at first i thought u were gunna say FX HD was going to be added to virgin:(

Any news on MTV airing in proper widescreen yet? They have lots of shows that are filmed in ws but are aired in 4:3 with widescreen video in it, so that quality is very poor. Surely they could make the switch! Especially as they have an MTVHD channel now, shame the content on there is limited at best.

yeah I too thought the same.. :-(

Hi Media Boy,

When you say "All BBC Radio and TV Channels will launch in all areas of Virgin TV" in post 1, does this mean just the BBC TV areas "England", "Northern Ireland", "Wales, "Scotland" - or will we be getting all the regions (ie. "South East", "London", etc)?

Also does this mean Virgin will finally have BBC Two Wales, etc - or just the BBC One channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Just what is in ntl areas, region spefic like souith east and such will not launch as they are only required for that area, it iwll be scotland, england etc

I have been hearing a few times today that the BBC are making their HD content available on iplayer. Will that only be the internet based iplayer or are we going to see it on the VM catch up TV implementation of iplayer?

Any ideas?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

BBC HD iPlayer is only on the iPlayer web site right now but will come to other network (Virgin Media) soon.

BBC has still to set an launch date for it to appear on Virgin Media.

Media Boy NOTE: I found this info on DS Forums (So it may not happen).

Two days after it's on FX - starts April 26th. Series will stack as its broadcast. They're also add season one to Virgin Central this month, but I believe only in SD. (I've put the press release from Virgin up on the VMHD blog.)
