I have been looking at the other two British cable providers: Smallworld Cable in Cumbria and Western Scotland and WightFibre in IOW. I am wondering if anyone knows if Virgin Media and Liberty Global do a further merger with these two cable providers, if we will get their weird and wonderful channels that these two services offer such as France 24, Channel AKA and the rest of the Ideal World channels.

If you wanna see the channels they offer for yourself, check out these links:

http://www.smallworldcable.com/Cable...timate-TV-Pack
http://www.wightfibre.com/tv/factual

Click these links and see for yourself if any of the channels they have and VM don't are any use to us and post any replies on this thread.

Thanks

Personally I think the main attraction with Sky Atlantic is that the shows that are coming to it are fresh and original.

Virgin need to get or make a channel which resonates in the same way. Would I be right in thinking that they tried this with Virgin1 and failed? What is to stop them trying again?

If you have something on offer that stops customers lusting over a competitors offering then you don't need to also supply the competitors product.

Always thought there was more than enough food programmes on tv anyway, let alone a whole channel dedicated to it lol.

Well most of us find his posts interesting rather then the anti Virgin ad nauseam postings which we have become accustomed to from you every day.

Pray, what new and informative messages to you post about Virgin.
Pot & kettle come to mind. As long as you choose in the VIRGIN part of this forum to post why you think so highly of SKY, I, and not doubt others will share with you, the many reasons why we prefer Virgin.
I have no problems with Sky channels that Virgin take (for what ever reason) & could not (unlike others) care less if Sky choose to withhold or over price others, that is there choice. However my experience of Sky as a conduit of TV channels leaves me thinking that it is a lot of hype*.It is a poor box, with questionable signal.
I repeat yet again if you are happy ( & I wonder if you are) with it, great. Now if that is settled please just go away

& Post to your hearts content in the Sky section.

*In fact along the lines that was posted here some time ago regarding TiVo ( something I would still not pay a premium for I must add)

The first one was not aimed at you so sorry for the confusion ( I replied to den when had quoted you sorry again)

In regards to the ring, it is a square thing where 2 people go in for 12 rounds LOL

Broadcast: AETN loses High Court battle with Discovery.

Story from Broadcastnow.

A&E Television Networks (AETN) has lost a High Court battle to stop rival broadcaster Discovery using the channel brand Discovery History in the UK.

The two US broadcasting giants initially locked horns at the Royal Courts of Justice last year after AETN claimed that Discovery’s station, which launched in October 2010 after the broadcaster rebranded Discovery Knowledge, infringed the trademark of the History channel.

Like I said slow & old LOL and no offense taken. I well know I can be a right old git. I hope I am a least known for saying what I think. Also I hope it is clear were I come from with regards to my home, income etc. I think that these things have a bearing on the way every one thinks & acts .

You and Denphone post in the Sky Tv forum more than I do. Pot Black?

You guys make me laugh, such ferocious attacks yet you do exactly the same you accuse others off. Hypocrisy at its finest

Back on topic, why is Virgin not investing in making their own decent Sky Atlantic alternative?

But the difference is we have many fine unbiased members in the Sky section who give a clear balanced view of all things whether its Virgin or Sky but the trouble is dear chap we have yet to see that type of balanced unbiased post from you but theres always a first time you know.
