When did Premier Sports 2 HD start on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I found it surprisingly difficult to find the date. A Media Boy blog post says 8th March and a VM reply to someone on Twitter, dated about 10 days later said words to effect of "only added recently".

Confirmed with post #393 on this very thread...and I responded to it confirming it being listed on my EPG on post #397.

Thanks Angus, someone said it had only been added a month ago, so I just wanted to check :)

Television X itself went HD today on Sky, so we may see this added at some point.

TVX-HD launched yesterday on Sky - replacing the PPN service which is no longer on Sky.

A revamped Sky News channel could be coming to our screens at some point.

It makes sense to put the resources of Sky and NBC together, but it would be a mistake if they decided to have American news readers on Sky News. That wouldn't work for many people and that would surely lose them viewers in the UK.

And there were some who were predicting the demise of Sky News.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I assume they mean the international Sky News channel that's available outside the UK.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

That's reassuring!

I think the question now is the relationship with Euronews NBC. Could Comcast/NBC exit Euronews to focus on Sky?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Seems odd as news channels tend to lose money. Vanity project??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Is it for just the V6 or will normal TiVo boxes get the app also? :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

l would say it will just be on the V6 set-top box John.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Sound reasoning there, but maybe they just wanted to draw attention to the UHD. As Netflix is on both boxes, I would have expected Prime to appear on the TiVos as well, but maybe there is a technical reason why that isn't possible.

Saving money by combining two news channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Assuming the information on the Wikipedia page is still accurate, NBC only own a minority stake in Euronews, so it's more likely they will sell their stake.
