I have enough trouble watching everything I'm recording right now so I'm happy with no new channels really :p::D

I must admit it has almost turned into a job watching the programs I've recorded onto TiVo!

Been neglecting the old cable forum lately (little promotion final match comming on Sunday with 30,000 mates :D) seems no news for months on channels comming to VM:(

All I know is UKTV are set to launch Ailbi HD in July 2012 on both Virgin Media and Sky.

I think Virgin will put Ailbi HD on Virgin Channel 131 with Ailbi +1 moving to Channel 193 or 194 (I forgot where Sony TV is)

I want HD channels really more HD content, I dislike watching SD now. But to be fair I don't have to watch SD very often.

I guess the channels I really want were not very likely to get soon if ever. Sky Atlantic HD, Sky Sports 3 & 4 HD. But I'd like to see the missing ITV HD channels appear this year.

Welcome home MB. Hope you're OK. Would be good to have Alibi in HD, Dolby AC3.

Surely there can't be just me who isn't really that bothered if something's not in HD?! :confused:

If I have the choice I will record something in HD but I really don't care if it's not. If you see what I mean :)

For example, I would have missed two seasons of the brilliant "Rizzolli & Isles" and also "Covert Affairs" if I had insisted on only watching things in HD. (Of course, now WatchHD has started showing the latter from the start! If only it had been the other way round :(

It's not simply the visual aspect of HD Carl. All SD broadcasts are in 2 channel stereo. If you have a home theatre setup, even a lowly Panasonic 5.1 such as ours, then the aural experience is a great deal different. Although not all HD output is surround the 2.1 Dolby AC3 is richer.

I know what you mean, but it really bothers me when it comes to football and other sports, because imo HD brings out the best in sports, especially the football, and because we haven't got Sky Sports 3/4 in HD then thats a big letdown for me.

No, but once the infrastructure is in place for these temporary channels, the vacant capacity will be in place for adding extra channels after the olympics...

Did anybody noticed the advert in yesterdays Metro?. In the 'Collections' advert there was a tv with an 'Angry Birds' game on it. Could this mean there could be proper games coming soon?

I say this because my son can play it on our Roku media streamer http://www.roku.com/uk which had me wondering if it was coming to Virgin on Tivo.
