It should before or just after the LSE opens ? As it will benefit the stock holders ?

I can't help thinking people are building themselves up for a disappointment here. Where is the source for this belief that there will be something big announced tomorrow?

Considering this price, the target market would be very small, and Virgin are best to expand in HD and other services that have a larger target market as HD TVs are affordable to a lot more people than 3D.

:)

Also as posted before VM could beat SKY as offering 3D ON DEMAND and i havent been able to find the link again

I was being sarcastic. I don't have my hopes up, nobody knows what they'll announce tomorrow (except insiders).

Also for people without the new 3D, they could offer some older 3D like in the 3D Festival.

I guess they can say "We have in fact got 3D" lol

I have to admit, having just shelled out on a new HDTV, (and given the current recession), both myself and others are very unlikely to shell out further cash on a 3DTV.

I guess Arthur has to find something else to moan about now Virgin brought out all the HD channels.... :)

its the insiders on these forums who have said that there will be an announcement on Monday.

i dont think it will be anything official but more likely that the embargo on the information will be lifted on Monday so the insiders can say something about whats going on.

Oh sorry. It wasn't just you though. There seems to be an expectation of something big tomorrow whereas I can't see any proof of that. I will believe it when I see it.

Yes but all we seem to know so far is there is probably a couple of +1 channels coming. I hope is is something exiting but I'm not building my hopes up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

isn't the Analogue Switch-Off pretty much complete?

That surely frees up quite a bit of room for quite a few new channels...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

My guess is ITV HD and the + 1channels. I am certainly predicting a HD channel. Just to keep us sweet, lol. Then again in another world, I wish it was the settlement of the pay tv saga, lol. (Queue abuse)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

I don't think we'll hear about ITV HD tomorrow, seeing as it's not even a standalone channel yet. I think we'll be looking at either E4 HD or Eurosport HD.
