Yes Clubland TV would be great - could rival MTV Dance on VM

However, VM axed the Scuzz, Flaunt etc. channels in favour of their Music on Demand service so bringing more music channels on the scene is a bit unlikely

I wouldn't be suprised if they're holding back a few announcements until the NGTV roll out is out of the way, so they can avoid the issues they've had this time around.

That shouldn't stop them making annoucements for July, Aug and Sept which is when Film4 HD is likely due and NGTV complete.

I'd like to see -

Five HD
Hallmark HD
Nat Geo Wild HD
History HD

That then gives them all the major UK non-Sky doc & entertainment HD channels.

Am saying sorry now. Sorry for not reading 163 pages.

But is there any word on HD sports/film channels?


Thanks.

As much as I love Music on Demand it does not have much Clubland in their and I would love a clubland channel or for Virgin Media to get rights to have most of the music in music on demand.
