Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Spiders links certainly give some food for thought.

Ideal World with an average weekly share of viewers amounting to 0.1% was on a par with the viewing figures of Sky Movies (family), and a lot of the Discovery series of programs. While QVC with an average weekly share of 0.2% put its weekly viewing numbers on a par with Sky Movies Premier and both Satanta Sports channels.

Virgin Media are getting on my nerves now, Why can't they launch 30 HD channels on the same day? Why do they have to be so 2008?

If 10-15 is true, then there must be some exclusives coming, either that or it includes the channels such as Bravo, Living 2 etc.

This is what I've waited for all this time!

Luckily for me my Sky contract is up in 8 days so I might get to save some money instead of paying for both services.

ITV1 will probably do the same once they shed their regional requirements.

ITV1 do not supply to Scotland, stv occupy channel 103. There are frequent variations (I believe mostly to do with stv not being willing to pay ITV's prices). "stv HD" seems a bit unlikely. :rolleyes:

Don't forget folks, as I've said before, that VM has been doing tests, they are just that tests...! Don't expect tons of HD channels soon/next week for the simple reason there isn't the capacity for them - just yet. Once analogue is shut down completely - then it's full steam ahead. A little bit more patience is needed, which granted with VM, would make even a saint go insane.:D
