Sorry, but this is really comeplete nonsense.

To suggest that companies, usually American, would be concerned about postings on a UK forum about channels that may or may not launch is absurd.

If someone wishes to post rumours on a forum, that is their business and no one elses. If someone else chooses to read these rumours and believe them as fact, that is their business and no one elses.

Forums are very useful for general chat, help and guidance, exchange of ideas and posting news and rumours. Just because one, usually excellent poster, on DS is having a hissy fit, should not put people off from using forums.

It has been suggested (not a fact, a rumour) that there will be more channel launches but VM are concentrating on their Netflix roll out at the moment. I choose to believe this rumour, but others can believe whatever rumours they wish.

If folk aren't happy with free speech, perhaps they should move to somewhere more to their liking, ie North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran etc.

Now back to the coming soon thread, which is 95% general chat and rubbish and 5% very interesting (to me) rumours and news.
