Maybe this is why we have now got truTV and after all these years it looks likely that Universal HD will be starting.

Apart from the Sony film channels, Spike and Your TV, what else is there to go for?

Edit: Could Sky Atlantic be back on the agenda?

If VM want to provide Sky Atlantic, I am sure there is a way to do so without breaking the bank. However, I think that this is most likely to be provided via the Now TV streaming app. This will have the added advantage of allowing subscribers to access the Sky premium channels more cheaply. VM make no money out of these anyway.
