Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

Indeed but you never know. However it seems odd it is a Sky channel broadcasting on the test stream, and a HD one at that. Usually they just use a OD trailer for tests.

If I had to stick my money on an HD channel arriving i'd say Sky Arts HD or Nat Geo Wild HD ;)

Maybe but there are two Sky Arts HD channels but perhaps it could just be one that is joining, who knows!

I don't know if you read my posts earlier but Nat Geo Wild HD isn't exclusive to Sky as it's on UPC Ireland so maybe that's why it wasn't flagged as exclusive, however that list was terribly out of date anyway.

Something must be occuring though!:)

Agreed on that to , when I was on sky before the SD wasn't great although its not a massive problem with over 50 HD channels and more to come.

In fairness SD on VM is excellent but overall it is more than adequate on Sky but HD appears far more vivid though, on my displays at least.

Then again it probably would be (Â£10.25) wouldn't it;)
