Then again I suppose it's down to personal taste, lots of people on here really want ESPNA HD but in reality its weekly reach for the SD channel is miniscule, I would guess it's only available on Sky because of their different pricing model.

Eden HD PQ is fantastic and the content shows HD off.

Some good programmes... I've got South Pacific and Yellowstone on Blu-ray and they are stunning :)

As ever it depends on the material but overall the PQ has been as good as Discovery, to my eye anyway.

Of course unlike Discovery HD it is a direct simulcast of the SD channel though so isn't 100% native.

Thanks mate, though about to be shut down by Virgin Media staff mafia and the mods on here. Seems as though is no freedom of speech on here and Virgin staff hiding behind their user names can say what they want to customers as long as they put a disclaimer on their profiles.

Can't be bothered trawling through all the pages since I was last on, but am I right to take it that virgin didn't launch any channels today? Beyond parody!! Joke as a evolving tv provider!

Past experience suggested it was very unlikely anything would happen on a Wednesday, and on the 30th of the month.

Have heard it's difficult to launch any channels of note if it's a bit rainy, maybe that explains nothing in the last 6 months. Ah well maybe the summer:rolleyes:

To be fair, it was rumours on here, not a official VM announcement :)

The rumour channel launches today was given to me last weekend by an Virgin Media viewer.

Anyone who thinks that somethings going to launch on Virgin Media this Friday will be wrong trust me...

Spoiler: 
April fools day. ;)
