At time of this post I have no other update on the missing ''Five'' Channels coming to Virgin.

But with Virgin testing out 12 new streams they may launch soon.

The IRISH COMPETITION AUTHORITY has ruled in favour of SKY buying VMTV channels, so we should hear something soon in regards to prices of the HD channels.

I noticed this paragraph in the ruling
Quote:

As with all media mergers the parties may only proceed with this merger if the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation does not direct the Authority to carry out a full investigation within 10 days of the date of the Authority’s decision.
so I am assuming that VM will have to wait to see if a full investigation is requested by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation which could delay any announcements?

.....I'd imagine by now that Sky and VM would have been informed if it would be referred to the minister.

Hopefully soon, they'll be some real channels on those tests that VM started yesterday. Which is of course a pure coincidence that the tests started one day before this announcement ...

.....the minute VM get the channels they'll launch them. That, I think, we can be sure of. Another couple of weeks I think.

Whether it be July or August, at least this "soon" is better than the old ntl soon meaning any time between now and the next century.:)

Now, any chance VM, can we please have a half decent EPG to go along with all these shiny new channels???

not always true !!!

VM did sit on HD channels they had access to in the past so they can launch a number at once. al least Sky do actually launce channels as they get carrage deals done hence the reason the new channels trickle out with little attention (hence the staggard launch of ESPN America HD and Hallmark HD one week apart).
VM seem to always be behind and very quiet than BANG we will get decent number channels and VM shout it from the rooftops to get attention even though they are always behind and playing catch up. its like a child shouting "look at me" when his older sibling is just like "shut up as ive been there and done that".

Tests appear for FIVE HD on Virgin Media?

Someone has posted tonight on DS Forum that tests have launch on Virgin TV for FIVE HD.

As of time of posting I have not been told about this from any of my ''Virgin testers''.
