I watched very, very little of the VM channels, but that's not the point; sky needed access to them, especially Living because of it's popularity. That gave VM some bargaining power.
And yes, personally, I'd rather have Atlantic than "Sky Sports HD, Sky Movies HD, some Sky basics HD, Sky Anytime and Sky Sports Red Button" I like HD channels, but I'd rather have access to a bigger channel selection than HD versions of existing ones, if that choice has to be made.
But why didn't VM see a Sky Atlantic type channel launch coming, or did they and just ignored it?

It would be good to have Netflix on Tivo, but unless, Netflix raise their prices, they won't be getting much up to date content.
If Sky's Now TV has an option for a Sky Atlantic subscription, maybe VM should add Now TV to Tivo? In fact, maybe VM could dump their current movies on demand PPV provider and people could buy PPV movies via Sky Now? They could also buy PPV sport via Sky now, which is something VM don't offer currently for Sky Sports content.
