If they announce anything today will the whole forum join me in getting extremely drunk this evening?

Wont be announced today

Maybe Virgin cant confirm them launching due to the deals they have signed with broadcasters.

Here is what BomberAF posted: http://www.vmhd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/...coming-in.html

Hope you are right but nothing has been rumoured in the investor world

Aye i may look into that. I'm not overly bothered by HD channels and haven't been caught up in the "magic".

what would be truly epic in its failure would be if virgin media were literally just stringing us all along and there was no news or secret deals... i'd be devastated. More devastated than watching a puppy die of a broken heart

If that scenario was to come to fruition then l would not like to be in Virgin's shoes but somehow l cannot see that happening unless VM are extremely dumb and want to clearly lose quite a few customers.

Stock prices in VM have been steadily going up, either we can expect something good or to see them dramatically fall next Thursday.

Regardless, the deal will be strictly embargoed so the investors won't find out any sooner than us customers

Thinking about these channels testing, if they were just shopping channels or +1's etc because we usually know what channels are coming quite a bit before they do unless ofcause it's a very very big channel

Think a lot of us will be. Apart from rumours, there are scant indications of VM coming up with the goods. I understand the need for confidentiality if a deal has been done for BT Sport, but human nature being what is is, they have either not even told their staff of the deal - or they haven't done one.

Has anyone considered that Bomber & Co. have started all these rumours to build up our hopes, so we will be totally fed up on August 1st when nothing happens.
I have a feeling that Retentions will be very busy come next Thursday.
Sorry to sound so pessimistic :(
But at least I'm out of contract :)

why does it always seem that Virgin are trailing behind, they need to bring something good out of the bag soon!.
