Sky Stream is missing aboout 30-40 channels compared to SkyQ.

Virgin may not have streaming rights which is a legitimate reason for not providing these channels on Flex but feel free to raise that with Ofcom and trading standards too.

If Sky Atlantic is going to be available on Virgin TV Go, which runs on all sorts of devices, why can't it run on a V6?

It can, its part of the 'you need to upgrade to 360' blackmail.

I contacted VM via "X" asking why they would not give me Sky Atlantic on my V6. Their response: "The availability of Sky Atlantic would be determined by our licensing agreement with Sky."

Rubbish.

Why would Sky enter into an agreement* which restricts the audience for one of their channels to those unfortunate enough to have succumbed to VM's 360 blackmail?


EDIT: * - unless that agreement says something like "VM can have Sky Atlantic but only for streaming services and not linear"...?

Can't be that , it will be on Channel 111.

From 1 April, Sky Atlantic will be available to all new and existing customers who already receive, or choose to add, Sky Entertainment channels with their package and have a Virgin TV Stream box or Virgin TV 360. All customers need to do to tune in to Sky Atlantic programming is visit channel 111 on the Virgin TV platform, with content also available on-demand and via Virgin TV Go.

Oh - hadn't appreciated that. I appear to have been trying to give the benefit of the doubt to VM. Don't know why!
