Return of Sky 1 etc? About flipping time.

That might see me stop the cancellation process and move to Sky 1 I'd been planning.

I echo the "about <insert chosen emphasis here> time" comment.

So when does this come in to affect? I'm glad they finally got them back as sky was harsh increasing the price more than double. In time for 24 next year as well!.

So when does this come in to affect? ....

13 November (Thursday next week), apparently.

Which Sky channels you'll get on VM will depend on which VM TV package you get.

Luckily we got XL for the same price(or less, cant remember) because virgin lost these channels, how good is that?!. Well 14th sounds good .

As Saracen says, this coming Thursday. Didn't notice this thread, just happened to be flicking through the channels earlier and saw Sky1, 2, 3 and Sky Sports News were listed again, saying they are back thursday
