Ok, so why has MB indicated that this may happen? I take it your sources are totally different from his?

I don't know who his sources are mate.
His source could just have info before my sources though.

With Virgin using the tagline the only place to watch all football or whatever it was, I wouldn't be surprised if Sky pay a fair bit of wedge to BT to be the only place to watch all of the football rather than VM, they have the cash. VM will be left with BT as a bolt on rather than 'free' as is now and Sky will subsidise BT Sport if people include it in their package. It's another Sky Atlantic type scenario.

Apparently just a short vacation rather than a goodbye. It now appears to be back on the EPG.
In more technical terms, streams associated with the original Playboy service, SID 1709 have been removed and the service has been parked on SID 1759. The new Playboy service SID 1710, previously testing on 5 internal networks, has now been added across the national network and has replaced the original service on the EPG.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Be interesting to see what happens in the New Year. I hope you guys on Virgin get Sky Atlantic but in my opinion you're not missing much really.
Happy Christmas to one and all and wishing you all a great New Year

I don't know how you could possibly call shows such as 'Game of Thrones' and 'Boardwalk Empire' over-rated.
If you enjoy dramas, you would be bowled over if you took a look at the long list of dramas that have been shown on that channel. When I first subscribed to Now TV, I couldn't believe how much I'd missed.

I agree that, like other non premium Sky channels, there is a fair amount of rubbish screened outside peak times, but Sky Atlantic does have a pretty good pedigree for showing some good stuff at other times (Mad Men, The Affair, The Night Of, True Detective, etc).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
3rd series of 'The Tunnel' just started on Sky Atlantic.
Another good watch, although I would agree that I find anything worth watching on SA

Its funny how you always single Sky out for this , I'm hard pressed to find anything worth watching across the entire EPG during non peak hours it usually results in me viewing Sport or On Demand oh and I'm including the terrestrial channels in that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
New 2tb V6 in the works according to a source.
I thought the v6 was already 2tb though tbh but apparantly it's only 1tb, a new 2tb model is in the works apparantly.

They are completely overrated by Sky's standards anyway. They are good programmes but come on, they attract an audience I admit, but Sky has kept the channel withdrawn like its something absolutely fantastic. I think Virgin was right to hold off paying, for what was probably a ridiculous sum asked for by Sky.
Virgin have never been in the business of giving the viewer what they really want, they have always been slow on releasing tech, and channel releases are done randomnly and generally months after they've been on Sky.[COLOR="S

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
RTE News Now to close:
https://www.independent.ie/business/...-36393796.html
I'm assuming that this is on VM Ireland and/or VM in NI.
As usual they're blaming a lack of money, but RTE is appallingly mismanaged from my dealings with them.
