Interesting that it says:

Quote:

Virgin Media stresses that Sky has talked about "wholesaling" Sky Atlantic to other platforms

So one has to wonder what the hold is or if this is VM way of saying we will get it but not right now? If it was wholesaling then they should already have figures worked out that they use for Sky One HD.

Maybe Sky was wanting too much for Sky Atlantic for all we know.

It's not delayed. That implies the team are behind schedule.

Channel One announcement from Virgin Media:

http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginm...hannel-one.php (click link for full release)

Quote:

From 6am on 1st February 2011 the Channel One, Channel One + 1 channels and Channel One in On Demand will be closing down on all services, these include Virgin Media TV, Sky and Freeview. The decision to close Channel One has been made by the channel provider Sky as they believe it airs programmes of a similar type to those on Sky 3. Their aim is to provide a single channel that shows general entertainment programmes and have decided Sky 3 will be their main focus for this.
While there is no replacement for this channel, some of Channel Oneâ€™s programmes will find new homes on other Sky channels, particularly Sky 3. A range of Channel Oneâ€™s most popular programmes like Star Trek, Gladiators, My Wife and Kids and The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be moved to other Sky channels. More details will be released and publicised by Sky soon.

I have been given no updated news on Sky on Demand launching on Virgin Media in months.

But virgin are updating their on Demand area by area until the 18th of Feb. So Sky on Demand may not launch until after that date so that every area can have it from launch.
