I have to admit, Dodo1! You are one keen person!

Here are my list of channels I want from a bad-looking 2014 for VTV customers or I will go CRAZY:

movies4men, more>movies, True Movies 2, POP, PopGirl, Kix, the missing Disney channels, JML/The Store, QVC Beauty, QVC Extra, QVC Style, Ideal Extra, Craft Extra, Food Network +1, Travel Channel +1, CCTV News, CNC World, Fox News (for some comedy), Comedy Central Extra +1, Nick Jr +1, NOW Music, Horse & Country, The Active Channel, holiday+cruise, Pavers Shoes TV, Sky Poker.com and News18 India! And more unrealistically, Sky Atlantic and Manchester City TV !

Another one for more 3D content but a lot people see it as a spent force

Bold ones are rumour to be coming.

Manchester City TV is not broadcasting on any TV network only online.

I'm guessing Sky won't let them do this, or they want a fixed price for the whole subscriber base, not just those taking Sky Atlantic which would make it harder to set a price.

NTL did used to do it with Sky One though but that was probably on different terms.

Why is there so much pressure for VM to have Atlantic. From what l have heard from mates who have Sky, Atlantic is crap. And they have told me that it is not worth it, and have the progs several weeks later.

Just an insight, IF true, a VM sales rep l met at Tesco the other day has told me that, you CAN get Atlantic from your Tivo box if you SEARCH for it - from the sales rep mouth.

I told him about an agreement between Sky and VM. And then when he told me about Atlantic.

Not true; He's either delusional or telling porkies. You decide

Just trying to make a sale by lying through his teeth.

Mate of mine with freeview was told by a sales agent that when 4G comes on line in his area he will lose all his channels so he may as well sign up with sky before it happens.

He's not too knowledgeable on the subject but, luckily, he spoke to me before making a commitment.

I take it at some point Smallworld will be rebranded to VM?

The football looks so much sharper in 3d, not so much eye popping just clearer...

Thats because its the last matchday of the season and thus they are allowed to show more then one match at the same time on different SS channels.

[DaMac]

Mmm I thought the ruling was this at they couldn't withhold ss1&2 and that a reasonable amount of premier league football should be on 1&2 if they where the channels actually for sale, I'm sure it left enough vagueness to be exploited if $ly really wanted too...

I think Den is nearly right. The ruling stated something like that the use of these channels shouldn't change from how they were before the ruling.

As there were last day multiple matches before, there can be after. Also there are usually one or two weekends at the beginning of the season when, due to clashes with summer sports (mainly cricket and golf) the EPL game gets shunted to SS3. I remember the BT Vision boys being up in arms about that just after the judgement. But as it had always happened, it was able to continue.

Yes, once it's fully integrated with the VM network. As an aside it's a tiny operation with only 3,700 TV customers and 6,000 customers in total. It goes past 45,000 houses so the opportunity is there to push customer numbers up on the back of Virgin's national brand and advertising.
