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

For Sky to have not much less than a third of it's entire customer base paying Â£120 a year extra for HD when it hasn't even been around for 5 years is nothing short of amazing and clearly indicates HD is a massive growth area and any operator who dosen't take HD seriously will pay a very high price.

Thankfully VM and Sky both realise the potential of HD.

I didn't really get HD myself until we got a 46" set, now I definitely get it!

I cant talk for Digital Fanatic here but I have no news on any new channels set to launch on Virgin TV.

I have only seen all the rumours on the web.

Maybe if i had a bigger set but a 32 inch set in a one bedroomed flat is large enough,and without a bigger set upscaled SD for me at least will suffice,i can see though with a set your size why you would feel the money well spent.:)

The only new stuff arriving for sure so far is the Red Button on sky sports,unless virgin have a april surprise in store which would not surprise me being the start of the new financial year, but even Media Boy has heard nothing regarding channel launches.

I would be very surprised if new channels didn't launch with Tivo.

I make you right on that one i think there may well be more HD this year as per DFs statement almost certain i would have thought,but i would be suprised if that did not drip feed through not arrive in april ,but yes more channels should be here sometime.

Although you never know they might throw something out next month.:)

Yes with TiVo they will want content for it, though with its internet conection i think virgin will be looking to tie up streaming deals for tv as well as more HD.

Virgin Media to have same channel lineup by end of 2011?

The NTL and Telewest merger was finalised in March 2006 and Virgin have only got two ''UK Wide'' Channels only broadcasting in some areas so I thank Virgin will remove RTE Radio and WRN Radio from Ex-Telewest or even add them to all areas by end of 2011.

Perhaps they are waiting until they've got all the cash in from the early TiVo sign ups before they can go on their HD shopping spree! :D

You will find that is incorrect as the HD channel only starts at 1400 as per the BBC listings page even on the Saturday.
