The biggest problem is that VM customers are paying more and more for channels, yet when channels come along. The answer is no 'we will give our customers the best of entertainment possible.
If that's the case then why isn't SA on the network.

because Arthur sky wont let anyone else have it even you should understand that by now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
VM this morning has confirmed on its Community Forum:
Quote:
To clarify: at this time Virgin Media is not offering the Sky Sports channels on a standalone basis.
We will continue to offer all of the Sky Sports channels in one combined package.
As previously stated, when taken with our Full House pack we are the only provider where you can get all of the sport on BT Sport and Sky Sports in one package.

If a customer wants fewer sports channels for less money, VM simply won't be meeting their needs.
On another note, the launch of KMTV, the local TV channel for the Maidstone and Tonbridge area, saw the channel leaving the Network Information Table on VM's Code Download Test (Portsmouth) network, being added to the Network Information Table on Basildon 1, 2, 3, 4, Crawley and Ashford customer facing networks. So a fairly wide coverage area for this one.

So a fairly wide coverage area for this one.

Likely their licence covers all the Freeview transmitters with available interleaved space in Kent. If I remember right that will be Bluebell Hill for the medway towns (which are covered by the Basildon headend on VM), Reigate & Tunbridge Wells (Crawley). The Ashford headend covers the remaining areas of Kent that have any cable services at all (Ashford, Folkstone & Dover about sums it up)

Technically the Freeview service covers Maidstone & Tonbridge with a highly directional, low power signal. Not unusual really for these local channels. VM coverage appears to be relatively good for KMTV. I was in Kent over the weekend and Monday and had no reception of KMTV on Freeview, no big loss apparently.
My point about the fairly wide coverage was in comparison with the likes of Made in Leeds, which covers a somewhat wider area than Leeds on Freeview but VM doesn't make this one available on adjacent networks, only to Leeds.
