:shocked: That is amazing! I can't believe how similar both posts are.

So other than BT Sport and Sky Atlantic are we missing anything else really? Excluding HD channels that is.

Only channel i can think of which i'd like is Fox News because it seems absolutely comical and hilarious to watch (for the wrong reasons)

Just a shame that two prime channels everyone wants are BT sport and sky atlantic so people do look past all the improvements they have made.

Wouldn't really call it improvements bud,I like quality rather and quantity to me that list just show me how bad it is we're some of them channels are concerned and not gonna temp we customers like bt sports and sky Atlantic would

Well the proofs in the pudding and the use by dates runs out soon.

Make your own pudding then is fresher....

Virgin offer a great selection of channels. There may be a few HD channels missing but many are being withheld from Virgin. With 10 new HD channels reportedly launching on Freeview in the next 10 months, and channels like More4 HD losing their exclusivity to SKY real soon, Virgin might not be a million miles away from offering 60 HD channels.

In terms of other channels, your not missing anything major. SKY offer a wider selection of music and news channels but Virgins music on demand and 11 news channels should be enough to keep fans of music and news busy.

I'm inclined to agree. They've certainly done well this year adding some of the missing HD channels, but that's against the terrible previous year and the fact they were lagging so far behind. Still channels such as Nat Geo Wild HD and Universal HD that have been around for ages now. Hopefully they are working on these too.

Yes, Vince, once they get BT Sports, ESPN and Sky Atlantic on here, they will have completed my wish list.

I quite like filler channels to be honest as i always end up watching france 24 drunk on a friday night for some bizarre and frightening reason. no idea why. so i quite like filler channels to watch once when it launches and never to watch again.

That will because as the old saying goes "subtitles mean boobies"

This is an extract from Routers news:
Separately, a person familiar with the situation said the group was close to agreeing a wholesale deal with cable operator Virgin Media (LBTYA.O). Any wholesale deal would increase the number of viewers watching the channels, and allow BT to charge more to advertisers.

you can read the whole news report here http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/0...97B0KG20130812

Sounds like a deal is very close guys, Arthurgrey you better get onto the CEO's office they might have been feeding you some bull

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

And the other UKTV SD channels are all now in TV M+

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

I'd still like to know where reuters got this information from?? it just sounds as if someone in reuters as heard VM and BT are in talks. They've then gone "hmm those talks have gone on for a while...they must be close now" and then shoved that at the bottom of a report.
