Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Virgin Media's website has finally been updated with all of the new channels available on the various packs.
http://www.virginmedia.com/shop/tv/channels.html
HISTORY HD is being sold as Full House only, which is also backed up by this page. I wonder how long the current period of free access to all other customers will continue?
It also confirms C+I should still be Full House only, so the continuing free access to this on Virgin TV Go must be a mistake that they've still not spotted.
They have used proper HD logos for Quest HD and ZooMoo HD, unlike in the TV Guide on the V6 box. However, they've used the Love Nature 4K logo for Love Nature HD.

Watched a few of the live ICC cup football matches, only pre-season friendliest however you dress them up.
Might watch the odd pro-14 rugby match, but I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Shame the free period for Premier Sport will end just as the NHL gets under way.
I love Ice hockey but even that would not persuade me to part with another tenner. Already paying £100 per month as it is.
I dont know how many subscribers Premier Sports gets on Virgin and across all the platforms but you would think it will be significantly less than the subscribers to Sky Sports and to BT Sports. Whilst they both hold Premier League rights the others such as Premier Sports and the newcomer Elevensport will the feeding off scraps.

Premier Sports put NHL games on FreeSports last season, no idea if they will do it again this season.

The Standard Definition version of the channel calls itself 4K on-screen and audibly by the continuity announcer, it's not just the HD variation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
More channels have been moved down to the 'free' Player pack:
https://www.techradar.com/uk/broadba...adband-bundles
Apart from those who want BT Sport, this further devalues the Full House pack. Those still wanting the pay channels could subscribe to NOW TV to top up their channel choice, would be able to get Sky Atlantic and get GOLD back too. I'm hoping that the negotiations to add the remaining UKTV channels are successful as this would be an ideal solution for me.
In order not to take this thread off topic, i've posted something here (post 794) that could suggest that there could be light at the end of the tunnel in the UKTV dispute:
