Yes it would be nice to have something coming soon , ah well we can hope.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

All MTV channels to receive the US logo and go widescreen and MTVNHD will rebrand as MTV Live HD

To see the logos you must view in Russian below

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

It's about time they went widescreen, especially for content on the main MTV channel where they don't actually show music videos anymore. I hope it applies to Viva as well

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

The logo's looks the same to me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I thought that but they are slightly different.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

It only mentions that the logo is going 16:9 not the content. I know it is implied but it seemed strange that they only mentioned the logo?

Also why rename MTVHD to MTVHD Live when it won't just play live stuff?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We'll have to see however I have read somewhere else about MTV going widescreen but I can't find it yet.

Found this about MTV Germany and France being widescreen so it would appear to be right about the UK channels going widescreen in the UK.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Well done to VM for the latest channel they provided for me. Without BBC Alba I wouldn't have been able to watch the Scottish Junior Cup Final today.

The excitement of the ideal final Barca V Man Utd followed the next day by Auchinleck V Musselburgh..... If Carlsberg did contrasts in footballing ability;)

Well done to Auchinleck Talbot 2-1 in extra time. :D

There is a serious point to this. In the 4 channel days of TV when the newspapers were suggesting the possibilities of hundreds of Channels available via satellite or cable, the picture that was painted was of many more localised channels being available. It hasn't really happened that way has it.:(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Glad you are enjoying your new channel:D We down here are still waiting for our next one:erm: Glad you got to see the match and I bet it was a good one:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

XXX Mums is coming on Wednesday (Information will be on Channel 484.):D
