Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2

Aye they're saying European football but sky only have the rights to la liga haven't they? Maybe they should change the description from a "channel showcasing European football" to "a channel showcasing la liga only..."

Unless MB is aware of sky sports about to capture bundesliga, French ligue, serie A? I thought BT sport had just recently won these rights tho

Sky have the rights to around 500 internationals Vince. The Euro 2016 qualifiers are now structured over 4 days per round, with at least 2 kick-off times each day. Helps fill up the TV schedule a bit! http://www1.skysports.com/news/11096/8712153

In HD as well

Looks like the guy on the Community Forum may have posted inaccurate information. Virgin have now confirmed on Twitter:

"Sky haven't released whether it's in HD yet"

Would it be safe to assume that is when the other sky sports HD channels will launch?

Just Virgin will need to move some channels numbers to make room for Sky Sports 5.

MB HQ thinks Sky Sports News may move to after Sky Sports F1 on the EPG.
