VM still use the SBO brand for some PPV sports events.

Maybe Virgin should rename SBO to Virgin Sports Box Office or Sky Sports Box Office

Does this mean that we will get the Travel Channel on VM once we do a new deal with SNI?

Better a few months late than never
Do you have any ideas what those channels could be and will there be both HD and SD versions of Sky Atlantic?
MB has said that we might get C5+1 and ITV 2/3/4 HD in April

That is strange I have not seen that any where else and the email seems unclear whether it is talking about freeview or freesat although it is talking about transponder, so it would suggest satellite.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
Rumour: VH1 to become MTV Live SD next month?
DS Forums thinks VH1 will be rebranded as MTV Live from April 23rd.
MTVN HD is becoming MTV Live HD from that date on Virgin Channel 310.

Hmmm Panorama tonight was pretty damning on the lengths News Corp were prepared to go to sabotage pay TV rivals. Don't think there will be much coming soon from that quarter.
