Re: Sky Atlantic on Virgin Media
Well, I am miffed, big time. None of the channels we have provide a schedule of good programmes that I wish to watch for any one evening , but when you can pick out individual series from the full range of channels, this makes for a good selection of programmes for recordings. Sky Atlantic has a few programmes worth selecting for that purpose, such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire and I want access to them.

I don't know what is possible through the TIVO boxes. Can VM do deals directly with various studios and film suppliers such as Lovefilm to get good programmes to show through video on demand? If so, the picture may not be so bleak, but I am seriously annoyed at the reducing choice of programmes that we are getting access to now that we no longer have Bravo, Bravo 2, Channel One and now Sky Atlantic.

Are VM starting to lose their grip again? Are they no longer interested in their TV viewers because Broadband is king? I certainly hope that this is not what we are seeing now.
