REALLY hope virgin can add both of the eurosport channels soon, i like to watch tennis and swimming on eurosport, it would be great in HD.

There is a British Eurosport and also a Eurosport International, that is why they are named as they are. Sometimes when you are watching it the commentators will say welcome to viewers from "International \ British Euosport" depending on the schedule. Not sure about Eurosport 2 if that has a British and International version

The way it's being talked about as if it's a done deal with VM.

Media Boy had to take off his page 1 listing that Eurosport HD was a signed deal!

It isn't!!!!

We have no idea if Eurosport HD is coming to VM letalone HD 2

HD2 isn't because it isn't coming to this country.

I'd much, much rather sky sports interactive than sky sports HD.

I guess neither will come though.

The ofcom review is looking at both of them, as it sees withholding any content from the channel, be that HD or interactive streams, a form of non-price discrimination, so if one comes the other will.

SKY interactive and premium HD could be with us by mid 2010 even if appeal is launched.
According to Q2 Earnings release

can you quote or link to the presentation if there is one yet? i wouldnt mind reading, if it 20-30 hd channels by early 2010 then that suggest there about 10-15 new hd channesl about to launch which would concide with sky saying they will have about 50 by then

if that does happen the new goverment would nto be able to stop it

It doesn't, this information was gleamed from the Q and A towards the end of the conference call. Investor asked if and when Virgin would catch up with SKY and there response was that. As stated before, i forgot to record this part and it is not available at the moanywhere. I am sure a transcript will become available

If you notice what it says it's 'Analogue switch off in Digital Areas' - there is no guarantee that MK will be Digital by then (if at all)

[musicbravo]

No he definately mentioned MK when asked about the delay
