Real Digital is more the satellite equivalent of Top Up TV than a Sky competitor.

My total channels has gone up by 6 from 361 to 367.
Assuming Virgin are testing some SD channels or HD ones. Either way good times.

Do you have any proof to back up your assumptions.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
I think some of the new channels if they are coming are news channels, I noticed Smallworld cable are adding
CCTV News
France 24
Al Jazeera
Amongst a few random channels like the CBS ones(All of them) food network etc. Although I know that another provider adding channels means nothing for Virgin but if work is being done to get these channels onto cable in the UK, it wouldn't surprise me if Virgin have expressed an interest in more news channels now, as they added the india one. CBS Drama is obviously a given, wouldn't surprise me if CBS reality + 1 comes too.
Entirely my opinion, just 6 new servs(Channels) have been added, so some are obviously testing.

Virgin Media does not typically comment on commercially sensitive negotiations with channel providers, however, we can confirm that we are in talks with Premier Sports and as soon as there is something to announce we will do so. We continuously strive to provide our customers with the best quality and most popular channels in the market, but we have to balance cost and potential demand when we assess new channel launches

No inside news - yet but my total channels has gone up by the same number.
So maybe Virgin Media are just testing them - or the following channels are maybe testing as I know they are ''In Talks'' with Virgin.
1) Premier Sports
2) ITV2 HD
3) ITV3 HD
4) ITV4 HD
5) Sky Sports F1
6) Sky Sports F1 HD
