New HD channels would be great but the channel I really want is Premier Sports. I'm not even looking for it to be included in the XL package either! I'll pay £6.99 p/m for this niche channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

That's the only way I can see that being added.

So I see the vast majority of new channels wanted are HD versions of those available on VM in SD. With the certain exception of Sky Sports 3 and 4 where the basics deal meant they will not be made available, I would not be too surprised to see most of the rest on VM in 12 months time.

New content though is much rarer to secure, Sky Atlantic is one right now with exclusive HBO content (e.g. Broadwalk Empire - not my sort of viewing but no doubt some people will like) and Premier Sports is another, I'll wait an see what VM do on those eventually.

With more HD channels this year, I will be well happy with the VM M/L/XL TV packing plus optional extras if you want them.

If you do want everything, that will always be Sky but I feel the gap will be closing and with greater OD demand content via Tivo Internet access say, VM should achieve a strategy of channel choice being less important and content choice being more relevant for the future.

Im Happy with Virginmedia ever since Virgin Media Brought back The Sky basics and Improved on There on demand service such as BBC iplayer, Demand 5, 4 On Demand and ITV Net Player aswell as Warner TV etc plus Cheaper broadband and phoneline and Loads of HD Channels Such as Sky 1 HD, ITV 1 HD, BBC One HD, Sky Living HD, Channel 4 HD, Channel 5 HD, ESPN HD, Sky Movies HD and Sky Sports HD 1 & 2 etc.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Actually I make that around 26 a year (80 / 3 = 26.6666666) - which is even better ;) - esp as I don't think there are 80 HD channels available at the moment (though I could be wrong)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

He meant the HD channel count would be around 80 there are 29 now leaving 51 to come in 3 years which equates to 17 a year.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
