No idea - All info I have seen says 'Talks still ongoing'.

Awfully exciting all this.

MB- if a deal has been done for the sky HD channels (which it sounds like it has if they're testing) what would you say the chances are it includes additional channels like sky atlantic etc too?

Only reason i ask is sky are usually so stubborn for agreeing anything the fact they've agreed sky sports news hd and sky news hd shocks me!

I think I read years ago that Virgin can launch any Sky Basic HD Channels if they pay the asking price - Look like Virgin are set to do this for the last HD Channels (Sky News HD and Sky Sports News HD) they signed back in 2010.

Virgin need an new deal to carry Sky Atlantic, Sky Atlantic HD, Pick TV +1, Sky1 +1 and Sky Bravo.

Let wait and see what happen.

I have been told by two viewers that the Netflix and TiVo updates is top of the things on Virgin Media list of 'things to do'.

Interesting list but as far as I'm aware they are currently not in talks for universal hd,when I spoke to someone as ceo's office in July it was deemed a high profile channel at that current time.maybe there stance as changed

The days of losing customers down to channels have long gone bud,thats why we will see sky atlantic in the forseable future.its down to costs what is available in your area and which provider you prefer .
