Not saying you would, but it could happen.

Amended my post due to the bad English

Look like MTV Xmas will be staying on MTV CLASSIC on Virgin Media Ireland this year.

But from November 9th MTV ROCKS will become VH1 Christmas.

Can anyone in Ex-NTL areas remember "Scuzz" here some sad news for anyone still in hope of Scuzz relaunching on Virgin Media.

Sky Viewers on the web is reporting that Sony (who now own Scuzz) will axe Scuzz from Astra UK on November 15th.

Broadcastnow is reporting "Discovery set to swoop on Dave slot"

Broadcastnow think Discovery may put Quest on Dave channel number on Sky.

Under reported plans BBC will end up with GOLD, W and Drama.

Discovery will end up with UKTV's Lifestyle channels.

What is the current situation with Eleven? It looked a deal was well on the way to being done a few weeks ago.

A lot of the Starz originals already seem to be shown on Netlflix and Amazon.

Same here. It wouldn't be a bad little add on for those on top package but another £4.99 isn't worth it for me

Surprised they haven't tried to incorporate it into the top package. I probably wouldn't have watch much, but definitely won't be paying an additional £4.99

Looking to cut my monthly tv spend not increase it so will not be taking up this offer.

Not for me, we have access to Netflix and Amazon.
