Does that include HD variant or not?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Expensive for a one sport channel. One for the avid fan.

Seen no information on Liverpool FC TV HD channel coming to Virgin Media any time soon.

Info on LFC TV launching today was given to Media Boy HQ late yesterday afternoon (Only seen it today.)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Might be different on Virgin but on SKY i believe the HD variant is a extra £1.50 i might be wrong though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Only the SD Channel has launch on Virgin Media today.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4

The LFC TV holding page which said "bear with us" proved to be correct afterall.

That was a lot quicker than I ever expected! Looks like LFC looked at the poor takeup on Sky and decided to accept VM terms after all :D

If Sky have the SD and HD variants and VM just the SD version, I wonder if Sky have agreed to this to make the channel viable, given the very poor take up on the Sky platform?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Looks like SD only currently

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

I was told that talks had ended without agreement the preceding week on Sunday evening- so, the deal must have been struck sometime yesterday.

My guess is that VM made a final offer and said take it or leave it and LFC declined the offer. After taking a look at their Sky subscription figures they realised that they needed VM more than VM needed them and accepted the deal on the table.

As it appears that Sky were involved in the decision to make the channel a Sky exclusive, it looks like they have compromised and allowed the SD version onto VM.

I doubt that the HD variant will arrive for a very long time, if at all. Still, Sky actually compromising is unheard of :D
