Yes that would be nice PB but we can't have everything to suit us all the time.

Seeing as they're all made up apparantly then i won't bother giving anymore info in future.

So don't read this thread then!

We are all adults here and know that a channel or service is not confirmed until it appears on our boxes.

I have no problems decyphering between what I consider rubbish rumours, and facts, and I am sure most of us understand that some, not all of these are based on assumptions.

If you read back, you will realise some of the people you are busy complaining about have been VERY accurate in their alleged guesswork

Including the ones that are mentioned in this thread as "confirmed" to launch.

I can understand your reluctance to share information, when all one receives in return from some on this site is rudeness for going to the trouble of doing so.

Some of them clearly are though, as it's been proven in the past and also what SP has said about the Netflix roll-out rumour.
Now where did you throw those toys?

Even Mediaboy now has in his list -

This part of the list has now been removed.

As pointed out already, some 'confirmed' channels are not though are they..

Who's complaining? Am making a point, on a discussion forum.. wow you lot are very defensive.. lighten up!

It's all too serious on here, with rival forums stirring it up, cloak and dagger PM's going on, little

howardmicks · 18-10-2013, 18:10

What going on,hostility again.come on lads calm down,granted anyone can say this is coming that coming and I hope that isn't the case.i have never claimed to be the man in the know(far from it)and have been privy to some info and if people care to check my posts they have allways stated planned not confirm apart from bt sports.
1.the night bt sports started I post on here and even told people on Facebook to give it till end of week before leaving granted I said Friday and they turned up thursday(my bad)
2.netflix posted on here in July that vm were close to a deal and we should see it in autumn
3.more4hd (2 weeks before launch I said it was coming) and no suprise it suddenly popped up on ds forum
1 lucky guess ? But 3? And also I have said sky atlantic planned during autumn,I was told in July that ongoings talks with sky to aquire some missing sky channels.which I was told by 3 different vm employees were happening (one of which was at ceo's office )
Let's just all calm down and enjoy what we have got already and keep fingers crossed for a few more before 2014

denphone · 18-10-2013, 18:13

Yes some are getting too ate up about things and they need to calm down and have a nice cup of tea or something a bit stronger.

I can see where you're coming from but MB only gives information he has been told by others he is just trying to be helpful at end of the day and he does a great job , i get info which i pass on. There is no guarentee if the rumours are true or not all i do is pass on what i get told.
If people don't like the fact that some rumours may not be true then the simple method is don't read the thread. Most on here appreciate the info given.
I can assure you not all but most of my info has indeed been correct.

Also has anyone else noticed it's people who don't normally comment on these threads that are stirring things up?

My opinion on rumors inside info e.t.c at best there correct at worst there just something to read until any channel actual appears in the box. Not really any need for arguments an bickering an the not reading this thread at all option is always there too obviously.

But this is the Coming Soon to Virgin TV thread.. not the What might be coming, maybe not coming, but let's put any old rumour down anyway thread.

I read this thread to find out what is coming soon, if people want to speculate and list any old rumours and people enjoy that aspect then that's fine by me.
Though only a few days ago, even MB thought about launching a 'Rumour Thread', which to me would be a better idea to keep all these rumours and speculation separate and keeping this thread to what it is titled about... things that are Coming Soon to VM..

But don't give the 'if you don't like it, don't read it line as it's pathetic...

Also in regard to your last comment, well perhaps people either don't want to post, preferring to lurk till some actual news is posted that is confirmed.
In my opinion it's the same little clique who make up the majority of posts in this thread, and to newbies or infrequent posters this can be off putting.
Also many of us read the thread but don't comment, and when we do it's for a valid reason and not just posting to increase their post count.

Anyway, that's my opinion on it.
