I can tell you for a fact there is no new news on Premier sports. My insider is telling me Virginmedia willnot even consider putting Premier sports into the XL package(for reasons I will not go into)
My insider is telling me Virginmedia are happy for Premier Sports to join the platform as a standalone premium channel. Currently Premier Sports are unwillling to accept this solution.
My insider tells me Virginmedia will not be putting any other offer on the table.

Yes £8 a month is a bit steep and if it was a choice between that and Netflix then Netflix would win hands down every time.

Q: WILL NBC UNIVERSAL GIVE US UNIVERSAL HD OR STYLE NETWORK TO MAKE UP FOR DIVA TV CLOSING?
A: My Insiders has not told me of any new channel launching on Virgin Media from NBC Universal to make up the numbers for Diva TV being axe.

What a shame! 
I do hope we get Universal HD and Style Network in the long run!

The trial coverage will be broadcast via the BBC’s HD Channel and will include:
The Opening Ceremony
The Closing Ceremony
The Men’s 100m final
A highlights package at the end of each day
The free-to-air broadcast of these events in 3D will be available to anyone who has access to a 3D TV set and to HD Channels, regardless of which digital TV provider they use.
BBC 3D will be broadcasting on the BBC HD Channel on Virgin Channel 187.

Well that is good news for VM customers!
There is not too much 3D content, we do have Sky 3D for example, otherwise the 3D content is good!

Also Loveflim to be included in the XLtv and £5 Tivo fee, £3 tivo customers will be able to migrate to the £5 fee if they want Lovefilm inclusive.

That would be rather good, now we have to play the waiting game...

The only thing that would be different would be regional news!

Why can they not look at the examples of Racing UK, BoxNation and even Sky Sports on Virgin TV?
