Something strange...
When I went to the PPV boxing stream yesterday (21st January) it was showing Sky Atlantic live (a repeat of Ray Donovan). At 6.05pm it reverted to the Eubank jr v Smith boxing bill; very strange...
This has also been reported on the VM forum

Re: Something strange...
So, you were watching Sky Atlantic on your Virgin box. Not many people can claim to have done that.

He says it was showing the channel on the PPV channel so one would assume everyone who paid to view the boxing could say it

Re: Something strange...

Yes, I remember that too - do you wonder if this is Sky Atlantic finally coming to Virgin Media after nearly 12 years?
