Well, you know where that 'coming soon' phrase gained such notoriety, Den!

I had a second e-mail a few weeks later, along similar lines, but there was very little difference in the questions.
I am still confident we will get something for the price rises.

I certainly don't think it will be Atlantic!

Find it strange that the British channel Horse & Country is on UPC in the Netherlands but not the UK or Ireland.

I thought it was on Sky, Andrew. Have they taken it off the EPG?

Sorry, yes it's still on Sky but not on Liberty Global's British or Irish networks.
I find it strange that you can watch it if you're a Liberty customer in the Netherlands as a foreign channel, but not if you're a Liberty cutomer in the country where it's based, the UK!

Yes that would be nice Harry but sadly SA is something l cannot see happening currently unless there is a suddenly a big change in the current XL pack forced on them by others.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
I'm not sure why people are associating the annual increase with new TV channels. The price goes up each February, but channels can be added (or removed) at anytime during the year - they don't wait till Feb to change them!

I agree den. But in times of war as we live in now bt vs sky you'd hope sky would be more open to allies.
If I haven't gone to sky already one lousy channel won't make me go so they're just costing themselves advertisement. But as the bible states "a Murdoch never admits defeat"
