Are Virgin Media testing an new channel for launch?

Last night I look at my setting to see the number on ''Total Channels'' and I got 310.

Then today Virgin Media removed ''PPV Event'' from Channel number 980. But my ''Total Channels'' still says 310.

So I think Virgin are going to using that channel for an Ex-ntl channel to launch in Ex-Telewest areas.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Probably History +1



Just beat me to it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I know the deal has been signed to carry History + 1 in all areas of Virgin Media.

Virgin has done this in the past back in 2007,

One day Virgin removed an ''Test channel'' from Ex-Telewest channel 990 (I think) and an day later Baby TV was launch on Ex-Telewest.

....Ch 980 is gone in my area too (ex ntl) and I'm down a channel, unlike your area. Wednesday's is the normal day to launch stuff, so you could be right about History +1 finally launching to ex telewest.

IF VM want to bring in HD channels, but can't as they claim there is no room, to add these channels, what is the damn point of bringing in +1 channels, that are just repeats of the main channel, it's pointless.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Because a lot of people like those channels and rely on them when they can't afford the v+ service.

Arthur do you happen to be about 2 years behind in time? that was the reason just over a year ago, however they now have room to launch i think up to 10 hd channels in mpeg2 however thye wont have room for other channel so i think they plan to launch maybe 5-8 and that give them room for about 20-40 new sd channels, the regionally difference have already got allocated space so do not count ot the 20-40 channels. The reason for no luanhc of hd yet is cause the contracts have to be finalised first whihc i believe isnt to far off

I've just looked on TV-OD at the new Dexter in HD....one episode!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

One episode of Dexter in HD will be added to On Demand once a week until August 12th.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
