We can hear MadMax right now if we did reveal that TLC + 2 was testing on Virgin Media UK.

For example, how many people have watched 'Kingdom'? If VM advertised it as 'only available on Virgin Premier Television HD on demand' or 'exclusive to Virgin Premier Television HD on demand', this would give all these exclusives in one place and customers would be accustomed to hearing it. This would encourage viewers to seek it out. They should also advertise this generally, not just to Virgin customers, to conjure up new subscribers.

This does seem like a good development and it looks as if there is much more to come. An exciting time to be a VM customer, particularly with a new Tivo just around the corner.

Boxing I believe. Back in February the Daily Mail published an article stating:

"The channel is considering a new project which will see as many as 20 fight nights a year broadcast across their platforms. It is understood the dates will be split between ITV1 and ITV4 with additional plans for a separate pay-per-view channel also in the pipeline."

An new app is still testing as well.

On the "Virgin Premier Television on Demand" idea.

Why not relaunch Virgin1 and launch Virgin1 HD.

And use the All3Media back catalogue to full up the channel from launch.

Liberty Global sign new deal with Discovery for Virgin Media.

Liberty Global has confirmed that they have sign an new broadcasting deal with Discovery and the new multiplatform agreement spans 12 markets in Europe and entire portfolio of Discovery and Eurosport Networks, including first-time ever full and unique coverage of Olympic Games beginning in 2018.

But no new channels is set to launch on Virgin Media UK we have all of them.

Maybe Eurosport News will relaunch in the UK on Virgin Media?

Wow that came in quite, I read it was testing but when did Universal Channel become available in HD to VM viewers? I am so pleased not to see some of my favourite programmes in poor PQ anymore :)

I suppose none of these will be coming soon in HD

SKY Box Office for live ppv events

On Demand's the future Old Boy, none of this linear TV nonsense. ;) And Kingdom is advertised on billboards as exclusive to VM.
