too true

ps like your tagline

similar to

My opinion is always right! Its my opinion so can't be wrong only different from others

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Whoever updated the site to add the new information forgot to edit the existing text detailing the EPL/SPL coverage, which was written when the only confirmed carrier was Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

That's also how i read it, the website yesterday only had the top two EPL and SPL boxes on it.

I would imagine that the website is driven by a database of sorts and so may not be 100% clear when updating information on the server side.

The extra football boxes were added some point this afternoon, after the Virgin deal was announced by Virgin (ESPN America announced this deal a few days ago) and have included the Virgin information.

Never know a forum to get their knickers in so much of twist.

Stuff tv thinks we are getting premier football in HD. I dont know if that counts for anything though.

Edit: and from broadcast now:- Virgin Media is to carry ESPN’s standard and HD channels in time for the upcoming Premier League season. ESPN and ESPN HD, which will screen 46 Premier League matches in the 2009-10 season, will be made available at no extra cost to XL customers, along with ESPN Classic

Well lets hope the boro vs newcastle matches get picked up by the bbc then ;)

Ah disappointing but thanks for the info :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Well i'm convinced now we will have PL HD... great stuff.... i dont even like footie its just the principle of the thing... LOL

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Wouldn't it be funny if sky blocked the HD premier league games to virgin as part of an agreement to provide the HD coverage for ESPN

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I think you will be fine - when Virgin rename and move GOLD (Was UKTV Gold) all the things I set to tape on my V+ Box did tape. Virgin even rename the channels names on my list of things to tape.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Wouldn't exactly help Sky with the OFCOM review though

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Seriously? That's some great news you've found there!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Well Mobes you certainly set the cat among the pigeons with that eagle eyed post:)
As I see it everything on VM's sites indicates we'll have the EPL and SPL in HD, so I'm pretty confident, I honestly can't see VM taking on a HD sports channel that doesn't let its own viewers watch the best content of the channel in HD.
If that were the case I'm sure to avoid flak they would've just signed the SD version, having said that I'll be mighty pleased when either Ben or Media Boy allay our fears tomorrow with a good news post.

Yes that would be bloody hilarious.:shrug:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

thanks for that my daughter would kill me if we we missed it as i said i would take her to the match then relised we are away when its on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I found those within a couple of seconds of googling it. Why did none of us think to do that earlier? ;)

Of course those sources could be reading to much into the VM press release as well. :erm:

I doubt it though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

The deal was only done yesterday,So espn have not updated there website yet.FXHD web site says only coming soon to vm and that starts tomorrow,Think these rumours are being started by sky hd folk who have to pay £9 for the privilege lol.
