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.  |
Have you read the thread Old Boy? Sky have started up this channel to be an exclusive. They could have put the programmes on existing channels but have started a new channel because they can keep it to themselves. They have been quite open about it. You are directing your anger at the wrong company. Not that directing at Sky will do any good. The more customers of rival platforms they annoy the happier they will be.
