I saw the pilot of Sleepy Hollow on Hulu and it really does deserve an HD picture and 5.1 soundtrack to do it justice.

Hopefully these new type of shows will bring in a bigger audience and make HD viable for VM management.

Agree with this i just watched Sleepy Hollow on FOX player ant it defo deserves hd and 5.1.

Agreed. When I subscribed to Lovefilm, it was available on my Sony 370 blueray player. Not only was there content missing, but the interface was slow and clunky.


I hope they incorporate 5.1 into the Tivo app; surely the fact that Netflix has 5.1 should spur them on to add it and a new app would be the opportune time. Not holding my breath though.

My guess is someone will say a channel is launching, Thursday will pass and nothing will happen.

The following week, repeat.

Eventually someone is going to be right but until VM say "this channel is launching then I won't believe a word of it".

If you want it out the horses mouth, they have a thread on their own forums, this thread is for speculation generally, which you just outlined.

If someone on here says a channel is launching it does,if someone on here says rumoured not confirmed and testing means it might or it's on its way.And usually the channel as launched before vm actually announce it.:confused:

Spot on mate which is why i only pm a very select couple of people , i get my info from sources and all i can do is relay what i've been told. Wether or not it's true i have no idea but as you know some of my info was inline with other info not mentioned yet on these forums.
Some people here don't seem to understand the difference between rumour and, when we say "so and so channel is rumoured to launch this week" they seem to forget to read "rumoured" and take it as fact lol.
There are only 2 people who i pm on here i don't know Den well enough yet lol but he seems trustworthy so if he wants in then that's fine i don't mind pming him info too.

Media Boy updates all the rumours.

-As far as I'm aware all the UPC HD Channels are still launching - may launch before October*.
-I suspect FOX+ may launch this week though but I'm only speculating on that*.
-I am also hearing rumours that More4 HD may launch this week*.

*ALL INFORMATION ON THIS POST IS JUST RUMOURS AND HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY ANY INSIDERS.

Same here, it seems to be that Virgin are launching at least 1 channel a month this year (excluding July), so we have either had our +1's at the start, or we have to wait till october!

I'm a rascal but feel free to send me any info you may have...i get a lot of nice compliments on the forum such as

"a lovely man, a lovely face"
"he brings sunshine into our lives like the morning sun"
"i've never known such a delightful specimen of humanity"
"i wish i could hug him, one day i will"

At least thats how I read it, again no disrespect to Technix who on the whole has a good accuracy on his postings but he got this one wrong which he has admitted to so kudos to that.

I think the correct post to read regarding this would be #670, where Technix suggests that it was based on a hunch.. not quite the same as "made up".

Wishful thinking a lot of the time perhaps.. It is amazing how quickly a rumour can turn into a claim that some re-quoted information actually came from within Virgin Media. More often than not, a quick check of the original comment will prove that the source wasn't VM at all.

I don't take these things too literally, perhaps it just means that 141 will be used as More4 HD is added. I would think that there would be a reshuffle of existing channels as it was added, to give a more logical order.

What next Sky1 HD moving to Channel 119?
Aha! now that you mention it, it would also make sense to move Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD to 119/120 if Sky Atlantic is added. Keeping the main channels in the most prominent positions on the EPG.

Well in his original post when he said it was coming he didn't exactly suggest it was a "hunch" either

Anyway splitting hairs here end of the day whether it was made up, guess or hunch it unfortunately appears Expectation of universal Hd imminent arrival attributed to the original poster from DS appears to be false (as Howard has kindly shared on here before with universal response)

Cheers bud,hopefully there will be a change of stance with universal regards the hd channel and vm with all there new program's.bear in mind my last response was in July from both universal and vm,but looking at the post the other day someone posted with universal response it looks like all there giving is a standard response.i prefer it to sky Atlantic I currently record more universal hd program's than Atlantic ;)

Not really splitting hairs, saying that it was made up is suggesting that it was a deliberate attempt to mislead people. There are many comments based on hunches and guesswork on coming soon threads, it's not that unusual. Ultimately the only word we can totally depend on is that of VM but as they don't generally announce anything in advance, we have coming soon threads instead. :p:

There's certainly a lot of good programmes on Universal at the moment, they appear to have upped their game. It would, indeed, be nice to be able to watch them in HD on VM.

This is getting crazy,there is no list,just a few peeps choosing to pm each other about rumoured channel launches,when anything is confirmed mb will post it.you really can't win with some people on here.not ment at you bud but some moan at rumours being posted and nothing happens now peeps are moaning that rumours are not being posted.
Seriously nobody is missing out on anything and I'm pretty confident mb wil confirm some channel launches soon ;)

The reason some people PM each other with rumours they've heard is because so many people on here now take rumours as fact and kick up a stink when nothing happens.

I think most of the usual posters on here know the wheat from the chaff.

I`m pretty sure that if someone was getting undeserved stick, there are plenty decent peeps on here that would quickly rally to their cause..

DS Forums are a vicious lot. Me and I think Howard got jumped on this weekend for defending MB or "Meeja Boy" as they call him over there...
