From what you ascertain, the deal is already done, and apparently has been done since about June. But whatever, they chose not to actually launch the channels they have supposedly paid for and signed off, because of, err...***** and giggles I guess?

You seem to have this incredibly misguided opinion that Sky are desperate to get their channels on VM, which flies in the face of pretty much all the actual evidence.

We also won't 'see within weeks'. Just like we didn't the last 30 odd times you have said this over the last 6 months.
It is not 'wildly optimistic', MJ. The negotiations and the better relationship between VM and Sky have been reported and it doesn't take much in reading the media reports to conclude what I have concluded. I note that Media Boy is now convinced that some of the missing Sky channels will launch this year.

The delay in launching - there could be a number of reasons for this, but I believe it may have something to do with the negotiations over the Sky Bravo channel or it may have something to do with the launch of the Sky channels elsewhere. We all know by now that channel launches can be delayed for technical and other reasons - just look at Fox + (or do you also deny that this is ready to launch on VM?).

You can choose not to believe what I have been saying, MJ. However, I will be proved to be right in the end.

There is no official confirmation of course, spanky. You won't get this until the day of the launch! Look at the BT channels - I correctly stated for weeks that we would get them before the first Premiership match, even after the channel was launched elsewhere and people were having major doubts about this.

Stay steady - they will come soon enough!
