1. Yes there are some very good programs on it (which is inevitable as it is Sky's flagship channel),but as with every channel the content is not to everyones taste.

2. Is it over hyped?,in my opinion it is not,but,you only have to read on here the reaction not having the channel on Virgin Media has on people.

I personally hope Virgin Media do get the channel,fix the red button issues etc,etc and then I can wave goodbye to Sky for good and have all my services with VM.
I agree. It is about as good (or as bad depending on how you look at it) as a basic pay tv channel should be.

Along with channels such as Sky1, FX, Sky Living and a few others this channel probably forms the upper end of the basic pay tv channels. The majority of the good shows on first run only exist on a hand full of channels and Atlantic is one of them.

I can see why Sky put out this channel but it is no better than any of the most popular channels in its class of channels so I can't see why Sky don't just take VM's money.
