Remember it only an rumour I was told of yesterday and has not been confirmed yet by any insiders.

I was only told of the ones I posted as maybe launching soon.

I can now reveal that the following channels will launch before Christmas on Virgin Media:

Channel to launch Tomorrow (October 10th):
-FOX + to launch on Virgin Channel 199.

Channel to launch next Week (by October 18th):
-News 18 to launch on Virgin Media.

Channels to launch on December 10th:
-BBC Four HD* to launch on Virgin Media.
-BBC News HD* to launch on Virgin Media.
-BBC Three HD* to launch on Virgin Media.
-CBBC HD* to launch on Virgin Media.
-CBeebies HD* to launch on Virgin Media.

*Launch date may change.

NOTE: I do not work for Virgin Media so all the information on this post is still subject to change.

Good news about the BBC programmes in HD. There is a surprising amount of good stuff on BBC Four like The Killing and The Bridge and even the odd programme like Orphan Black on BBC Three worth recording. At this rate we might need a 2 TB TiVo box.

-I am hearing that Sky Sports News HD, Sky1 +1, Sky Atlantic and Sky News HD may launch within the next two weeks.
If Sky Atlantic arrives as well, make that a 3 TB box.

Update.

I have not forget to post an channel number for News 18 - no channel number was confirmed to me today.

I really do think it will launch on Virgin Channel 626 or 833.

I would accept Sky Atlantic in SD only, nice to have HD but if that is the compromise to do a deal wth Sky that will be enough for me.

Access to content as part of my XL package is the issue for me, getting HD is a bonus.

But still rumours for now and no insider confirmation (too far off?) so will really belive it when I see it on the EPG!

Well, to be fair it was announced but didn't expect it this year.

It just gets better and better for us Virgin customers.:)

Great updates as per usual MB.

TNA on demand is interesting and Fox+ will be very handy for me but Atlantic is the channel I really want so hopefully it will launch aswell.

TNA on demand? the wrestling promotion??? Why? Is this classic episodes or something??? Seems intriguing anyway...

MB- great updates as per usual. You say the rumour is within 2 weeks? is this timescale from an insider??? Be legendary if it happens but i wont get too excited just yet!

Still to get info confirmed by any insiders - the info on Sky Channels is base on info from an Virgin Viewer.
