We've not been told of any channel drops.

Plus More4 HD, TCM HD, Alibi HD and Racing UK HD Launching over the next few years

So Virgin could get up to 65 HD channels (27 more HD Channels)

and I recall reading that a HD version of QVC is 'coming soon.'

Looks like Boxnation will be launching either on the 30th of November / 01st of December just in time for Cotto Vs. Margarito II. This page on their website was just updated today.

http://www.boxnation.tv/subscribe.php

"By registering now, you’re not committing to anything. You will simply receive news from BoxNation and information on how to subscribe to the channel ahead of the subscription service’s launch on the first of December.

Sky customers will soon be able to subscribe and pay for the channel through this site, while Virgin Media customers should contact Virgin directly (we expect to be live on Virgin Media cable within two weeks)."

Cool MB.

A quick question for a Virgin insider.

Seeing Boxnation are claiming you have to contact Virgin to subscribe, how far ahead of the channel launching would employees in the relevant department receive their training and info to help them field the calls?

Depends on when the agreement is finalised I think. For some channel launches there has been some notification, for others it's the day of launch

As adding new channels that require a subscription isn't anything new - I would guess that an hour or two would be plenty of time for CS to be prepared.
