The ofcom has posted on their web site that Gems TV have sold their Sky EPG Channel for Gems TV 2 to TLCS Hgems TV (UK) Limited.

Info from Ofcom (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/ifi/tvlic...monthly/052010)
It was just a copy of Gems TV1 anyway. And I heard The whole of Gems TV is being sold on, so all could end soon.

Gems TV (UK) Limited hope to sell it UK Company by 6pm on June 30th to The Colourful Company Group Limited.

If the Proposed UK Sale does not complete, it is likely the Company will have to shut down its business operations in UK and liquidate the assets of Gems UK accordingly.

Utv plc is not a small co. and have been going from 1959.

I'm just very unhappy with even the lack of Press Releases in regards to HD from UTV:mad:
Coming soon is no good, in time for the world cup is what we need, watching football on UTV is terrible.

I'm afraid for those who have UTV it's very unlikly any HD channel will arrive now unless anything is going on behind the scenes which no one knows about.

no it isn't. The poster is venting their frustration that VM users in the rest of the UK will get HD World Cup....
I've fired another e-mail off to utv- I'll let you know how i get on!

I've not seen any discussion on this lately but I take it those interested in Spartacus on Bravo know that it is also available in HD on demand?

you are 100% right, It's great that everyone is getting the world cup in HD. But us VM ppl in N.Ireland get nothing.

I've Emailed UTV in the past about this but got nothing back.

Could ITV HD not e put on here as a temp thing?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 
No because it is not licensed in Northern Ireland so VM wouldn't be allowed to
