Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

ESPN Classic is now broadcasting.

ESPN HD still has no EPG data, just says 'No programme information'.

If the news about the Asian channels is true, then the XL just keeps going from strength to strength. This will give Sky some serious competition, as the price of Asian channels on Virgin was always too high.

ESPN Classic is not broadcasting on Ex-Telewest - yet.

Tried that but they keep telling me that the channels aren't live yet, but I know fine well they are :td:

Very strange!
Try reporting the fault through the newsgroup, they are very helpful on there.

As EBD said, v+ does not need to be in HDMI mode. I am using my old 28" CRT and can access all HD channels abeit in SD mode.

If ringing CS is not working for you (I cant quite believe they keep telling you they havent launched, so think you have only rung once or twice) try getting it sorted through the newsgroups ;)

It will definately give some serious competition to Sky as they only offer the Star pack of channels in their top package where as Virgin will offer all the Asian channels they have in their top package.

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: Virgin to axe ''The Asian Package'' soon.

I have been told that Virgin Media has got plans in the wind to axe The Asian Package and will be inclusive with the XL package over the next few months.

But here is the right information:

Virgin is considering getting the asian package (Â£24) inclusively on XL package without any extra charges.

And will join over the next few months if Virgin goes ahead with it.

Media Boy: Sorry for not giving out the right information the first time I mis-read it.

I really hope so as I was looking at the asian channels yesterday as the wife like to watch Zee and she expressed a interest in the Â£24 package.
