Colin says he needs a extra tuner so why settle for second best when there is a far better option out there but alas some people will never be convinced by that.

The word MM is that Sky Atlantic will not be exclusive for much longer.

Why don't you ask him that one , I'm sure he knows he's free to choose whichever platform he wants. Maybe you've convinced him to take a TIVO.

Sky have made it their intention in their latest bulletin to wholesale the channel thus expect deals sooner rather then later.

But will VM pay the wholesale price. IF it goes to VM i expect VM to get Sky Atlantic SD only and the HD version saying exclusive to Sky. Only time will tell, lets hope there is news soon.

For anyone wanting to watch the F1 and Football at the same time. Not sure if this works on VM Tivo but im hoping that someone can test it.
Its a good idea from Sky

Well perhaps they have started to realise that there's more to gain by wholesaling channels rather then to continue to go down the narrow intransigent route.

Given that no one else has Atlantic, it's possible that they currently are. There seems to be a possibility that they may change that policy in the future.
