No channel rumours again :-(

[mattboothers]

All TNA's are on the series recording now. Even Thursdays and Fridays. + the PPV's too.

Problem is though the PPV shows as only 3 hours long on the guide as 10-1am. Where do the ads come into that?

Now why might Sky make SD PQ worse I wonder (£10.25 springs to mind!!)

hazard guess to drop numbers so ultimately it becomes convient excuse to ditch it.

Dont think they ever want any off the channels but some of the programmes. Its not suprising they done this and its quite frankly PETTY & CHEAP from SKY. Sadly they making money because they DONT DESERVE IT.

I seen few who on M are extremely angry these channels aint got replaced they got short changed big time at least us have all channels got quite few channels. Still angry with SKY but more so with VM. All we seem to be getting is shrinking channels gets replaced by rubbish fillers +1.

I appreciate media boy telling this stuff but infuriating that its take VM eons to sort deals out while sky seems to get them much quicker. But suspect sky maybe paying channel owners backhanders to delay deals to upset us.

M users got little better than freeview and thats poor selection beyond main terrestial owned channels.

Glad Ive got all the channels but man VM goto get there GAMEFACE on to sort there mess they created selling out.

M is a "free" pack though and is no longer "sold" by VM. It's worth noting that those on M also get free Catch Up TV.

We’re giving you more control with Sky Sports red button.Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.
If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one!

Hey Sorry for the late reply, football was on

PPV's will be on Wednesday's following US transmission of the PPV. And the catch up PPV next wednesday shows 10-1am.

When the PPV's where on Extreme Sports they did 10pm-1:30pm for adverts. But on Challenge it just says 10pm-1am. Im sure Sky will include adverts.

No I think he'd be happy actually seeing the channels on his STB

Yeah, on XL.

Unless there's a mistake in the text, its will also be available on Size L and the way I reading it, it will be available on Size L for no extra charge.

Of course, we all would, on our own STB/TiVos.

VM can't win. If they say something its , "yeah whatever, coming soon whenever", and if they say nothing its , "Virgin don't communicate with their customers enough. They should say something."

I read it that there will be a smaller selection on size L?

They are making there cheaper packages better at the fear of many XL tv customers moving to Sky.
