Has Premier Sports gone FTA or has it just been added to the sports sub?
Nope:

From 10 June 2015 Premier Sports will be in the XL Pack for two months.

Talks between VM and BT continue regarding carriage of the new BT Sport channel.

Not a new channel as such, but i've been told that The Africa Channel should be returning after an "outstanding issue" has been resolved.

Oh don't start that again

"No because VM don't want to pay for it".
"No because Sky don't want anyone else to have it."

Take your pick

And also because it offers nothing that can't be found elsewhere, except (for now) Game of Thrones!

Will Virgin ever get Sky Atlantic? comes the old familiar call
I wish the senders of this cry would try and understand a very basic sense of business, namely that sky do not exist to help virgin media . They are a separate company after all and probably feel that a channel like shy Atlantic will give them leverage to woo customers to a sky installation.

If you want the channel that much then the only way t receive it is via a sky subscription. personally I think virgin offer better packages and in my opinion the TiVo is a better option then sky plus so im staying where I am

Where can I watch Ray Donovan, then?

I have no interest at all in Game of Thrones. I didn't even realise it was only shown on Sky Atlantic til I read what you put.

I assumed it was on Sky One!

We've got Tivo. We can't afford Sky. I just wondered if Sky Altantic would ever make it to Virgin media.

So I'll take it the answer is no, never.

Thanks.

U can always do the naughty thing and torrent, but u could just get a NOW tv box. sky will never let virgin have that channel, they had a chance not soo long ago when they had to renew the contracts between the 2 companys, and it failed, but i think atlantic channel wasnt even on the table anyway, sky need to have a channel that other ISP's dont have, just to be greedy and mean. but oh well.

Don't know how to torrent, no idea what a Now tv box is.

I've seen some ridiculously good offers for earlier series of GOT online.

Ah, thanks. Well I can't afford another £7 a month, we pay enough as it is.

I think it's just that some people prefer to discuss things and interact about the subject that they're interested in.

Been given information that BT Sport Europe will be included in XL, but the price is due to go up by £3.

Lifestyle HD to start soon on VM.
