The BBC are to discuss HD regional versions of BBC One next year, so I agree for the main channels a swap does seem some way off. As for all the others, they could be moved anytime.

So is the thinking that, rather than a Sky style HD swap, there will be a specific HD part of the Virgin epg so, if you want HD channels basically they start at 161 rather than 101 kind of arrangement.

VM are placing the bulk of the HD channels in a certain area, so who knows for sure what their plans are, it may be a HD channel zone as you suggest rather than a swap, or neither.

In any case, VM have a larger problem at hand to deal with. The entertainment section is almost filled up. If +1 and HD versions of all existing channels launch, there is no room for them and certainly no room for new channels.

Will Virgin has left Channel 603 free (For Sky News HD?).
And have also left Channel 709 free (For Disney XD HD?).

Maybe ;)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.

Well the BBC HD channels will definitely be launching on the 10th December. If you scroll the epg to the 10th that is when the channels listings actually start.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.

looks like them be the last ones to launch this year been very good year for VM

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.

I know prices are set to go up in the new year. I've had an email saying my virgin services are increasing by £5.75 per month from the 1st February 2014. . That seems a lot for 1 price rise no??

It has indeed been a great year and 2014 is likely to continue that tune.
