I never said that Current TV was definitely going to return, so don't try and make out that I give duff information out, so as to try and discredit Media Boy's source.

...That you're able to? We'll take that as a no, then Richard, if you can't remember ever having watched it.
As I thought.  |
I find it extraordinary that you should be so obsessively interested in my viewing habits, so, by all means, do go back to sleep.

Let's see what pleasant surprises Virgin have in store to justify recent price hikes.

I spent 5 minutes looking at Atlantics offering this passed week . Sorry what was on offer that was so good? - The Sky bike team - repeated ( I guess that part). Star trek & honestly what seems to be the same shows over and over. With people I have never heard of. My son & daughter both have Sky & both agree that this is not a channel they use much or indeed at all. I suspect that the advertising dept. of Sky are rubbing there hands in glee at the Virgin subscribers frenzy over this channel.

Sorry Victor but l think that's rather a exaggeration you make of us VM customers getting into a frenzy as yes it would be nice to have the channel as it Would give us the viewer a little more choice don't you think?.

If that's how you feel, I don't understand why you participate in the thread 
I do agree that Sky Atlantic is vastly overrated.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
TCM hd would be a reasonable addition - they have some good shows in amongst some decent films. TCM 2 is basically TCM +5 so should please some. Do we need cartoons in hd?

Here we go again, hope it isn't another example of false rumours and nothing exciting at the end of it.

I cant find anything about Sky1 +1 launching on Smallworld Cable this month.
Can you post link.
Can everyone stop PM me asking me to reveal the names of the new channels set to launch in January.
I cant post them as I was not given any names by an Insider yesterday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
Thanks for the update MB.
I was having a look at the Smallworld prices and they are still pricing the Sky Sports Package (F1 included) @ £21.50.
It does make one wonder. Are VM fleecing their customers.
