Base on past Sky Sports HD Channel launches we may see them moving before Virgin launch the new ones.

Well Sky and Virgin sign an deal back in June 2010 to carry Sky Basic HD Channels and Sky1 HD did not launch until October 2010 and Sky Art HD Channels did not launch until April 2011.

Will Sky1 +1 and Pick +1 also launch?

And the thaw in the VM-Sky relationship continues. Money always talks, and Sky need the money.

I've noticed that the old direct Sky feed to VM customers seems to be back as well, if the targeted advertising to VM customers on SSN is any indication. I recall that feed was pulled during The Sky Basics War when Sky were appealing to VM directly to dump Cable and join Sky.

Here's a question: Will SSN HD be available to customers not taking premium Sky Sports channels? Considering SSN SD is available to all on XL?

Virgin media are sending people to the following page for info on this nothing on the customer news page at the moment

A five-year content deal with Sky, will see Virgin Media add five new high definition channels to its offer.

According to The Times, the deal will see all of Sky's channels, other than Sky Atalantic, broadcast to customers of rival cable provider Virgin Media, as the pair up the ante in the war against BT.

Jeremy Darroch, CEO of Sky, said: “This agreement builds on our long-standing relationship with Virgin Media, enabling us to deliver our great channels to even more homes across the UK and opening up additional sources of revenue.” Tom Mockridge, chief executive of Virgin Media, described the deal as the “most extensive agreement ever signed between Virgin Media and Sky."

Virgin Media customers will be able to watch channels such as Sky Sports 3 and 4, Sky Sports News and Sky News as well, through their TVs, smartphones and tablets.

Sky Sports News goes under Sky Basic so Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD will both join packages.
