You'd think so.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

They're here in Telewest land!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Mine i just come on in Ex-Telewest area

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

they are showing in my tv guide but are greyed out and says im not subscribed even though i am on tv xl package, anyone else got this problem

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Live in my area but no film.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

They are live here (Colchester) but MTVHD and NGHD only show up in the HD section of the EPG not in the general EPG (IE MTV doesent come up under Music and NGHD doesent come up under Factual).

Minior problem and I am sure it will settle down.

Well done VM

I slept through the big event or at least forgot to check the status when I got up just before 07:00 but they are there even though I can't use them.

Saw your posting regarding more to come in August, September and by the end of the year. Looking good for getting C4 HD, History HD, EuroSport HD and Living HD as well as mouth-watering images of Good Food HD.

Not wishing to start a speculation frenzy but there could be room for a couple more by year end. When the ITV HD exclusivity deal expires it will make for a reasonable starter set of HD channels. Then the network-wide elimination of analogue and eventual rollout of IPTV should make for an interesting 2010.

I wonder when the news channels (e.g. BBC News, Sky News, CNN) might go HD. I'm not suggesting that it will be soon. More likely after analogue switchover in 2012. Just a thought.

But we must be patient and show restraint!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

ESPN will probably have the following channel numbers.

ESPN Channel 529
ESPN HD Channel 530
ESPN Classic Channel 533

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Im on the XL TV package and whenever I goto the new HD channels I get a message saying you have not subscribed to these channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

It certainly shouldn't be doing that - what have faults said?

We have 2 boxes a normal v box and a v+ box. The message will appear on the v box? dont know if this is your problem

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Thats what I was going to say - but the HD channels shouldn't even appear in the EPG on a V box. BBC HD certainly doesn't
