Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Very disappointing that there is still no ITV1 HD announced. How about some ITV HD content in On Demand? It was promised when ITV joined the On Demand service yet we still haven't seen any.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I too am suprised about ITV HD
Any comment on that Ben? :) |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I did say not to get over excited. But do remember that these are the confirmed channels.
As it says there are more on the way, but VM aren't going to say what they are until it's all signed sealed and delivered |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
so when is itv hd coming does that mean will we get itv1 +1 itv2 +1 and so on

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Is something happening with Picturebox? I went to their site and it says 'putting the finishing touches to it, come back febuary 1st'. Might be something or nothing, but not seen that on there before

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Looks like we are awaiting for the headends upgrades and the decomission of the analog system, can we guess how much space this clears? or are virgin adding more capacity at the same time
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
We should know by now not to get too excited!
Hope they have at least 20 new HD channels by christmas. They need a movie channel in HD. Cause they got a sport, music, entertainment, factual HD channels. Maybe Flim4HD. I'll never go over to sky, don't want a dodgy dish on my wall. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Well MotoGP kicks off on 9th April so I'm happy :)
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
i must admit im happy with the news of Eurosport HD even though i was expecting more than 1 channel to be announced (including SD).
WTCC and Moto GP shown in HD is what ive been waiting for. i wonder if they show F3 to eurosport HD too. |

ATM, if ITV launched ITV HD and ITV+1, these would technically count as separate channels and ITV stand to lose ad dosh if lots of people switch to them, even though they would (presumably) carry the same programmes and ads as ITV1. I read somewhere this is supposed to be sorted 'later this month' (February), we may then see ITV HD (and ITV1+1) appear fairly quickly on Sky and Virgin. |

|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Looks like my predictions regarding the new HD channel were correct, having said either Eurosport or E4. Not surprised it wasn't ITV HD, not sure why people are expecting it just yet.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
do you think they will ever use sky channels for HD?
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Do Eurosport still do the World Cup? It will be a nice addition if they do as they normally cover all the games.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I'm happy about Eurosport HD, was hoping for ITVHD too though :( Shame we have to wait upto 3 months for it though.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Thats a shame they have shown it in the past and I have enjoyed their alternative commentary.
Looks like April is go for VM and I suspect as we get closer there may be a few more announcements, like posted above no one is going to announce any deals before they are signed sealed and delivered. Any VM insiders know when we might get our first peek at the Tivo software? |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Eurosport HD may show it after all Eurosport HD broadcasted the Europe vision of Eurosport and not the UK one.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Isn't Eurosport HD the same as the European version or do they now have a dedicated British channel without blackout windows for things that they do not have the rights for in the UK?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
what was the number you was given then media boy? and maybe there is some last minute details to be ironed out, hence why nothing announced. all it hink is watch this space, as it is evident, that Virgin, will add a lot of content after april
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Did you not say the number of channels you were told about were all SD?

I'm really considering going to Sky if Virgin don't provide them soon. |

No I don't. There was some detail in the 2009 thread but I cannot recall any channel names if there was any named. Post 1 says that Virgin where only in talks about making additions to the Asian Pack.
No, that was not the news that we were waiting for. Please read the last 2 pages for info. Duke |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I'm certain that ITV HD will have launched on all platforms in time for the World Cup.
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
That would be a good move for all providers who provide HD, when does the deal with freesat end so VM and Sky can carry ITV HD?

Maybe a test channe has been removed ready for launch?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I was thinking maybe Virgin are working on the Headend for my area.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
why would there be 1 less stream then? this stream a stream between headend's thus once there only 1 headend, no need for the stream?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

The red button fix on Freesat presumably gets around this somehow (or numbers are too small to make a difference). We won't be seeing ITV HD on either Virgin or Sky until this is resolved. May be fairly soon. See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...ad-sales-rules |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Seems to be resolved at least for itv+ channel and HD. Itv not happy but there you go.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcas...dated-crr.html the "official consumer" launch of freeview HD in spring may tie in with full time itv1 HD on sat and hopefully virgin. Freeview HD is already on line in Granada and London with a few more city areas due in spring too. Reports are that 1st boxes come out this month. I am keeping Argos on hooks - they keep texting it as out of stock from their new cat. Soon as one appears I may jump in - have abandoned XL and HD until more arrives (like itv HD). |

Thing is that Sky own all the HD movie channels or at least a large share in the only other non sky branded on, MGM. So until Film4 goes HD and seeing as C4 has embraced HD then there is a good chance. But then again C4 seems to have a relationship with Sky so we would miss out on that as well. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Has there been any news on some new channels and not just +1's or HD versions of channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Cartoonito and Military History are they only other confirmed channels.

You'd think now HD has been around a while and lots of people have HD ready tvs, that a lot of the channels will be going HD this year. We should get ITV HD and Five HD this year as there going on freeview. Bravo HD would be good. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
do you think theres any chance of cinimagic hd or is that way off.
