Where does all that extra bandwidth suddenly come from?

From switching off analogue tv. A lot of the capacity is going to broadband though, which is why VM's bosses are confident when they are talking about 100mb launching at the end of the year and 400mb+ for the future.

I thought we were all meant to have the same channel lineups now , I thought that was the point of NGTV.

There are still regional variations, plus the various boxes count in different ways.

ESPN America HD rumoured as set to launch in August?

As far as I know ESPN/Virgin Media talks are still ''ongoing'' but Nialli blog is reporting that ESPN America HD may launch on August 3rd.

Isn't that just CS mistaking the date ESPN UK launched last year for the ESPNA HD launch again?

Didn't someone get a reply from CS saying exactly that last month. I got a completely different answer and when I e mailed them again, I received a call from CS to say they would pass on my request for ESPN America in HD, but they had no news at that time.

It will happen Virgin will want to bolster there sport offering and entice more people to take XL TV.

It's simpler than that:

Samsung: 1 2 3 4
SA V+: 1 [long pause] 2 [long pause] 3 [interminably long pause, so long that you think its crashed] 4
