We probably will get SA in Aug, but it will be pretty pointless if Sky put all the new content on another channel we wont get. The bashing will just begin again for said channel, and continue for Universal HD and the missing sports in HD

I tend to agree andy_m, unless he intends to delete his account and/or wants a load of abuse come Aug 1st.  |
Sky Atlantic is going to stay the same as always, The content will remain the same. Sky sell its non premium channels to VM wholesale not individually, so VM will get Atlantic as part of the deal Sky and VM have. VM customers are also Sky customers so sky does also have to offer VM customers a good quality service as much as it does its own. You will also find that VM do make money from Sky's channels but it makes the larger chunk of its profits from broadband and line rental and also services like Tivo. Don't get me wrong VM does not provide Sky's channels to VM customers out of the goodness of its heart.
I am not looking for a bashing, a bashing is not what I will get. I had information that I thought I would share with you, as an impasse had arisen.
