Why on Earth would you want that channel? Looks like the biggest load of rubbish so far on TV to me.

Fair enough, but you actually sounded enthusiastic about this particular channel. Just didn't want you to be disappointed when it eventually launches!

Rumours I saw on the web site:
TruTV not being on Virgin is due to:
-TruTV asking too much for per viewer.
Media Boy HQ called Virgin Media "Victor Meldrew" sometimes.
Look what happen with past deals with CSC Media and Viacom.

VM are sometimes behind other platforms because theirs is a closed platform so the channel has to negotiate the price it pays VM. For the other platforms, a market exists in EPG slots and satellite and DTT capacity.
