No, I have just copied and pasted from the first page as already noted by others.. The 20-30hd channels was discussed by Neil Beckett. The info ref Sky HD channels has been there since 2009. I have no source as I have just taken it from page 1. My apologies to all. I should have quoted it.

To be fair, people who read the first page would be well aware that the info come form there, and even the post above your original post had the words see first post. The confusion arises when people are not reading all posts.

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: Virgin to update EPG in LUTON, NOTTINGHAM and LEICESTER this week.

-In the early hours of Tuesday the 9th Feb Virgin will be making some changes to the network in the Luton Region.

-In the early hours of Wednesday the 10th Feb Virgin will be making some changes to the network in the Nottingham Region.

-In the early hours of Thursday the 11th Feb Virgin will be making some changes to the network in the Leicester Region.

*Customers within these areas may see some impact but, due to the time that the work is being carried out, most customers will be unaware that anything has changed.

Luton channel BBC1 Anglia will as a result of this change now display it"s correct name of BBC1 Cambridge.

Nottingham existing channel BBC1 North will now display as BBC1 Yorks & Lincs

All 3 regions will have access to BBC Radio London 94.9 and BBC Radio 4 LW after the upgrade.

Any news for stoke on trent yet?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No news yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

What do you mean when you say EPG update, do you mean:

1. changing names of channels (that need it)

2. different layout/style

3. Faster for V+ and PACE boxes

4. New additions to the Virgin Media EPG/Guide (like new features)

Thanks. :erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Virgin are re-Rebrand some BBC One Channels and also adding some BBC Radio Channels to the EPG - so they are updating their EPG.

Note BBC News Multiscreen will also launch.

Slightly off topic but have just seen this about skys stake in ITV
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcas...-itv.html.html
Wonder if this means Sky are going to be a more cooperative with ofcom ect over HD channels and other premium channels being made available at a better wholesale price

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I think it is unrelated. The only reason they are not appealing is because they have been told they will not win the appeal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No this won't happen. It's taken at least 2 years for Sky to accept defeat and sell the stake after being ordered to reduce their stake in ITV. No ruiling has yet been announced reference Pay tv saga and therefore expect a similar scenerio if and when the ruiling is made before Sky accept defeat again. Sky HD channels are not really part of the Pay TV saga although one would expect that it would be included as part of any subscription to sky sports once Virgin media agree to make it available on their platform.

I think anything ofcom say to Sky they will just appeal and appeal and appeal until they are forced into selling the channels.

We can always keep dreaming about them coming onto VM

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

So after about 10 years i finally get News Multi Screen... wonders will never cease...

Does that mean my new smart car is on it's way? :)

There will only be so many times Sky will be able to appeal.

But as of now it's all pie in the Sky....

Right fellow posters

Not long come off the phone to Virgin regarding the HD content, have told me Eurosport HD is arrving 1st week in April, another 7/8 HD channels to arrive by start of July.

The Sky HD channels they expect everything to be sorted by May, whether that means ofcom doing something or Virgin paying the money for them i don't know, but all sounds promising.
