I'm not sure what the point of a HD Sports News channel is though. They only show clips and mostly studio shots with presenters. :confused:

I'd imagine that Sky will keep it exclusive for a bit... they must feel under attack at the moment! :D

Ad in the Mirror this morning by Sky, suggests that the only way to get HD Sky Sports News will be to go with Sky. The ad is in the Sport section and has pizza as the prop and shows Virgin having two pieces and Sky having five - each piece = a HD channel

There is no official or internal information on anything yet but he said there could be one way to get away with the TIVO box charge and that would be to upgrade to VIP.

With work already starting on improved VIP package which we should start to hear something on within the next 2-3 months the improved package could be inline with the release of TIVO which was always predicted Nov this year.

So watch this space.

Got to laugh,When they were selling the VMTV to sky it was stated the relations between the two company`s were better and the enemy was freeview.First they had a dig at BT with pint glasses and now pizza slices with VM,It looks like the honeymoon period is over lol

I think it's just good competition... they do have a common enemy in Freeview and Freesat, so in thoses areas will work "together".

They will never be bedfellows, but at least they seem to have dialogue :D

Will Premier Sports ever turn up on VM? It would be a welcome addition for me, but i must admit i would not pay extra for it

Is that a new channel?

Cheers.

Looks like it will be £6.99 a month later this year... So if it was added, then you'd have to pay.

I couldn't see VM adding it to XL, It's too much of a niche channel. i'm sure some customers would sub to it though. :)

Am I mistaken or has the sky sports HD channels moved up one figure on the EPG, I thought they were on 516/517 and now they are 517/518, making room for sky sports news pehaps.
