I watch the F1 Qualifying last Saturday live and it was very good
Plus there are separate apps for Demand 5 & 4oD which work well

Cheers bud, but what about Sky sports /movies, Dave, History, Disney. :erm:

Updates on more Sky Channel launching on Virgin Media.

No deal has been signed yet but I have been told 'regular active talks with Sky' are ongoing.

Reminds me of those regular active talks with BT the day before it arrived in XL. If that was the truth, they sure got Peter Crouch in and filmed, edited, and signed off an advert pretty quickly.

True but we have only seen rumours (started by Asian Channel - who has not been seen since) of only Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD testing on Virgin Media.

All four BT Sports channels was testing on Virgin for about two weeks before hand that why Virgin put them on right away after the deal was signed.

Watch the ad again. The only references to BT are in the voiceover and the small print. It could still have been used if the BT deal hadn't been done.

I've only seen info from VM viewers that said the rest of Sky Sports HD Channels, Sky 3D and Sky Atlantic channels are coming soon.

Still not confirmed as of yet from my insiders.

The north get things first when appropriate. Here are some major northern firsts:
Digital TV - Manchester
VOD - Glasgow
NGTV - York, then Leeds

They must have left us off the map then because we never get any trials down here.
