What an excellent point. I was about to agree 100% when I remembered this quote from Sturart Murphy at SKY:

“Sky Atlantic HD will be such an incredible channel: seminal, world-class, epic TV all in one place."

I agree that SKY Atlantic does have some world-class programming, but is that programming enough to justify calling SKY Atlantic "an incredible channel"? SKY Atlantic, like so many channels, is mainly populated by tired old re-runs of shows that in some instances have already had numerous runs on both pay and terrestrial TV. 2 or 3 hours a day of new and fresh award winning programming doesn't make a channel incredible.

At the end of the day my wife enjoys some of the programming on SKY Atlantic. For her alone I'd like Virgin to get the channel.
