People used to say Sky 1 coming back to Virgin was never going to happen!

Sky Atlantic WILL come to Virgin Media, just a matter of finances and when...

Before this thread goes all ''Sky VS Virgin Media'' again.

I can confirmed that on the list of channels set to launch in October no Sky branded channels was on the list - not even Pick TV +1.

i heard today one of these chaneels is disney hd

UPC in Ireland have just added that along with some premium Sky channels, and also ESPN America HD, so I reckon (since we now know none of them will be Sky branded), we're looking at Disney HD, ESPN America HD and Channel 5+1 (confirmed by MB) amongst the five coming soon.

Since we know some of them are going to be SD channels I think that rules out the ITV HD channels.

---------- Post added at 17:07 ---------- Previous post was at 17:05 ----------

Also confirmed by MB is that only one +1 will launch so there will be some new content amongst the SD additions.

---------- Post added at 17:11 ---------- Previous post was at 17:07 ----------

Of the list in post #751 that these channels will come from only CBS Drama stands out as notably missing from the current Virgin line up, and there is already a deal in place for Action and OD so I reckon that's likely.

And there my deductive reasoning has dried up a bit. There is one more channel but I can't guess it!

Do we currently get OD programmes from CBS Drama?

Oh no, I was hoping for Pick TV+1

[andy_m]

We get OD from CBS Reality and CBS Action, and both linear channels are on the Virgin platform.

[DaMac]

By saying Disney HD, do we mean Disney Cinemagic? If ever a channel would be really appreciated in HD it is this.

I think they're referring to Disney XD HD, Cinemagic is 50/50 with Sky as far as I'm aware.

---

So; Universal HD, Disney XD HD, ESPN America HD, Channel 5 +1 and CBS Drama? Quite a good array of channels if correct.

As far as I know ALL Disney brands are own by the Disney-ABC Television Group.

I think you was thinking about A+E Networks UK – Who operates History (UK), Bio. (UK) and Crime & Investigation Network (UK). channels.

Indeed, I was thinking of the small print from the Sky HD thing.

To be honest, whilst I'm not toooooooo bothered by HD, I do choose it if I have the option. To that end I'd be quite chuffed to see Universal and ESPN America because I watch both a fair bit.
