General : Would you pay more for Atlantic to launch?

[MalteseFalcon]

Did a thread/poll in 2012 about this, so doing a more up to date one. IF Virgin were to announce on Monday that they had struck a deal to carry both SD and HD Atlantic, would you pay more for the channels?

[MutleyF]

There would be more complaints if it launched with an increase in subs than if it did not launch at all.

Personally, more choice is good, but I don't have a bottomless pocket !

[harry_hitch]

Despite not caring for the channel greatly, I would pay extra if it meant those who want it could get it.

The thing is this-if you live somewhere where you're allowed a Sky dish, then you can get Atlantic, and probably for less overall than you're currently paying. A month or two ago I was close to cancelling pay tv and relying on streaming services, but I was convinced by Mrs M that we'd miss TiVo too much. Fast forward to now and she's on about the savings we could make by moving to Sky as new customers! Go figure! That said, she's right. There are some eye watering deals available at the moment, especially if you go through a cash back site. This is really only an issue for those who either can't get Sky or don't want to because overall they think Virgin better fits what they want from a provider, in my opinion. If people really really want Atlantic then for the majority of people it's available.

Wasn't an option for 'NO - don't care if we never get it'

To be honest out of all the above listed on my post that was my least favourite,game of thrones this season as been class thou and mr sloane is hilarious to be honest I think sky Atlantic is underrated rather than overrated

[devilincarnate]

If they could do the Atlantic as a enema and launch it up the Murdoch family I would to pay to watch that
