It's coming to Virgin Media some point next year.

Channel 5+1 will launch on Freeview, Freesat and Sky in early December. It is understood it should be available to Virgin Media viewers at some point during 2012.

If you ask me it's a waste of money and bandwith. I would rather have Universal Channel HD.

Virgin Media will have a better chance of getting it. If it goes into Sky's Entertainment Extra pack or becomes a premium channel on Sky.

my point is that as long as sky still around it will NEVER!!! give sky atlantic, beause it one of the main selling points of sky over virgin media

sadly

We will have to wait and see. If MGM HD came you would likely have to subscribe to Sky Premium HD or the channel itself. I doubt it would be in the XL pack.

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, MGM HD launched on 14 December 2009 on the Sky satellite service.[5] The channel is run in joint partnership with British Sky Broadcasting. On 27 April 2011, the channel was added to UPC Ireland's line-up.

but it's on UPC Ireland which is a competitor to Sky Ireland.

It is included in the Sky Movies Pack on Sky if you subscribe to the HD pack.

To view MGM HD, you will need to be a Sky TV customer, with a Sky+HD box, the Sky Movies Pack and the HD Pack. Alternatively, MGM HD is available as a stand alone channel for £5 per month (HD Pack subscription required).
