It'll be free for the first few months and will then switch to a monthly fee of Â£10.00. There will be no PPV price, just a flat monthly subscription. Unfortunately the above link doesn't confirm the channel will be coming to Virgin.

I understand your stance Den and fulle expect complaints from others who do not want more pay channels. I'm a massive boxing fan and this channel, if it delivers what it promises to is a dream come true. Â£10.00 per month is a fair price for a dedicated boxing channel which is going to cover the best of British action and fights from around the globe.

I have ask my insider about BoxNation launching on Virgin Media and I got the following back:

It seems that they must be in talks with Premier Sports? Check the FAQ and will we be appearing on the Virgin platform?

That just highlights how much commercial power Sky has in the pay-TV market, i.e too much. But well done for the ingenious facts, a Sky HD channel is bound to be on the Sky TV platform first, because er, it's their channel. :dunce:

Not another one stating the flaming obvious? What point are you trying to make? or are you just attempting to wind us all up?

We are all aware of what HD channels Sky have anyway Virgin Media have Film4HD Sky don't.
