud apart from maybe itv encore, amc i won't mention the certain ocean named channel as dave will pop up saying "never going to happen." not sure if viceland is on vm yet?
But those 3 are the only worthwhile channels i can think of that would be of any interest to vm at the moment.
I have heard NASA tv is launching in uk on all platforms but no timescale was given, however the app is on youview now i believe.

Yes, I think those three are the main omissions followed by a couple of HD versions of channels.
Viceland is not on VM yet. https://my.virginmedia.com/content/d...annelGuide.pdf

I agree, and it's worth pointing out that most of the content on ITV Encore is already on ITV Collections (on demand).

Sadly, the very few originals on there (e.g. The Americans) haven't popped up anywhere other than on that channel to date.
