There are plenty of channels that Virgin have not got at the present time quite a long list according to media boys weekly thread.

Do believe Sky will be asking way to high a price for Atlantic to be honest , however this doesn't explain the many other missing HD channels.

'Money bags' Sky have spent a fotune on the HBO stuff to lock other providers from showing the content. They've got low viewing figures and other providers aren't prepared to pay OTT caridge rights.

Maybe their policy has come back to bite them in the a**?

The 4th quarter results (and overall performance of VM in 2010) would clearly disagree with you.

Even more than that in my last count, what happened to the hd channels that were supposed to be coming.

Niel Berkett is a fool and an idiot, get back into the real world, in the end it is us that end up paying the bill.

Yes, Neil should just pay what ever Sky say and charge VM customers more... good point. I'll pass it on.

We will get what channels they think we want when they think they have got the best deal for us customers ( as they are not like SKY and just throw money at the providers ). We are unable to blame VM for the channels that have been removed recently ( they have been from the provider on all platforms.
Can we all just get along as we all want the same thing and all this bickering is getting people down who come here to try and find things out.

Then you'd moan about prices going up... "typical Virgin " etc, etc...

Everything has to be accounted for... expect more channels this new financial year.

I do not mind prices going up but we should be getting more for our money, Virgin have done nothing for quite a while, when Sky took those channels off in dec and jan Virgin should have added some more channels to replace them. instead they sat on their jack jones giving out vague press releases.

So new channels definitely coming before the 6th April???

There is a lot going on. Adding just any channels as a knee jerk reaction to some complaints of "lost channels", which by the way the content will be found on other Sky channels, would be bad business practice.
