After changes at the top at both Sky and Virgin Media, it looks like the two could be on the verge of patching up their differences and returning Sky channels to Virgin Media subscribers.

Programmes such as Lost, 24 and of course the mighty Gladiators have been off-air to Virgin customers, but with reports of recent dialogue between the companies, the Sky channels may be set to return.

The two subscription services came to blows over pricing last year, leading Sky to take its ball away. Happily, the two companies could well be playing merrily again, which would be great news for Virgin Media consumers.

Could it be that the recent Freesat announcements have given the pair of them something to think about?

Great news and you're bang on about Freesat mate.

If Freesat wasn't on the verge of launching then the stalemate wouldn't have ended.

Sky = Bully.

[smirnoff_rules]

sound like u need to google rapidshare and newsgroups aswell m8 .. u will never miss anything then

[rashonly]

Hope its back soon , missing the simpsons

[Hulmerist]

Um, I think I may be in the minority here, but I don't miss Sky one at all. Other than Lost and maybe The Simpsons I think their schedules were pretty poor viewing and as mentioned in previous posts it's not like you can't get them elsewhere ;)

[bir087]

It would be great to see sky again, that if it is true? any idea when?:congrats:

[Migz]

thats great news bring back sky 1 ;)

[Gun_Man]

Good its about time to :elefant:

[random_paddy]

Not seen any signs of this and i'm sure VM would be advertising the tails outta this if it was in the tube for the near future.
Here's secretly hoping tho. Simpsons ahoy!

[redmanc2004]

Has anyone heard any more as to if this is true??

[wynnyin]

has anyone got any ideas when this is going to happen

[pacman362]

I have not seen nor heard anything ? which is weird because i have virgin here and would of thought they would advertise the fact that its going to be back !!.
