Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Don't think the clubs will have any choice but to accept this offer .

That being the case, I hope that this new channel will be included in the XL package as setanta was.

The former Setanta executive producer of football has now been hired by ESPN. http://www.sportsjournalists.co.uk/blog/?p=1933

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: Virgin Media tests Five HD Channels.

An Virgin Media viewer in an Ex-ntl area has told me the following in an email:

Quote:
I have found 6 new channels testing.

Five of them appear to be testing HD but don't ask me what as the picture is distorted because I don't have a HD box to view the full test.

The channels are labled as follows.

VMTest1 - Testing HD
VMTest2 - Testing HD
VMTest3 - Blank
VMTest4 - Testing HD
VMTest5 - Testing HD
VMTest6 - Testing HD

Epg on all of them are labled as "Test Schedule"

YOu have the samsung box? if not that why you do not see the tests, but hay everyone thinks they will never launch hd channel s would be funny if they annouced and launch bbc hd in +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 for about 5 minutes then would be a really big kick in the teeth

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

don't VM do this sort of testing all the time. Until we get anything announced we don't know any new HD channels are launching.

Which, funnily enough, is the number of channels they said they'd launch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Not wanting to depress anybody, but haven't we been here before with "channels testing", eg Wedding TV, JJB sports, Daystar and Pop girls or something?
Far be it for me to criticize VM with Andrew around but we still have yet to receive any of these channels.
