Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

Just saw an advert on TV for XL On Demand advertising for a new show on Universal Channel, at the bottom it had the Virgin channel number (but not the Sky one) and it said Universal HD at the end?

Don't know if that means anything.

Is that channel 100 you are on about - I have even seen an ad for 'This month on Sky Sports' on that channel.

Nope, it was pre-roll in front of an item on Discovery On Demand.

Virgin manage the pre-roll for all OD except 4OD and Catch Up so they must of seen it...

Just checked what you have said and it says 137 and as you say it says Universal and then flashes up the HD as well

Sounds promising. My Mum watches Universal so HD would be a nice treat.

Doesn't come much clearer than that! It would have to be an all mighty mistake if Universal HD isn't coming. Could it be that Universal HD on demand is coming rather than the channel?

Not too many missing HD channels for Virgin to get now. Virgin have got their game together, in terms of HD, in the past 6 months.

P.S. Thanks for the snap

I bet the Universal HD advert is another VirginMedia blunder a la the BT Sport webpage and SS1&2HD wrongly placed as part of the XL package on another webpage...
