Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

Whenever adding new channels to VM's line-up is being discussed the three ITV HD channels - and Sky Atlantic - will always be the 'elephant in the room'.

Very true but for how much longer one suspects.

I think Sky Atlantic will always be held over from VM unless something happens...

If they boot Sky Living higher up they can get all BBC (-Alba) & ITV channels in a row.

Possibly. Or it could be because ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD are due to be added first https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2013/02/1.gif [before Universal HD & Animal Planet HD]
When added:
ITV2 HD - 176
ITV3 HD - 177
ITV4 HD - 178

Thanks for info.

But If I was Virgin:

116. ITV2 HD
117. ITV3
118. ITV3 HD
119. ITV4
120. ITV4 HD
174. ITV2 +1
175. ITV3 +1
176. ITV4 +1
178. Sky Livingit +1

Not all the time and it helps that they are staff? to my knowledge

Media Boy, l know that VM have True Movies 1, and True Entertainment, but why doesn't VM have True Movies 2.

Isle of Wight cable has that that channel, so does Sky so l cannot see why we dont have it.
