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.

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)
 
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.

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.

Isn't the ITV HD issue tied up with getting the Competition Commission to change the formula which regulates advertising rates to ITV1 ratings?

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.

Some being the important word here. Its Eurosports biggest HD event of the year and we will miss it

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.

Do Eurosport still do the World Cup? It will be a nice addition if they do as they normally cover all the games.

I'm assuming you mean 'will they ever get the Sky HD channels', in which case the answer is most likely, one day. But not any time soon.

Regarding Eurosport showing the World Cup, do you mean the football World Cup? If you do, then no, only ITV and BBC show it.

virginruinedntl 01-02-2010 14:47

I'm happy about Eurosport HD, was hoping for ITVHD too though :( Shame we have to wait upto 3 months for it though.

zantarous 01-02-2010 14:48

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?

Media Boy UK 01-02-2010 14:48

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.

zantarous 01-02-2010 14:53

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?

My contract with Virgin is up in a few months time. It would be nice if they launch more Asian channels and the interactive features for Sky sports.

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.

It's because ITV HD is currently on the red button on ITV1, they're waiting until the simulcast channel is set up before it's added to any other providers.

As I understand it, under the current Competition Commission rules, ITV's ad rates are regulated according to viewer ratings on ITV1. If ITV launch ITV HD and ITV1+1 these technically count as completely separate channels, even though presumably carrying exactly the same programmes and ads. If lots of people switch to them from ITV1, ITV will potentially lose lots of ad revenue.

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

bayards 02-02-2010 16:12

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).

Looks like it isn't being shown anymore, not listed on livesportontv.com, tvguide.co.uk or the Sky Sports site.

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.

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.

Yep thats what I said a few posts back Film4 HD we could have, would be awesome.

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.
