l don't think we can moan about this year as Virgin have upped their game considerably making itself in the process the best overall provider in my humble opinion.

Well if the rumours of Sky not launching Bravo without an agreement with VM are true then i can see a deal being done sometime.

Sky Atlantic is, after all, about 3 years old now?

NOW TV is apparently doing really well sales wise, with cheap SKY Movies and access to SKY Atlantic being the 2 main selling points.

Until NOW TV has been fully milked, I can't see SKY Atlantic on any other platform.

I'm with you Dave, SKY Sports News HD and SKY News HD seem the most likely to launch on Virgin. I can't see SKY changing their stance on SKY Sports 3 & 4 HD. I think SKY might allow access to SKY Atlantic in the near future, as they enter into the last 2 years of their content deal with HBO. I can see SKY cashing in on SKY Atlantic to cover their outlay for the channel over the past 3 years.

In my humble opinion, I don't think SKY Atlantic will have a long term future.

This from my l hear is possibly one of the reasons why it has not arrived yet but it will.

Quarter 4 of 2014 for SKY Bravo, according to a focus session I took part in recently IF SKY decide to push forward with the idea.

I'm looking into it just now. I received a mail shot offering me V+ HD as my secondary box, due to being a Virgin mobile customer. Problem is I've lost the mail shot. It gave a specific phone number to call, and reference to quote. I called Virgin this morning but the person I spoke too was not aware of such a deal.

I posted for help last night on the Virgin Community forum without success.

I'm trying to find out if I can sign up for 6 months half price on Premier Collection, with the £100.00 credit and have V+ as my second box.

I do have to think carefully about my options. Turns out my work has a deal in place with Virgin for mates rates. Just checked to see what I can get as a mates rate deal:
