If 2016 is the year of the app/streaming channels, it could be surprisingly good! As long as the material isn't all reality and dumbed down rubbish. We need some quality stuff as well to attract the good kind of attention and appreciation from VM viewers.
Surprised to find the Arte app on my TV. I had heard a while ago that VM were in negotiations for this channel, I bet it was for the app as opposed to the linear channel.

However no sign of the several channels that are available on all other platforms but not VM (e.g Spike, Talking Pictures, Moviemix, Movies4men....)

Well, they told AKA etc that they could only lauch via an app. It was either that or nothing, so there was some speculation that VM once again had capacity issues.

I guess the launch of these channels would prove that the reason they weren't allowed to launch linear channels had nothing to do with capacity.
