Sounds like you may be switching your box off at the mains and causing it not to do stuff overnight when it should be doing updates and guide calls.

Well the update added the bar above mini guide in channels with red button

The press release makes clear that Sky’s portfolio of channels, including Sky Atlantic, will be available on all major platforms.
It doesn’t say any more than that, but whether it gets to VM as a conventional pay-tv channel or via Now TV does not concern me.

But it will concern others who don't want to pay anymore 
Not everyone wants to pay all their money to a TV provider every month.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
It would be ridiculous to have to pay a Now TV subscription on top of a VM subscription just to get Sky Atlantic[COLOR="Silver"]

What the actual press release says is more ambiguous than you claim it to be:
Quote:
By adding Now TV to the heart of BT’s TV offering, Sky’s portfolio of TV entertainment brands will be available to all UK consumers through each major Pay-TV service, reaching new customers and expanding the appeal of our channels to advertisers...
UK consumers will have even more ways to watch great Sky entertainment content with our leading portfolio of channels – Sky Atlantic, Sky One and Sky Living – available on all major Pay-TV platforms for the first time.
|
This suggests that adding Now TV to BT's TV service is the final step in providing Sky's entertainment brands portfolio to all major pay-TV services. It does not say anything about the other step being required of adding Sky Atlantic to VM.
Personally, I think Sky Atlantic will be added when the Sky channels are re-negotiated by VM as the industry has matured and become less adversarial. But I don't think the press release provides definitive evidence of this, as much as I would like it to.

Sky will still want to see the colour of Virgins money and if that is not forthcoming then you can forget it..

Do you have any friends/relatives with Sky ? They are allowed 4 devices on Sky Go - use one - it's how i get Sky Sports coverage.
tbh I don't get what all the fuss is about Sky Atlantic, just watched Patrick Melrose - v.disappointing, and rest seems to be imported US tripe, much like the rest of Sky's output.

It's not all tripe, Mr K, there's been some decent shows shown on Atlantic over the past few years.

With Sky launching its own full IPTV service this year, could it be that VM will offer a Sky streaming service offering Sky branded on demand content and channels incl Sky Atlantic?

Melrose was interesting, although I mainly watched the first episode for it was filmed in Glasgow. That isn't NYC at all.
