General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1. - Page 190

ChrisB74 · 22-03-2013, 10:36

I've just had a promotional booklet through the post from Sky and well lets just say its basically a boo ya sucks to Virgin Media. It's based on pretend phone call to VM sales and imaginary questions asking about Sky Atlantic, F1 HD, 3D and remaining other HD exclusives and says ONLY available on Sky - haha VM your pathetic! I think that pretty much drowns any rumours of those channels coming anytime soon. Sorry.

At least Virgin isn't run by a ******* who thinks it is acceptable to run papers by hacking into people's phone messages. So I would rather stick with a company like Virgin thanks.

If I was a Sky shareholder and they weren't using their usps to advertise I'd want to know why. Hardly a big deal.

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

We've not been able to come to an agreement with Sky on this one yet! You can always get the latest on upcoming channel news here http://virg.in/custnews on our Customer News website. Stephanie

That's in response to being asked about Sky Atlantic.

denphone · 22-03-2013, 14:20

Thats the standard type comment they would have come out with anyway even if it suddenly arrived next week.
