Post Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
Apologies if this has already been said but I'm still catching up on several days of 'heavy' posting in this and a couple of other related threads, so some of my replies are lagging behind a bit.

Some criticism has been laid at VM for not negotiating access to Sky Atlantic SD/HD (yet) and it has been said that it is their own choice/fault and not due to exclusivity measures by Sky.

I would like to point out that the other TV platforms are also being left without this channel. Whether or not they have also tried to negotiate for SA I don't know but it certainly looks like it is purely down to Sky wanting this to be an exclusive channel to their direct customers, at least at launch. If any negotiations have been attempted, they have doubtless failed on prohibitive pricing or conditions.
