I am surprised VM haven't secured the HD version of Universal. I agree it is a good channel, but the picture quality on the SD channel is dreadful most of the time.

Watch this space around about the 3rd quarter of 2015.

I doubt it, if they are testing off the EPG in linear mode.

These channels have wanted to join the VM line up since they started, but the (then) NTL informed them that there was not enough capacity on the network.

Last I heard was that negotiations took place without agreement in 2009.

I have a dream. That by the end of 2015, we will have a date for SKY Atlantic and the HD variant to launch on Virgin. I also dream that Universal Channel HD will launch and that we get access to ITV Encore.

I also have a dream that bills will rise in October for Virgin customers by an average of 6 to 7%.

I wonder if SA still has the rights for the earlier series of the most popular shows?

If not, VM viewers won't really be happy to be joining the party late; maybe Sky have now left it too late?

If they do still have the rights to the earlier material, perhaps the Sky idea is to show them again after letting VM have SA to bump up the ratings without having to buy new programming??
