I have been told that Virgin appears to be testing 7 HD testing on their Ex-Telewest network.

The 4 HD channels that we know of are testing on Ex-Telewest as well.

The "ex" ntl/cw/telewest stuff is really irrelevant now. Any new channel launches will launch to everyone.

Finally there's stuff "coming soon" to talk about, makes a nice change doesn't it after all this time?:)

Might be more stuff "coming soon" too, why stop at 7 hd channels? If VM are gonna do a launch, they might as well do it properly.;) :D

ESPN HD is *almost* a dead cert, but it may launch a month or two after its launch on Sky.

i think Mediaboy is just saying that they are appeaing in all areas for testing, i think befor ebecause no one on xtw had a samsung box it was impossibel to tell if they where testing,

My God this is all too much for me. I feel faint.

For years we have travelled through the desert seeking the HD oasis then just as we are about to take our lifes last breath the skys open from above and quench our dry gritty throats. :bigcry:

Look out for:

Virgin Media are to move some channels about on their EPG Channel lineup - by the end of this year.

ESPN may launch on XL pack.
I saw this rumour on ''twitter'' tonight:

An poster ask Virgin Media on Twitter:

We're in talks with ESPN, but we've had no new info - the TV guys are in negotiations tho. We'll update you through here.

Are you sure it is 4HD, where is the 4HD DOG? BTW if a channel is testing in all 3 platforms it usually means it's getting ready for a launch soon.
