Media Boy EXCLUSIVE:

I have tonight been told that Virgin have got ''6 more HD channels are in the pipeline''.

I have also been told that Sky content on demand should be added in the next 1/2 months as agreed with Sky.

i think the following :-

Sky 1 HD
Sky Sports News HD
Sky Arts HD
ESPNA HD
Hallmark HD
History HD or Nat Geo Wild HD

i cant decide between the last 2 as they have both been tested on VM at some point in the past. saying that i would gladly give up Sky Arts HD for both of the last 2 lol. plus there is another Sky Movies channel rumoured tyo be launching soon (Sky movies modern Classics HD ???) maybe that is included in the 6 new HD channels MB stated if so the free HD channels options gets cut down to 5.

Is this new information?

Quote:

The increase [in average customer spend] was helped by 259,000 customers upgrading to Virgin's high definition TV service, which will soon boast 26 HD channels, including Sky Sports 1 and 2, compared to just one a year ago.

Also this seems like good news

Quote:

Virgin says that 79.7 per cent of TV users are also HD+ subscribers, and 62.4 per cent opt for a triple-play bundle of TV, phone and broadband.
Can't be that many standard boxes floating around now then (EDIT: but I guess they may be in use as second boxes in homes)
