That 17 Channels may launch by 2014.

Anything from SD, HD or +1 channels may launch.

I have seen the list in full (And the new BBC HD Channels was not even on it).

Wow this is impressive to say the least but l for one am not surprised by all this possibly coming and some need to remember how wrong they were over BT Sports and how many times they said that it would not arrive on Virgin.

Do agree with some of your logic bud,but they have milked it for 3 years now.even sky know when to say enough is enough.as for a sudden mass exodus if it comes I don't think so bud,I currently have both Setups and believe me if I only had sky and with all the new improvements and the right price other than Internet I wouldnt go elsewhere.I truly don't believe they will lose mass amount of customers

It's anticipated that there will be a Christmas push to give those you love at Christmas SKY.

As confirmed today you can buy NOW TV with a 3 month pre-paid SKY Movies subscription. A further rumour today suggested that you will be able to buy NOW TV boxes with a 12 month prepaid subscription to the "SKY basic" channels. I couldn't get a price out of him as he simply didn't know.

SKY Sports News may launch as a free channel on NOW TV for those who miss it from their Freeview line-up.

Whilst this could be nothing more than rumours it's got me thinking that if SKY Atlantic does launch on Virgin, it might not be until after the NOW TV Christmas push.

We will just have to wait and see......

Thanks for info Chad.

IF and it is a big IF, that tag line is used, I could not think of a more ridiculous present from someone. If I did not have or did not want Sky (or VM for that matter) I would be rather annoyed if someone felt I would like a present which (a) I clearly would not want and (b) a present I would have to pay for on a monthly basis.

As for Atlantic, I hope it comes for those who want it. However, I still could not care one way or the other.

I doubt there will many leavers either. Firstly apathy will stop many from leaving and secondly I believe the missing sports channels will be more important to many more Sky viewers than Atlantic. I know a lot of Sky viewers who do not watch much on Atlantic, but watch considerable amounts of sports. If Sky gave VM the sports channels and Atlantic though, that might change things.

Also, if VM get Atlantic and they were scared of a mass exodus of customers, I am sure sky will have something up their sleeves to keep customers. I may not be the biggest fan of the way they conduct their business, but they do know how to run a successful business, keep customers and stay at the top of the TV tree.

SA alone wont make many leave sky I was talking all the withheld channels not just SA as VM is much better value than sky and free bt sports too will make lots switch if VM got all the withheld channels from sky
