The HD channel is way better than the upscaled SD channel.

The Sky SD channels are also terrible on Virgin -- they only became watchable with the welcome advent of Sky1 HD.

Well done Virgin :handshake

Your post recently stated Rush HD was coming soon and ESPN A HD was arriving that was on the 1/09/2010. And Itv2 HD isn't a priority yet Rush HD is mmmm interesting. :D

That's fine if its true I think you may find that Virgin dont launch Rush HD before ITV HD channels and if they do I'll want to know why LOL :) Next you'll be telling us Luxe HD is a priority over BBC 1 HD LOL .
