A channel/s could launch shortly afterwards or it will be on interactive/on demand stream

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Or it could be purely for testing something and nothing will become of it.

Personal opinion here, but I doubt they will launch on cable. I'd imagine Berkett would say something like "why should we pay for them when the SD channels are mostly studio based and good quality and wouldn't benefit from HD," or something like that.

For all we know Virgin Media's deal with Sky to get Sky Movies Classics HD might include Sky News HD, Sky Sports News HD
and maybe even Sky Atlantic HD

But it doesn't and you pretty much know it.

Any news on what BBC and Virgin are doing on the 3D front for the Olympics next summers. They must have started planning or is it going to be Sky exclusive as usual? I would imagine that they would have to start testing in the next 3-4months!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

They don't need to test anything. The BBC broadcast Wimbledon in 3D this summer on the BBC HD channel. So if the Olympics will be in 3D too it will probably be on the same channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

The BBC cannot withhold , Wimbledon 3D was available to Sky , VM , Freesat and Freeview HD customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

It look that way but still to get it confrim by my insiders.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

There has been comments about 3D channels coming to VM, its hard enough getting HD channels, so 3D is a long way off.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

You tell me as you have close contacts with Virgin.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

VM has plenty of 3D content in VOD. There is no need for a linear channel at the moment.

There are 3D movies, free 3D for XL TV customers, Discovery 3D content and recently added was extreme sports in 3D.

Earlier in the summer the BBC broadcast the Wimbledon finals in 3D and Eurosport had the Roland Garos in 3D.

Sounds like plenty of 3D to me :-)

Also there are almost 30 HD channels now, so stop complaining that there is no content.
