Although we all have different viewing habits, there can be no denying that there are good quality dramas on there.
As for whether or not SA will ever come to VM, I would say that the only way that is now likely to happen is if Now TV appears on the Tivo box. This overcomes the problem Virgin has with the cost of providing the channel and gives its customers the option for them to pay to receive it.

ITV Encore is only showing repeated material for the most part at the moment, although a new series of The Americans is currently airing.
Next year, we should see original dramas introduced to that channel and I think we should reserve judgement until that time.
When that happens, the exclusivity period with Sky should be ending.

never happen OB mate sky own now tv and VM has all main sky channels
except SA would be much easier for sky to let VM have SA linear channel but that wont happen they don't want anyone at all to have it
