Only News 18 and the new BBC HD Channels has been confirmed by Virgin insiders as coming by 2014 on Virgin Media.

News 18 was set to launch on November 14th but was put back due to the Netfix updates and no new launch date has been given to Media Boy HQ yet.

The Extra HD channels on Freeview streams are being rolled out across the UK over the next few months starting from 26th November 2013.

So I think the BBC will wait until December 10th (The date I was told by insiders) so that 50% of Freeview households will get them.

den reminds me of princess diana of CF world. "the peoples den". we'd be lost without him. and may i say what an honour to be on that list after all these years of not posting and lurking.

I hope sincerely its possible VM can bring in something to swap HD channels over SD channels like sky. is it possible on the tivo box? i sometimes forget to even watch the HD version of a channel.

I find that I only watch shows that are on the HD channels, I even watch Father Ted on a HD channel :-)

My first port of call is the HD section when I'm looking for something to watch.

I think we'll see a HD swap maybe in 2nd-3rd quarter of 2014.

Bravo.

You cant see the difference with SD and HD Channels. Maybe with Sky you can.

Hope that appalling idea of ditching Sky Arts 2 to launch Bravo has been dumped....
