With the new sky deal launch soon and if the Disney HD channels rumors come true then by the end of the year there won't be much different with sky. Only channels I need are natgeo HD history HD sky 3D. Not fussed with sky Atlanic.

If they could get Natgeo HD, History HD (for Vikings :)) that's a good start.
Maybe Universal HD too.

Sky 3D and Atlantic may be too far out of reach for VM...damn you Sky :mad::D

For me I am happy with all the channels that broadcast on Virgin Media right now.

For my dad I wish to see Sony Movies, Movies 4 Men and More>Movies launch on Virgin Media - as he watch Movies 4 Men and More>Movies on Freeview all the time.

I guess until HD has become the "norm" for everyone, things will stay as they are.

I can't imagine there are many people who have VM that don't have access to a HDTV.

I'm not sure to be honest. It could also be a bandwidth issue.

Confirmed: Forces TV to launch on Virgin Media.

Media Boy HQ has just found the following web site http://forces.tv/

Media Boy HQ has not seen any info on when Forces TV will launch or they Virgin Channel number - but DS Forum is reporting that they are testing on Virgin Media and Sky right now.

It's a pity about the rights issues preventing non military personnel from watching BFBS, they show Game Of Thrones on BFBS Extra.

Thought HBO was exclusive to Sky :confused:

I wonder if any UK based military people would be allowed to watch this channel :D

Some quick research shows that this channel is encrypted using Irdeto and Cryptoworks, both of which appear to have been hacked.
