Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

All i've been told is Summer 2014 for new channels, i wonder if VM are going to launch a big batch in one go?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Well Sky give Sky1 +1 to some Virgin Media Viewers right now - in Smallworld areas.

So may not be class as 'New Channel'.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

The confirmation they are coming is fine by me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I wish they'd stop it Nick. I am absolutely knackered from all this staying up all night.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

When will Sky new channels launch on Virgin Media?

Q: WILL WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO GET MORE SKY SPORTS HD CHANNELS ON VIRGIN MEDIA?
A: Well both Sky Sports 1 HD and Sky Sports 2 HD did launch on August 2nd 2010.

Q: WHERE WILL THEY BROADCAST?
A: As of May 12th no confirmed news. See my blog for my views: http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...ike-major.html

Q: WHEN WILL SKY SPORTS HD AND SKY NEWS HD LAUNCH?
A: Again no confirmed news but base on past Sky Basic HD channel launches we may not get them until April 2015.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

April 2015 is way too late. I'm going to presume they'll launch in the next month or two.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Don't understand the virgin strategy if it were to be 2 months away or next year, people will be phoning and virgin would say you well get them in a few weeks, months, years. seems mad to me

very soon must be two weeks max....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

lets hope so doug p

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Vm's definition of coming soon is usually very different to what normal folk call soon, probably will be august.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I've just got into work and i'm here till 8pm and this is most depressing news to be greeted with. we'll be waiting a year possibly for sky sport news hd and sky news hd!? This is depressing.... Maybe we should just close this coming soon to VM thread down and create the "coming soon to VM tv (2015)" thread.

I wonder why they're holding the sports HD channels off till august? I'd understand if its sky sports 1/2 HD as they have the football? But 3 and 4 HD dont have any football on them??? Start of the football season makes no difference?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

The tweet says "very soon" not "coming soon"....

Therefore it will be soon.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Very soon means a very long time in VMs world :p: my source says defo before the new football season.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Don't get too depressed, Vince, there has been no indication I have seen that the Sky Basics HD channels now confirmed as coming will be delayed until next year.

However, I would also like to point out to everyone that dates for new starts on here may be correct at time of posting, but they can change for all sorts of reasons, including for technical reasons. Having said that, and leaving our more respected posters aside, some of the dates given are really pure speculation. I have no idea where the 2015 date comes from.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

To be honest, until Virgin confirm exactly when the extra basic HD channels are coming, it's all speculation. It could be next month, but it could indeed be 2015.
