Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. I

Does this mean that we all could see our sports pack go down in price?

I am on the VIP pack paying Â£96.50 month so could this go down then they sort out everything?

Hi everyone, rather than go into the sport section which appears to be seldomley visited I'd though I would ask this one-off question here;

Does anyone know if the BBC plan to transmit the World Snooker Tournament in HD this year? . . I know Eurosport are, but I do prefer the commentry on the BBC.

VMT

P.S. i know this is off topic, but, it is a one-off :)

We don't really appreciate off-topic posts here - your question would be just as valid in the 'Alternatives to VM' or 'Lifestyle' sections, please post it in either, thanks.

Sky have appealed the decision by OFCOM and as we will have a more friendly Sky goverment soon I don't expect any changes soon

We've been NGTV here in Aylesbury for several weeks now but the consolidation of ex-Telewest and ex-NTL services is not yet complete. We're still waiting for the following:-

917. Radio: RTE Radio
920. Radio: WRN Europe

Are these 'coming soon' or will they be dropped from ex-Telewest instead?

I have no news on any of the channels listed in this post.

Food Network HD is coming to Freesat at the beginning of may: http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/index.p...ing-to-freesat

wonder if virgin will manage to get this. I can't say it would be much of a gain tbh.

That was already discussed a page or two ago.

My wife loves cooking shows and channels, and sometimes I secretly watch huddled away in the corner on my PC, would be nice to see all that amazing looking food in HD. Now if only they could do something with technology that allowed you to be able to taste it as well.
