Don't see why not; but won't the display be far too small?

Can`t see much point in it really as you only have to go to 4 on demand to see a show you`ve missed. The only winner from what I can see is channel four by gaining more advertising revenue.

I hope so, I was annoyed when More4 +1 was removed.

For VM customers this is especially true, but it can be useful to get another chance to record a programme.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
There will be a closing down announcement by Al Gore at 11.50pm on Sunday, before Current TV finally closes for good. He will be sharing his thoughts on the UK channels successes and closure, so it may prove to be controversial as far as Sky are concerned.
I recommend people watch and/or record it...

So they have another year and 9 months...

I do not think that there will be 80 HD channels by then, we have curently have 67 in the UK, with about another 4 planned for launch

All the channels I have stated are the ones that could come, but as i have said, it is rather hopeless!

So that is another channel coming to VM!
Does his mean VM will get More4+1 and More4+2 (for a short time)?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
But who cares, really, other than it being another stick to beat VM with ("you said there's be 80 and there isn't. There's 79!!!").
They can add all the channels they like but I'm willing to bet that all these moaners only ever watch stuff on no more than half-a-dozen channels; just like the rest of us!
Edited to add:
I'm sorry. My comment was regarding adding channels in general, rather than HD specifically. So let me add this...
I think it might be an idea for VM to replace the SD version of a given channel with the HD version, if available. Of course, the problem with that is that you can't view HD channels on a non-HDTV with anything except the Tivo. So maybe they can do that when everyone has a Tivo device; which is something they are working towards.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
Yes and I agree, but (assuming you don't already watch the SD version of those channels), which will you start watching regularly should VM get them? And if the answer is "none" then why are you so adamant that VM gets the just because they're available on Satellite?
