I think we will not see any new channels on Virgin until after Olympics so Virgin can reuse all the channels left over from the BBC Olympics Channels all in SD and HD plus Eurosport 3D that are all coming in July and early August for the Olympics.

Maybe Virgin have got deals done for launch after Olympics or they are signing deals with broadcasters right now for all we know.

Sony have said that they want to concentrate their resources on Sky and VM, so I would say their is a good chance of it appearing at some point, subject to negotiations acceptable to both parties.
