I remember watching a very relaxing video with penguins on Landscape, good background music if you're just reading the paper or something.

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

Agree. I loved it when it used to be on cable,I called it The Ironing Channel...:)

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

Never saw the Landscape channel before but I guess this would be a great channel for HD, showing off the capabilities of your TV/Modern Cameras etc

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

They have a HD version in America so you never know they could launch a HD version in uk too.

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

I have been told by a VM source that this will also be coming to VM.

AIUI, these channels are in all packs including TV size M.

Interesting rumour. This is not a rich channel and relies very much on the goodwill of other broadcasters to obtain airtime free of charge (but they don't get paid carriage fees).

If this channel does appear, it does look like VM are now thinking of the bigger picture. By this I mean that they are now willing to consider adding channels that make little or no money for the company, in the larger interest.

For example, an African Sky customer may not have switched to VM because of the lack of The Africa Channel. Although the channel does not make VM shed loads of money, it's presence may lead the above mentioned customer to consider VM and go on to take some profitable services.

In fairness to VM, they couldn't do this before the extra capacity was added to the system.

BoxnationHD may come to VM in 2014 link http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/...fly-63922.html

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

BBC3/4 HD channels showing programme details from next Friday I think it was.

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

They launch on Tuesday.

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

If true it wil just be an relaunch in my local area as Telewest did carry it before they want Digital in 1999.

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

Any surprises before Christmas ? looking forward to BBC HD news starting next week
