I flipping hope the HD channels launch this week in time for the German F1 GP.

Again, TV listing magazines are done weeks even months in advance and any short notice things will not make it to the issue unless they deem it a necessity. And not only that, with only a provisional launch date they probably wouldn't have them for the week coming. And even if they do launch on Tuesday morning, the likelihood is the channel numbers won't show up until the following week's TV listing magazines are out.

I think I've just seen the catch for me in the Sky Sports season ticket. It looks like you have to be on one of their new packages and that means losing the discounts I've picked up over the years so actually wouldn't be any better off.

Unless you can get the season ticket on an old bundle?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

If you look carefully at what the Sports Season ticket ad says, it states that you can get all 6 Sky Sports channels 2 (TWO) in HD and NOT 5.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

There are only 2 in HD, yet!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

That's my point. If the remaining sports channels were available on VM on 15/07 then why not wait two more days and then advertise the sports season ticket saying that you can get all 6 sky sports channels in HD??

Because they are NOT launching on the 15 perhaps??

I wondered that too neilo as I'm on the old Essential Family Collection with loyalty discounts which I'm happy with.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Dont fret everybody, the HD channels and new numbers will all happen on Tuesday 100% :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

It only mediaboy who has said the date for launch. You should always take what said here with a pinch of salt, mediaboy has DNP all the time and past without change and come to nothing.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

My Point still stands. Why not wait to advertise the Sky Sports Season Ticket until the arrival of the remaining Sky Sports HD channels? Just thought it would have made more sense, not to mention the ad would be stating the fact that VM would now have all 6 sports channels in HD!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

It's a valid point put because sky are doing a new campaign, VM would be silly not to. I think they can't say they have the 6 HD channels because it would be false advertising as they don't have the channels at the moment. I'm sure it will change when we get them but officially, ofcom rules are very strict.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

That's just the point you and I know that. so why not wait is what i'm saying....

i'm saying they are not waiting because we are not getting those channels on the 15th???? If we are why not wait.

Never mind guess i'll just wait lol;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Thanks.

I noticed that too. Another (unlikely) scenario is that the cheaper up front price reflects the fact that only two HD channels will be available with this new package.

Does this new pre payment sports season ticket work out cheaper than getting the Sky Sports channels in the conventional way via Sky themselves?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

If I didn't know for certain I wouldn't come on here and say that I did.

Tuesday is HD Day. :)
