I was just telling everyone how many channels that Virgin Media CAN carry.

On Wiki web site they are posting that TheJazz will go off-air on Virgin Media and $ky in the next few days.

No you didn't, you said "I think Virgin will make room for 224 SD Channels ( 32X7 )

and 56 HD Channels ( Virgin need 4 SD Channels to broadcast 1 HD Channel )"

Implying that VM intend to use the space for launching "making room" for channels is not the same as saying what the capacity is.

Don't forget the channels have to be paid for too.

With all due respect Neptune I think your being a bit hard on good ole TV Boy as I read it he was saying that once VM shut down the analogue signal it would give them enough bandwidth to have up to 224 SD or 56 HD channels. As good as TV Boy is I don't think even he could predict or promise over 200 new channels.

TV Boy did mention that we might be getting channel 4 HD, channel 5 HD and maybe ITV HD later in the year. I certainly hope so as VM have drastically fallen behind Sky on the HD front, even if we just get these soon it will be a start. Then maybe VM can start looking at Nat Geographic HD and Discovery HD, I hope I'm not just fantasizing about these last two though.

If any of those channels Windy mentions come to VM, I'd be very surprised (especially the US CBS/NBC ones).
