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

I find it odd that people complain about VM not having all the channels that Sky have but when one gets released they ridicule it for not being a channel they watch. Well guess what, people watch Colors TV, A LOT of people watch it (Unlike Sky Atlantic ;)).

Hope everybody enjoys colors TV instead of Sky Atlantic LOL :D

I'm hoping for more HD channels announced this week but not holding my breath. Could just be Sky Arts HD.

VM are having a press event tomorrow aren't they ? So it would seem a good time to say O and as well as TIVO we are launching some more HD content at no extra cost to XL customers ;)

If Gemstar had won, then VM would have had to pay them for Patent infringement.
