Nobody actually pays £9.99 for a day pass to Sky Sports do they? They can be had for about £3 on ebay.

I would really like to see Greatest Hits come to VM, i see it is on Smallworld so has a chance

Is there even 43 channels that Virgin are missing or does this include the likes of shopping, music, radio and +1?

Also does VM have the capacity?

So thanks for info/rumour.

Most of them will be HD channels the rest will be made up of UPC and Smallworlds channels with a few extra.

Have to say I'm impressed with the quantity of channel additions that Virgin has been making of late both before and after the Liberty takeover. They really seem to have got the message on the channels front.

Interesting. How is that possible? Are people selling multiple use of the same code then?

Media Boy's blog lists some 20 possible channels http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/p...asting-on.html
Presumably the local TV channels would be included within the 43 channels?

Ah yes forgot about local tv that would certainly boost numbers up
