Of course it works fine. So, to be clear, your claim of the V6 box "technology" being unable to support "the tech in the app" was just obfuscation...

As I said, I only got Now to view Sky Atlantic. Now their programmes get shown on Sky Showcase, there’s no point, is there?

I'm sure everyone quitting a streaming service has their own justification for doing so. Otherwise they wouldn't be quitting, would they?

Especially the UK Original programming which makes the channel look pointless once HBO Max launches, that's if still exists...

My guess, based on the above, is that Sky Atlantic closes. It's about to lose new HBO content and some of its archive shows have recently been made available on Sky Showcase. It'll be pitched as merging into Sky Max, to become one channel with the best of the HBO archive shows and the best of Sky Max. This new supercharged Sky Max then rebrands back to Sky One.
Sky Nature could also be set for closure, as it was recently moved below Challenge on the Sky EPG.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
another rumour is sky comedy is going to close because the office (its best performing show outside the stuff they're losing) is going to move over to sky max.
the thing is i dont understand what the names mean
sky max- its the best shows? the maximum shows? otherwise i dont know what it means? the max brand is warner as well isn't it?
sky showcase- showcasing the new stuff?
sky Atlantic- showcasing american stuff because of the reference to the Atlantic ocean but there is american stuff on every sky channel?
its confusing. i'd rather they just went back to sky one as the main channel, kept sky comedy and if they really needed a third channel give it a name with some meaning

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
Sky Sports Racing's red button greyhound channel is closing on Sky this Monday. Assuming it closes on Virgin too, that must be a record for shortest-lived service on VM?!

Twisting my words again? You can’t help yourself, can you?
And I’m not sure what you are getting at with your second comment. I think you need help, old chap.

More of a "direct quote" rather than "twisting"…
