Virgin as ever on the cutting edge of adding absolutely pointless crud to their line-up. Bravo. (which is also pointless crud)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Sky have 15 100% owned HD channels. It's just the urban myth that's been going round for some time that we'll get these in 2009. It's complete fantasy imho. Virgin actually said "three or four". There was someone on DS that said Virgin would be launching some HD channels of their own, I find this very fanciful.

I was told months ago that Virgin was in talks with Sky for UP TO 15 HD channels that are owned by Sky.

It's not going to happen before the conclusion of the second paytv consultation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I have just found that Virgin Media has added an new category to Ex-Telewest called Sci-Fi and Fantasy and is on TV Choice On Demand.

Re: BSkyB launches high-definition TV push
Hi London2b3, Hoping for VM bringing a host of HD channels, is like waiting for space crafts and UFO's to land on the M25, it won't happen yet, l think 2010 could be a good bet.
They are so slow, l read on DS, that Sky are planning on a separate EPG for a host oo new HD channels coming to Sky, put it this way, on the remote for VM you have TEXT BUTTON, but you can't get text.

What might be ***** to you may be essential viewing to others. Bravo has TNA Wrestling on so it's great in my eyes.

By the way I asked a question a while back that was never answered, any chance Pulse TV may appear on Virgin Media in the near future?
