I don’t believe it will appear yet on the EPG. It is possible conceivably that Sky Atlantic programmes may appear on Box Sets in the on demand section, which would be on a par with BT. I put it no more strongly than that - it is conceivable.

It'll be a linear channel OB. Plus on demand and any other medium Virgin can deliver it.

If of course it's in the deal at all.

BT has Atlantic as a linear channel but BTs tv is now mostly NOWTV.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

I'm going to start reporting posts to Mods for anyone paying less than £4 a month for Now TV. Off topic.

I wouldn't discount that either, but then Sky wouldn't be able to claim that the Sky Atlantic channel was only on Sky and its streaming service Now TV.

Nobody outside the business actually knows whether Sky Atlantic content was in the deal with VM. All we know is that more on demand content was promised. We also know what Sky said at the time, which has already been read both ways. I guess it won't be long before we know now.

When does the new deal with Sky start?

It was meant to be some time in 2020, but the timetabling has slipped...you guessed it - because of Covid!

According to a Virgin employee on the community forum, it should not be long to wait now. Although we’ve heard Virgin’s version of ‘coming soon’ before!

Is there any insight into pack availability for Sky UHD, I’m on the legacy VIP pack with Movies & Sports.

Would it likely be a part of that or additional bolt on or only for Ultimate Oooomph customers only?

How do you get it for that price? It's advertised as being £9.99 a month after a 7 day free trial.

We don't really deal with the consumer side of things aka packs etc but at a guess i think it'll be a add on for a fee around £6 this is only guess work though.
