People seem to be obsessed about new channels as tho its fantastic. Its rubbish unless they actually show anything good (or indeed new as +1 is the same channel as the -1)

You are right about channels, only showing good stuff, but who decides what is good? Too many people like too many different things. I detest reality TV, others love it.
You say you don't see the point of +1's, that is fine, but what is your objection to them being on the platform?

I can never understand if we are supposed to be competition for Sky or the other broadcastors out there, then VM must have the same channels as Sky. And other members will say, we have to wait till contracts run there course - absolute rubbish.
What the problem is, is that VM want channels on the cheap, whereas at the end of the day its us that end up paying for it.
Like BT Sports, if WE have to pay for it, then so be it.
I just feel sorry for all the customers that live in flats that cannot get dishes, I can always laugh when l go round Hounslow and see tower blocks with Dishes outside peoples windows, on the 8th or 12th floot or sometimes higher - goes to think, what they think of VM doesn't it.

It is not technically a new channel Arthur you are right.
Your statement is rather an odd one in my eyes. You say VM should have the same channels as Sky, but always come across as angry, upset or frustrated when they launch the +1 channels or the niche foreign channels, VM clearly can't win in your eyes. Perhaps when/if VM get Sky Atlantic, you will finally be happy. It would please me to hear that
You mention the contracts and it being a rubbish excuse. Contracts are legally binding and companies will be sued for breaching them.
The good people of Hounslow probably own their flats and therefore are allowed to put dishes up. IF I wanted a Sky dish, and I don't, my landlord will simply tell me no.
