Just saying what i think.

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

Sorry, but this is completely wrong..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_HD

On 6 October 2011 following the BBC's Delivering Quality First review, it was proposed that BBC HD will be closed and replaced with a single high definition version of BBC Two in 2012, as part of cost-cutting plans.The cuts won't be implemented until after a consultation by the BBC Trust, which runs until 21 December 2011.

So....how many HD channels will the BBC have in any 1 region?

BBC 1 HD, BBC 2 HD, and.......?

Can anyone provide a list beyond those BBC HD channels? (And no, I don't mean regional variations) And where in that Wiki article does it state there's going to be more than 1 BBC HD channel? Not that Wiki should be trusted anyway.

Two Beebs or not two Beebs? That is the question.

My understanding of the situation is ...

• BBC HD is to close. It was a compendium of HD content from other BBC channels but never a simulcast of any one BBC channel. It was a stop-gap measure until HD versions of the primary channels could be accommodated and launched on all platforms.
• BBC Two HD is to launch as a HD simulcast of BBC Two. It is therefore a new channel but with the same content as its SD counterpart (apart from regional variations on some platforms) just as is the case with BBC One.
• Some of the original programming on BBC One and BBC Two is to be replaced by content from other BBC channels. This will apply to both the SD and HD versions of BBC One and BBC Two.
• BBC Two HD is not simply a renaming of BBC HD as the content will differ significantly from that of BBC HD but be the same as that of BBC Two SD.

Premier Sports coming soon?

Someone on the Premier sports Facebook page has posted a copy of the following reply they received from Virgin in regards to Premier Sports launching.

"Many thanks for your e-mail.

I am responsible for the content proposition for sports and Premium channel offerings at Virgin Media. I appreciate hearing your views on Premier Sports and your interest in having this channel available on Virgin Media. I agree with you in that Premier Sports provides some great coverage of live sporting events and it is evolving into an impressive channel, I am pleased to say that we are in fairly advanced negotiations with Premier Sports and we really hope to launch this channel in the coming months, I’m afraid I don’t have a set date at the moment but if you keep an eye on our website we will keep it updated with launch news.

We do constantly review and evolve the channels we make available and try very hard to give everyone something they really want so it's really useful to hear comments from customers like you. This really helps us develop our future thinking and product roadmap.

Kind regards Emma

Emma Jones - General Manager
Future Entertainment"

I'm very dubious as to how accurate this e-mail is. How likely is it for a Virgin employee to make the following statement? "We are in fairly advanced negotiations with Premier Sports and we really hope to launch this channel in the coming months."
