 What have I been saying all these years?!!
 |   To be honest we're all still trying to get your original prediction to sink in. You know, the one from years ago about Sky Atlantic about to be added to Virgin's line-up. 
 
Still waiting...    |

Still waiting...   |  Yes, very true, but I was not privy to the terms Sky was offering Virgin, which in the end were unsuccessful.
 
I say again, the ‘prediction’ is simply my view. We all have views, don’t we?
 
So far, mine is coming true. I still stand by it. The only channels left (bar government intervention) will be streaming channels. Everything else will be on streamers.
 
Just my humble opinion.

 |  Aha! so that is the difference. This time you are privy to the terms of every streamer and every channel. Right, I get it now...   |

 Anyway, moving on from your flights of fantasy and back to the real world.. that moment everyone has been waiting for    - High Street TV Shop has now launched on channel 759.
