I agree. With the recent additions of the ITV HD channels the only channel that I really want to see on VM is Sky Atlantic. Of course it would be nice to have some of the SD channels we already have in HD but, with that one omission, I think the VM channel line-up is pretty good.

No sorry, it's not from an online source but rather an insider at Sky.

Ha, ha! Well they would say that, wouldn't they? I'd keep an open mind if I were you!

I normally would, but the fact they were pretty specific with the timeframe makes me wonder why.

I feel it is only a matter of time now that VM are open to adding shopping channels again. I am sure QVC would be happy to buy their way onto the platform like they have done with Freeview.

Will we are maybe getting Create & Craft this month so some QVC Channels may also launch.
