Nialli makes a good point about one more channel to go before VM have 50 HD channels. Not forgetting we'll no doubt be getting BBC THREE, BBC FOUR, BBC NEWS 24 and the CBBC channels in HD in the next 6 months or so.
I remember the days when we only had BBC HD and no Sky, we have come a long way.
Still can't get over the BT deal. ESPN America HD was top of my channel list for a long time so it was it a joy to able to watch MLB games in HD last night, even though my team lost right at the end.

I'm glad they closed Espn America in a way, because all the baseball is in hd now.

Nope.
It not the real free day as Sky are just rebroadcasting Sky Sports 1 on Sky2 for 12 hours.

For all we know if ESPN did not sell out to BT we may have ended up with ESPN America HD as ESPN deal with Virgin Media ended on July 31st 2013.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
a truly sensational piece of business by virgin media. i'd love to know how it all transpired. it goes completely against BT's business model. did bt fold at the last? Did virgin make concessions about the price to pay? was the deal already agreed months ago ala bomberAF rumour.
be interesting to know

No. I don't think that will influence Sky at all. And Sky are fighting BT these days - Virgin Media is more a partner in the pay TV market for them, rather than a competitor. They each need the other.
The trade journal Broadcast reported on Sky discussing Atlantic with VM back in June (it wasn't BomberAF who started that particular story) and there were reports in other trade press last year that Sky had decided to wholesale the channel to other carriers.
I'm hopeful we'll see it on VM within a month but I don't have any inside info on that other than that posted on CF by HowardMicks and BomberAF.
But you definitely won't see Sky channels in HD on BT, nor Sky1, Atlantic or any of the others, even in SD

l suspect there was give and take on both sides despite the sabre rattling and brinkmanship.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Heard someone in Tesco this morning moaning about having to pay for BT Sports when Virgin customers get it free. When the person he was with said didn't he have Virgin, he said no he had cancelled on August 2 and had SKY installed on the 9th. I laughed to myself over it all. He was going to try cancelling SKY today to go back to Virgin, doubt he will have much luck though.

They might do. Phone them up and say you are switching from sky more than likely you will get a good deal. I have 2 TiVo's but I got one in after install.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Do we know what the situation is with sports rights which will be broadcast on ESPN? I thought ESPN would just be ESPN america and was going through the football tonight and have found french football is actually being broadcast on ESPN tonight. Is all french football on ESPN?
Might get a bit confusing if its not...
