Fingers crossed you get a good update bud ;) one wonders if we're gonna see sky sports news hd and Disney hd this week at least :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Can anyone tell me what fox+ is?? i thought you were all referring to fox+1...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

l am sure that's what they are referring too Vince.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

FOX called their +1 Channel FOX +.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

I thought Horror +1 was a nightmare other half.... ;-)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Ah. Why on earth do they do that?! That's just confusing!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

That may have been their practice recently, Media Boy, but I shouldn't think that there are any technical limitations. Back in the NTL days, we received all the new Sky Movies channels at once and more recently, when the Sky basics were returned, I am sure these all came back at the same time, together with the Sky Arts channels that we did not have before.

I am braced now for all the missing Sky channels to be launched on Virgin Media pretty soon now and I think they will all arrive together.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Is that code for saying Sky Atlantic is about to launch???

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

BomberAF started that rumour in August that says that Sky Atlantic may launch by Saturday.

Still not confirmed by any insiders I know.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

So why does Sky Atlantic not feature on the list of channels we don't have that broadcast in the uk? I confess to not understanding that part of your September update.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Due to WRN Radio and RTE Radio launching in old NTL areas last Thursday I have now added the list of channels that only broadcast on Virgin Media big brother UPC Ireland network.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

I think we'll see one or two channels this week ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Has that been confirmed "behind the scenes" via PM between Cables Forums usual suspects? ;)

It's the Forum behind the Forum where all the good gossip and info is. All the juicy info is shared via PM between a chosen few. I know because sometimes I'm in and about the info too :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Not been confirmed.
