Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about Blue Bloods, that might be good.

You failed to say "In my opinion". I have recently bought a Roku3 box with a Sky entertainment pass solely to access Sky Atlantic. I have watched Blue Bloods, Game of Thrones and True Detective all of which I have enjoyed so far. I personally and I'm sure, many others would love to see Sky Atlantic coming to Virgin.

You can't be 100% sure that this is the case mate, I think it will come in time, and I do agree that there are some really good shows on Atlantic, and I for one would love to see it on Virgin.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
If Sky and VM are willing to have talks over it, it could be closer than we think.
Be great if VM pulled it out of the bag, but I guess a price increase or straight in the XL pack would be the fall-out

Sky Atlantic does have a fair bit of filler on it but these days, which channels don't? I've got access to it via Now TV at present and there are some excellent shows on there as others have pointed out (so glad The Following is back with season 3!). It is another reason for me considering the switch to Sky although I have to admit price is the main factor.

Sky doesn't have enough original content to justify the existence of both Sky One and Sky Atlantic. SA was a way of devaluing Sky One after their humiliating climbdown in their row with VM over the carriage charges for Flextech and Sky Basics.

Don't hesitate OB, get straight onto True Detective - legally or otherwise. Genuinely one of the best shows I have ever seen. I have even paid full price for the bluray, even though there are next to no extras on the boxset. Worth every penny though.
It's a shame, in my eyes, the rest of the programming on SA is so over-rated.

Yes, Sky screwed VM and it would appear that VM didn't see it coming. And, yes, we do know about the Sky channels HD trade off but VM still got out-played by Sky IMHO.

Absolutely spot on.
Now that the Horror Channel is on Freeview, I wonder if VM will put it into the M TV pack with the rest of the channels that they have that are on Freeview??
IIRC, it was in XL and moved down to L??
I also wonder why we didn't get the pop up radio station that was on last Thur to Sun- Radio 2 Country. After all, VM pay no carriage fees for BBC TV & radio channels.
If they can do it for one football match, I don't see why they couldn't have done it for a four day event.

I do have to laugh sometimes i'm no fan of Sky Atlantic but the ammount of people slating it makes me chuckle because if/when it launches on vm some of those slating the channel will be like "oh well done vm this channel is great" :P:

Lol, I certainly won't be one of them. I can watch it quite easily through my brothers sky go account, it is rare to find a program on there that appeals to me.
