I only know about what was planned, but I have not heard anything about postponements (not that this means anything in itself). Unfortunately, launch dates are prone to change and it would be a shame indeed if we had to wait even longer for the one channel that is a glaring omission in VM's offering.

Same person who told me about SYFY , FOX dropping down a tier so very reliable.
Still nothing to say Atlantic wont launch this year though mate along with the other Sky channels , maybe MGMHD is launching later as vm will be able to do same as Sky and offer it as a standalone channel for £5p/m for those wanting it but not wanting the movie pack. I know a lot more changes are going to happen and more channels are moving tiers.

To add Netflix are going to go head to head with Sky for HBO content rights when the current Sky deal is up for renewal. I honestly don't know when the rights are up for renewal.

Only downside is no TiVo but is TiVo really worth a 6.8% or whatever it is prise rise

That's what I've been looking at, keeping BB with VM cause I can't fault it!

It's what i did....

So after he BBC HD channels, the only thing we definitely know to be "Coming soon" are the price rises, which in my case, amount to an increase of over 9%. They may have added a few extra channels since the previous rise, but 9% is a bit much.

Cancel the tv side and go to sky and keep bb and phone with vm,if lots of customers do this just maybe vm will think twice about the price rise hike the year after

That's what I've heard too, and also that there is currently no planned Sky Channels to launch anytime soon.
