Well I for one don't believe it.

Its been proved that Virgin are running out of bandwidth, that's they've been working so hard to remove channels.

;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

certainly would explain the lack of new channels,But df usually knows what he is talking about so heres hoping for more annoucements over the next week;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

They're not running out of bandwidth, when analogue tv was switched off last year that freed up oodles of space.

VM have explained in their City presentations that some cable areas have less capacity than others due to the different legacy networks of the old cablecos. But VM have never used that as an excuse for not launching new channels.

VM are in 6 billion debt. They have set budgets each year and have to keep to them. When they say they have £200 million budget (or whatever it is) for new services each year including tivo and new channels, they mean it. They cannot just spend an extra half a billion in additional to their set budget for extra channels, because they're in too much debt.

Now we are in a new financial year, means a new budget, means more channel launches. But don't forget that unlike Sky, which has to except all new channels onto its platform, regardless of budgets, VM selects what channels it launches. Cable has always been like this and it always will. If you want the maximum amount of channels, then go to Sky.

Cable will never have the same line up as Sky.

Erm....I was being sarcastic, hence the ;) .....but thanks for the feedback. :) This should be another great year for VM's TV Service. I'm certainly not expecting VM to go toe-to-toe with Sky for content, but I am looking forward to being TiVoed.

Yes. That was rather eggscruciating. We've definitely had enoeuf. Now please do stop it or I shell not be responsible for the consequences :p:

FX is now free to size L customers.
I'm watching it now, no *Free till x date* has popped up.

Figured youd want some news besides Sky Arts HD launching.

Can anyone else on Size L confirm they have the channel too? I assume you do as I'm watching it so it must be nationwide.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Lets hope for more channels in the coming months.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Racing UK seems to be free at the moment, i'm only on M TV.

It isn't on Sky though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

FX is available to L-pack customers for the next month. Racing UK is free to all packs until Monday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

This is to update Media Boy and any others who was wondering...

I emailed Sky about WWE Tough Enough and got a reply:

Hi Matthew
Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to show WWE Tough Enough at this time and hopefully would be considered at some point in the future.

Thank you for your feedback and your comments have been passed to Sky Sports for there information.

Kind Regards

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

The pips are exclusive to the BBC and will not be contracting them out to VMTV, which is now Living TV Group, a separate company from VM anyway.
