There is some good stuff on there, but it is over-hyped.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?

On here it is way overhyped. It is no different to Sky 1 and if it joined VM it would probably go in to M+.

You can get some of them on DVD/Blu ray.

Virgin Media need to get Sky Atlantic at reasonable price.

I think Virgin Media will get Sky Atlantic sometime next year and after feburary because that is how long Sky envisaged the channel being exclusive to them for.

I may be wrong.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?

So far the results seem to justify Virgin not getting the channel on their platform. With this type of feedback, plus SKY Atlantics less than impressive viewing figures, Virgin won't be in any rush to sign a deal with SKY.

If you had to rank the following 10 general entertainment channels, in terms of your personal preference, where would SKY Atlantic feature in that 10?

BBC 1
BBC 2
BBC 4
ITV
ITV2
Channel 4
Channel 5
SKY 1
SKY Living
SKY Atlantic

Here's mine:

1. BBC 1
2. Channel 4
3. BBC 4
4. BBC 2
5. ITV
6. SKY 1
7. Channel 5
8. SKY Atlantic
9. ITV 2
10. SKY Living

This is where i would place it.

BBC 1
BBC 2
ITV
SKY 1
ITV2
Channel 4
SKY Living
SKY Atlantic
Channel 5
BBC 4


You can see i do not like channel 5 and BBC 4.

Re: Is Sky Atlantic overhyped ?

Ah, it's just the amusement of debating the issue, probably.

Hey Chad, why isn't BBC3 on that list when BBC4 is? I like BBC3 because it plays American Dad!, which is IMO easily the best Seth MacFarlane show.
