FOX + may launch on Thursday - 40% think it will.

Or Virgin will wait until the other four rumours channel launch within the next two weeks - to add them all in the one go.

But I can reveal that FOX + is coming just do not know when.

I would prefer a +1 HD version to be honest.

At least this decreases the chances of a tuner clash preventing BBC 1 content from being recorded when using Wishlists.

Think it's a load of cobblers , for a start i don't think Freeview has anymore space left so that blows his post up straight away.
Now where is that chap with the gun?

I agree with you, but I guess that the BBC are afraid that if they repeatedly make programmes that attract low ratings, they will cease to be viewed as relevant and face possibe abolition.

I wonder if these US channels will be called 'Virgin Atlantic'

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me if LG (with their business contacts) have grown impatient with Sky for being unreasonable about the supply of Sky Atlantic and have decided to go down this route Instead.

It is making sure that they get their facts right and there is no political bias that is important to me.

And don't forget to factor in any personal bias those people expressing their opinions on BBC neutrality may have; even Nigel and Andrew!

The point being that if Andrew Marr, a senior BBC journalist, and a liberal (to put it mildly), says there is a liberal bias at the BBC, and goes on to say that there shouldn't be, then I don't think there can be much argument about whether there is or isn't one. There clearly is, and there clearly shouldn't be. The wider point, and to keep this on topic, is that this discussion stemmed from the information that there is a BBC +1 on it's way. I'm not in favour of the BBC following the crowd with things like this - it should stick to what it does best. iPlayer is brilliant and available across a range of platforms, and the BBC is no stranger to repeats. However much money, even if it's relatively small, is spent on BBC 1+1, will be a waste imo.
