Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

[QUOTE=Media Boy;35714478]Here is what has been confirmed from my insider:

August 12th 2014

Sky Sports 5 will launch on Virgin Channel 506.
Sky Sports 5 HD will launch on Virgin Channel 516.

Early 2015
Sky Sports News HD will launch on Virgin Channel 511.
Sky News HD will launch on Virgin Channel TBC.[COLOR="Silver"]

Do you think the news channels would have a little shuffle?

Just thinking about it, It would seem silly to have BBC News on 601, Sky News on 602, Sky News HD on 603 *If it was to be launched here* then BBC News HD on 604.

This would be better IMO:

Sky News - 601
Sky News HD - 602
BBC News - 603
BBC News HD - 604

That's good. If somebody is about to catch you watching Sky Sports News, simply press channel down to get to something less embarrassing. :)

Richard Timney (married to Jacqui Smith) will be happy today with Virgin Media.:D

Netflix bundled in?
More HD channels?
Any possibility of Sky 3D? I know not many people might be keen on this

I understand money and pricing could be a reason behind SA not coming, but would people really leave Sky for VM based on one channel offering? I'm amazed if this was the case....(I don't want to start a SA riot lol )

I would like a 3D channel liked the one we had with our brief time with Sky

I had it for the last few months of my time with Sky and it wasnt a bad channel. It was always one I flicked to see what was on. I've been away from Sky for a few years now, so I'm not sure what the content is like on there now.

Good point, does this means it will affect people within a certain Package, MB? ;)

I think Sky 3D days are numbers as DS Forum is reporting that Sky has now give Sky 3D new weekdays broadcasting hours.

That's a shame, they did have some good stuff on there.
What about the football, don't they broadcast that in 3D still?
