True, but blind loyalty has disadvantages. We don't know if the views you express on the forums are what you really think or your company loyalty taking over your views?

VM will have tried to get this channel, but getting something "at any cost" isn't something any business should do. IMO

Agree

Don't get me wrong, I think Virgin offer a good service, but you seem to defend every single decision they make. No one gets everything right.

and some people constantly slag them off at every given moment.

I don't tell other posters that they can't post their opinions, I simply have the right to respond to issues I'm knowledgable about.

There are some posters, who treat the VM Staff on here as fair game to attack.

If you look around this forum, myself and others go to great lengths to help customers, usually in our own time.

I'm starting to wonder why I bother.

We tend to know our products where as most people posting here do not so what would you prefer supposition or the facts.

So, is anything actually coming soon?

All that seems to be happening at the moment ia a lot of VM slagging off and what`s not coming.

The discussion wasn't about products, which I agree VM staff are very helpfull on; it was about Sky buying the VM channels and lack of Sky Atalntic from the launch. If company loyalty is influencing your comments on these, then (to me) they are biased.

Well said DF and MASQUE you do go out of your way to help all on here.

PS I thought that it was getting round to that time of year again ( open season on all of VM staff )

Surprisingly we are quite restrained in our answers as well as we explain it all once again.

Surely the fact that it has been said (on this thread) that Sky Atlantic is not coming to VM at launch, is relevant to this thread discussion?

It is also says so in the SKY Atlantic thread and it is SKY who are to blame anyway as they have not allowed Virginmedia access to to the channel.

The link to that thread is below.

And why am I not surprised you said that?

In reality, it's probably both Sky and Virgin who are to blame.

SKY are keeping access to themselves so who else can you blame and very likely have asked for silly money to ensure that at present you cannot see that channel anywhere else.

Unless you were part of the VM channel sale and Sky Atlantic negotiations, that is pure speculation on your part and it just goes to prove the point I was making; some VM staff will always defend VM irrespective of lack of facts or evidence.

More realistic than most of the comments made so far about not getting the channels and complaining about it though.
