Nothing so clever - the company behind it went bust. NME found a new broadcasting partner.

What next to launch on Virgin Media?

I have been told to expect the launch of Comedy Central Extra +1, Russia Today and Quest +1 soon on Virgin TV.

Also Sky Sports News HD should be with Virgin Media by the end of the year.

Can someone please tell me why all the fuss about Sky Sports News HD?

For most of the day its just 2 people talking and loads of adverts. Don't get me wrong, I do watch SSN from time to time but mainly as background noise while doing something else.

Unless they are drastically changing the format then there is little point having it in HD

and also, we have just had a influx of 10+ more hd channels, and people just want more.... i think bar a few, we have the hd channels worth having.

i can only think of espn american, hallmark, history, with possibly another 1 or 2 that we dont have, and even they will probably be around sooner than later. of course we know sky 1 is coming along with bbc 1 ....

vm are not bothering with the pointless, luxe hd comes to mind.

I think its more for Sky to boast about having another HD channel, It does do a great screen burn on a plasma though.

Any channel that has a lot of text on display will be greatly enhanced by HD, so all the text will look nice and crisp and very clear. The same goes for News, some may moan whats the point but it looks very nice.
