Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I am getting happy - BBC HD plus 4 to come and ESPN - somewhere I read that C4 HD is already testing - so this beats Freeview HD into 3rd place even before its launched.

All ESPN will be free to all tv subscribers through the month of August as well.

I really cant see why VM bothered with all that stupid negotiating to get a good deal. They could have announced this a week ago at £10/mth per customer.

Seriously though, well done VM. I'm on xl and you can't get much better than free.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

great news we are getting espn classics as well hope these are launched next week.
well done virgin things are looking good

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I'm not having at go at you - but maybe that's exactly why VM bothered with 'all that stupid negotiating'

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Arthur will announce Virgin will put up prices to pay for it

the press release saidhttp://pressoffice.virginmedia.com/p...434&highlight=

The reference to ESPN Classic could be a general comment by ESPN about their intentions of putting Classics on more platforms but to me it does seem to indicate it will be coming to VM.

From the press releaser quoted above:

What could be cleasrer than that?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I know that Ben and have known all along that they were trying to get us the best deal. That's why I for one wasnt breathing down their necks saying 'just get on with it'.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

That's great news!

:)I'm happy as larry, it's more than I was hoping for.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Well done Virgin.
