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.

Good on ye for posting this up, it might be cr*p from CS...but at least i`m going to my bed dreaming of lovely telly come July. :hugs:

An Insider has told me the name of one HD Channel that Virgin may launch soon.

Would there be any point in me asking for you to elaborate?

Thanks

I guess that AD will be Sky only?

Why would the AD stream be Sky only? VM provide that facility where a broadcaster has it available already.

FX has indeed gone widescreen today, FX promo and Babylon 5 in widescreen. I think this must be the first time that B5 has been shown in widescreen on TV not counting VOD.

I think with the analogue switch off freeing up more space, or VM doing upgrades for more space, which I don't see as the analogue switch would have created more space.

Just out of interest how many more channels can VM add with the analogue switch off? Will they still be bandwidth constrained due to using mpeg4?

Oh, and yes, it is nice to see another HD channel being added.
