Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

I'm all for new channels coming to Virgin but CBS Drama doesn't float my boat. I didn't like Moonlighting, Falcon Crest, Dynasty or Dallas when they first hit our screens almost 30 years ago:shocked: Nostalgia is great but I'm really a big fan of fresh, new programming.

Well l like new and old but everybody to their own taste Chad.

I agree i dot think there is no need for GOLD HD. YEs more HD channels would be greate but why create a HD channel where only about 5-10% of it will be actaull HD. Seems a waste of bandwith and that could be used for better HD channels :)

ESPN have lauched a news video app on TiVo. It can be accessed by pressing 'Red' on ESPN SD

Do HD channels use the same amount of bandwidth, even when they aren't broadcasting in HD :confused:

HD channels always broadcast in HD.

If the show isn't a HD show it is upscaled as being shown on a HD channel.
