Whilst not a expert of any sort on this l think you have just about summed up what it entails.

Tricky, how about giving me my wish too, lottery win of more than 10 pounds...and hope you don't mind the informal tricky :)

Thanks for info - still not confirmed by insiders!!!

Do you know if the rest of the Zee Channels - Zee TV, Zee Cinema and Zee Punjabi - will also appear on the XL Pack from May 1st?

Sorry, the only definate information I had concerned Zee Cafe and Zing. However, it does appear that, with some channels being downgraded to lower packs, the TV XL package is now being used to house the "added extras" for channels eg timeshift channels, the HD variants and some minority channels.

This strategy allows most customers to keep their channels and pay less by cutting out the "bells and whistles".

A wise move in the current economic climate.

Don't mind at all. If you win £1m we will split it 50/50 :D

Is everybody getting excited about tomorrows launches?

I am hoping to post more info later tonight on what package the list of channels set to launch this week on Virgin Media will be on.

I am just waiting on insider given me the goahead to post the info.

+1 and minority channels are not exactly what I would call bells and whistles.

But there is nothing else. Premier Sports refuse to be a subscription channel and Sky Atlantic is too costly.

We're getting Animal Planet HD, we're supposedly getting Universal HD & E! HD, we're getting TLC at launch.

Other than Food Network & Travel Channel I honestly can't think of any worthwhile channels we don't have.

:clap:

Spot on Jamesh, it really is just the odd HD variant that will be missing soon, but I guess that wont be enough either. With BT looking very unlikely to be bundled in with XL, I would be surprised if we do not see Premier Sports come in for it. (that obviously depends on how much these extra HD have cost ultimately)
