Sky appear now to be investing in quality, and the moves they have made to transfer budgets to the new 'Sky Living' channel and the American shows they have invested in for Sky Atlantic are proof of this. I'd certainly rather have quality over quantity any time.

This is why it is so important that we get Sky Atlantic. We are losing Bravo, Bravo 2 and Channel One. Whilst I only watched a small number of programmes from these channels, some of them were good (such as The Riches and Sarah Connor Chronicles) and I want access to every good programme that is shown. I don't care whether this is via live TV channels, video on demand (if it's reliable and doesn't miss off episodes or close the series down prematurely) or the internet (via TIVO) - I just want access to the programmes! Preferably in HD.

If Sky Atlantic is launched and we do not have access to these programmes, I will be seriously annoyed. I mean seriously annoyed. From day 1 please, Virgin Media.
