Yep, remember this. Quite liked it when it was on the old analogue satellite Astra 1a, I think. I seem to recall though, that it was broadcast from Luxembourg or some place like that and it was a foreign owned station, despite the Sky moniker.

If it still exists, I doubt it will ever come to cable.

It also claimed that all programming on Discovery, Sci-Fi, E4, ITV1 etc was also available in HD. Really? So putting aside the fact that many Virgin customers don't even get the new HD channels, you're now claiming an upscale is HD?

Virgin's PR BS machine still working overtime.

It was broadcast from Holland, I think it's still broadcasting on FM in Holland, it's unlikely it will be carried by VM

If you haven't got them now, then you will in a max of 5 weeks.

I hope so, although I'll take that with the proverbial pinch of salt. Virgin have bungled HD for so long now I struggle to believe they'll ever do anything well.

I can't honestly say I'd be surprised if I didn't see the new HD channels until closer to the end of the year.

As VM have said they are going to continue to upgrade the UI on the current boxes then I am glad because it really needs a new look and feel to it now. I was massively disappointed when we lost the blue ntl: EPG cause it lost functionality and overall it was better designed. We shall have to wait and see what the offering might be when they do change them.
