If my suspicions are correct, we should be getting all the missing Sky channels, including Atlantic and Sky 1+1.
However, if this doesn't happen early in the New Year, I think I will finally have to concede defeat on this theory which is based on earlier reports that have been discussed in this forum. I do think these reports have some basis in fact but I won't be able to prove this until it happens.

Aye it makes sense oldboy. I still think this is what happened with bt sport and virgin media. a sort of we'll do the deal to be in XL but keep quiet, announce it on the day of launch and we'll use the time to bang our drum that bt sport is exclusive to BT and how VM customers cant get it.
If so its a strategy VM have done before to acquire channels. Once the christmas period is over the missing sky core channels could be announced...fingers crossed. always good to discuss though!
