I was given 'Hope to launch by May ??' date on new Sky Sports HD Channels by my Rumour poster some weeks back.

I think something is coming with livingit being moved into tvm+ today and the announcement of the new bundles.
Don't be surprised to see Disneyhd channels, natgeo wildhd, cihd, historyhd launch at the same time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

just hoping we some new channels this year it been pretty boring so far ��

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Lets hope it does not go up Vince but there is always a catch somewhere along the line.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

If the HD sub goes up so we are in line with SKY customers then it is a small price to pay for getting the remaining HD channels. Personally wouldn't bother me if it went up to around the £10 a month charge.

There's hope for you yet, Dave! This is all coming a little later than I expected!

I think that is highly likely, MB. It would not make sense to launch them separately, unless there were technical issues.

You don't get owt for nowt, Den! However, as these negotiations have been a long time in coming, maybe VM have already factored in the increased cost of getting these channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

That insider also told me '(Sky Sports HD Channels) should have been launched By' date but I am not going to reveal the date.

No info on if Virgin will put the cost up was given.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

but the amount we pay for skysports is more

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

And that's how Sky would like it to stay!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

They are on about the price of £7 per month for Sky Sports 1 HD and Sky Sports 2 HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

i think its shocking though that sky sports is still so high. For £25 i'd expect all the channels, all in HD and a christmas card from murdoch. it is off putting the price.

I understand a lot of people do want HD channels and money isnt an object etc but i couldnt myself rationalise paying an extra ten quid just for the channels to be in HD.
