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

Virgin should have just said nothing about news channel coming would of be easier that way. to wait like 7+months for the channel seems a bit long to me when virgin say it will follow others channels launch but it's months away.

Google is better :p:

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

i dont believe they have actually said its coming, it remains speculation but logical after the agreement of missing premium HD to get remaining basic HD outstanding like SSN and SN

And this forum would be blazing with rage at the lack of information.....

Considering we have the unexpected bonus of all Sky Sports' main channels in HD I think VM have played a blinder here....

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

they confirmed it same time as they confirmed sports 3+4 HD was coming said at a later date but looks like 2015 now

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

Yes it is. I replied to post #331, which suggested putting SS1HD on 511. I explained why that wouldn't work.

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

That is a later date, coming soon(Virgin speak).:)

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

Forgive me but I would have thought having a sensible numbering system would outweigh the problems people without HD or SS channels have.

The numbering system we now have in ridiculous. It's not insurmountable as we will all get used to it but it looks and 'feels' stupid.

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

The channels are far more important than the numbering.

Surely?

Am celebrating VM today!

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

Indeed so and have said as much. It's a niggle, that's all. I'm sure there's a very good official reason why the numbers had to be so.... I'd love to hear it.

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

I'm not following you at all here. This is nothing to do with HD, but basic common sense. Do you really think that having Sky Sports News in front on the main sports channels will entice people to subscribe to sports, or entice people to pay an extra £7 for sports in HD? If people want sports and want it in HD, they'll pay for it regardless of the position of Sky Sports News.

Of course having a choice to watch something is far better than not having a choice if the channels are not available. But this is a long running thing with VM and its predecessors...

VM don't seem to understand that having a logical order for channels, aides useabilty and makes the service easier to use. If they did, they might actually get a lot more tv customers, rather than it being flat growth for years and allowing a new competitor like BT to park their tanks on VM's (tv) lawn.

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

goodness did they really?,(edit: have since checked and yes my apologies) does seem long time to wait over half a year

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

Right so now we have Sky Sports 3 & 4 in HD the moan now seems to be the channel numbers not being logical? Guys... DOES IT REALLY MATTER ONE IOTA?
Personally I wont be getting them in HD so long as the 7 quid charge remains but that`s just me.
