Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

The Premier League is thought to be anxious to sort out the broadcast rights hiatus speedily, because it intends to start marketing in the spring for the next instalment of its three-year rights packages.

Could we see live 3pm games on Sky ?

Gone are the days of the 3pm games as Sky and Espn like to televise games at the times that will give them the biggest TV audience.

In some in-house adverts Comedy Central are saying 'on VM channel 136' instead of 132.....

No, they like to televise them when it is legal for them to do so. The can't show 3pms due to the tv blackout on football to protect the lower leagues. Nothing to do with audience figures at all.

News to me - Look like an error on Comedy Central part.

Let wait and see what happen when they noted this.

It appears that Sky Classic Movies HD will be available for M+ package subscribers. I checked last night and again just now, and unlike non-package channels which are grayed out in TiVo's EPG this one is red like the regulars, and of course shows the first movie as being Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as previously indicated. I've set it to record so if it does, very nice, an extra HD movie channel at no extra cost. :D

Actually I notice Double Indemnity is on later that day (Tues 4th), it's a classic, maybe I should set it up to record that instead. ;)
