VM seem to be sending out some conflicting information regarding E4HD. The ITV HD press release says E4HD will be added to XL?

http://pressoffice.virginmedia.com/p...852&highlight=

Though they seem to state M+ everywhere else?

yes it will be but anything added to m+ is on l and xl as well

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 
How come they are dropping History +1 and Animal Planet +1? Is there still an issue with bandwidth?

And is the 1st isn't going to turn out to be a massive Media Boy April Fools is it, cause that is just cruel :p:

I do not know why Virgin are dropping History, Diva TV and Animal Planet +1's Channels for.

Just to note: Sci-Fi HD was on the list give to me by TWO insiders over the last two days.

Not AFAIK, no reason has been given as to why they are getting dropped, but if it means more HD, then that's ok! :D

MB is spot on :)
