Very true for instance we could see the launch of a new channel for champions league and Europa league games , its the same for those of us getting it with BT Broadband/Infinity.

l remember when Virgin and Sky signed the basics deal and not long afterwards Sky launched Sky Atlantic.

Just been thinking Sky Sports 1 HD and Sky Sports 2 HD did launch in August 2010 so maybe the rest of the Sky Sports HD may launch anytime up to August 2014!

Technix who started this rumour is on the ball 80% of the time.

Could be as you know i did say in the past my source had said Summer 2014 for new channels so your theory would actually tie into that time slot.

My take, for what it's worth, is that all might not be lost. I agree, the SS HD channels will not launch tomorrow.

BUT

Was it ever realistic to think they would? If they are to ever launch, those that pay the £7 HD charge will have to agree to an increase to £10 to keep VM in line with Sky. They'll have to opt in.

SO

Is it possible that the channels' availability may be announced tomorrow in advance of a real launch some weeks ahead?

Just a thought...

Nope. No-one knows for 100% certain whether it is or is not coming to VM, or any other provider for that matter.

Well, Liberty Global's results are due out tomorrow so then would be a good time to announce such a development. What else might they announce VM-wise tomorrow?
- Sale of ADSL customer base to BT/PlusNet, Sky or TalkTalk?
- Details of Smallworld rebranding.
- More details on LG-VM integration cost savings.
- Growth in revenue-per-customer but decrease in number of customers.

Mike Fries mentioned LG could start an OTT service of their own recently , personally can't see it being in the UK as its a somewhat crowded market but who knows ?

That channel was not on my list of channels that may launch by 2015 on Virgin Media.

See post one for more information.
