This has already been asked, Virgin Media don't have any plans as yet, it's worth noting that it is the broadcasters themelves that decided to close these channels down.

Sky Living Loves was the latest channel to be introduced by Virgin Media Television shortly before it was taken over, a move to boost advertising revenue as well boost viewing statistics, Sky sees no reason to keep this channel open and has decided to close it probably to replace it with something else.

I had read some where that Sky was using this transponder for Sky F1 as there is limited space available, how true this is I have no idea.

I was refering to content from NBC Universal and Sky.

Was thinking Virgin Media should add Universal HD and Style Network and with the loss of Sky Living Loves, possibly Sky Travel or even Sky Atlantic

Oh i see no chance of sky atlantic at the mo IMO as i think sky are keeping it as a USP.

But the universal HD channel should not be beyond the possibilities.

I would prefer all "new" channels to H D ones that we already have . Could some explain why both are used to run the same channel - Can not H D be viewed Non H D sets? Will try when I get home. Using sender to push to my only non H D tv. I am sure I have done that in the past - do not recall a problem ( or perhaps I havent ! get old!!)
Please dont say because it takes up more space when recording.

Not all STB's are HD, so you need a box to decode the HD stream first, but yes a non HD tv can view a HD channel (in SD)

But their loss is our gain on this forum as you show great knowledge on a good many subjects.
