True, but that is now on Sky, so I haven't lost anything I watched.
Although Sky closed channels, they kept the good shows, whch is all that matters. By closing the channels they did, they effectivley got rid of the dross that was just filler for the channel.

I Know that Channel 5 +1 is set to launch this Spring on Virgin Media.
And maybe ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD will launch before April - But at time of posting I cant get them confirmed as coming.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
Also, when was the claim by VM that we will have "80 HD channels in 2 years" made?

To be honest, I only ever heard one person say they'd made this promise. I'm not saying they didn't, but the source is, ahem, no longer here, ahem.

It was stated in Dec 2010 and it was in 2 or 3 years that Berkett said it.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
Denphone is right, and it was 2 or 3 years, not just two. Whilst looking that up I found a post on digital spy forum where somebody (go on, guess who!) had emailed the ceo's office for an update in November last year (2011) where the respondent stated Virgin are still on course to meet this claim. So they have another year and 9 months...
