Morning everyone,

I'm a long-term viewer of the thread, but have never contributed myself.

I'm looking forward to the new Sports HD channels. With the F1 HD channel in mind and the Monaco Grand Prix coming up next week, I thought maybe Virgin saw this as a potential showcase for the F1HD channel for such a glitzy, showbizz circuit. Maybe I'm just hoping though :-)

Thanks Den:) I finally took the time to register and say hi to everyone. This forum has really made my working day, specially with all the BT Sport Fiasco last season...was comedy gold.

I am a bit of a HD snob, even though I don't watch much sport on Sports 3 & 4, it's always nice to have the HD version. I'm really looking forward to F1HD, and hopefully Virgin can sort out something with Universal. The SD channel is pretty fuzzy.

Im very much a HD snob as well so can understand where you are coming from there, I also believe 3 & 4 in SD is sometimes unwatchable and when you compare it to BT SD there is a definate noticeable difference. Hope we do see it soon but if i am betting man (which funny enough I am :) ) I think it will be August. Thankfullya s someone has stated teh cricket will mostly be on skysports 2 but i wonder if the county and one day cup will fall onto 3 as it sometimes did last year

welcome :)

haha yes the bt sport channel launch on VM was comedy gold. great description for it. BomberAF was on top form around that time before the legend disappeared never to be heard from before.

i still re-read the chaos when it launched on that fateful day with no warning whatsoever. quality read.

but yes welcome and lets hope something comes to virgin media soon....

I still hear the old "I can't tell the difference between HD and SD". These people are crazy lol.

I watch everything possible in HD, apart from F1 (at the moment ;) ) and Bates Motel on Universal. The HD version is the channel I'm hoping VM can secure next.

I like Game of Thrones, and a few other programmes look good on Atlantic, but if VM can't agree a deal, I'm fine with that.

Thanks mate,

I was constantly hitting the F5 button whilst I was supposed to be working. It was brilliant.

Bomber is definitely a legend, but I won't mention any hat eating.... :D

I used to be a sky customer and believe me Sky Atlantic isn`t that good. I don`t miss it at all.
Not bothered about the missing sky sports hd channels either as I wouldnt pay the hd fee

Hi MB,

I take it, this is gearing up for the new Sports HD channels?

2-3 weeks? That's a bummer, was hoping to watch the Monaco Grand Prix next weekend in beautiful HD :D
