Were am I blaming VM ?
I take Sky as these are the channels I watch the most , I'm not interested in corporate arguments between companies nor am I loyal to one company I'm interested in price and channel range on offer. Once VM add them or Sky are made to give access to them , I then have an option.

MM is spot on again,
He is with the prover that give him the channels he want's but that doesn't stop him from having a valid opinion on VM
I am with VM have been for years, but I would love to have "Atlantic" as many of us would, even as a premium add on
I will "keep the faith" with VM, in the believe that if its commercially possible for them, then "Atlantic" will be part of the package in the future

Don't worry , as Den says forums would be a boring place if we all agreed. I honestly believe this deal VM have signed for Sky's Anytime content is a top drawer decision , it's made me seriously think of VM when my Sky contract is up. Which just goes to show how content sways people from one provider to another. I agree with your view and many others that VM should get fair access to Sky content in much the same way Sky should get a fair price after all they invest a lot. With Sky Sports 3 and 4 HD , ESPNA HD and Sky Atlantic HD I would be back with VM at contract end.
Sky Movies OD and in HD on VM will be a real bonus for movie subscribers.

Well there is a fair bit there that I would like to watch,
I suppose the only new show is "Nurse Jackie" and "The Therapist" and even though its an "Atlantic" repeat "Broadwalk Empire" would be new to me
And I would like another go at, "The Soprano's", "Big Love", "Carnival" so all in all I would like the schedule, I suppose it's all down to personal choice in the end
