Re: Forget Sky News on cable - let's have France24 newschannel instead please

there is a French version but the version on Sky is France 24 In English. so we will most likely get the english version.

News provision is low on cable and it's nice for things like the "flame issue" to get different perspectives from different news channels. I don't agree with you that VM should abandon attempts to get Sky's channels back.
no it isint the english version is available throughout europe as are the french & arabic etc versions which have been on air for time. not everyone in europe speaks french hence why they launched the channel in other languages. so it wont just stop all of its other channels & just keep the french one.




however im not that bothered if it comes to VM or not as im planning on installing a mini dish myself so that i can get the FTA channels on Sky using my old Sky receiver. plus i'l get Zone Thriller, Zone Romantica, Movies 4 Men, True Movies 2, CCTV-9 & all of the other FTA channels. the only reason that i dont have a Sky subscription is cuz i dont & cant have a BT land line.
