A Froch Groves trailer is available from the front menu of Tivo.

No sign of it being available in HD though :(

It would be silly of ITV to leave their new channel exclusive to sky for too long because advertisers and potential advertisers will want to reach as many people as possible. I`m not really bothered about not getting it just now as it will only carry repeats which are a plenty already from other ITV channels. When they start showing new and exclusive drama I might feel a little different.

I quite like the Eurosport app. Lovely UI.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I aren't too bothered about having this channel from launch either.

As others have said, it will initially show repeats. Even if it is still in it's exclusivity period when new content starts to be shown, my understanding is that it will premier on Encore first and then be shown on ITV shortly afterwards. I can wait, especially as I often tend to record a complete series before watching it anyway :)

As for the asian channnels, VM obviously believe that there are enough of them in this country (that will take Pay TV) to make it a worthwhile business venture.

And what's so bad about ITV ? Like most TV networks they've had failures but they've also had a lot of hits for instance they did ok at this years BAFTAS and in 2013 won channel of the year. I welcome all channels who invest in homegrown UK content rather than buying masses and masses of American imports we have quite enough of that already.

I always remember Horizon, that was on Cable. VM took if off saying it was not a good channel.

It was a very good channel - similar to History today.

As for Encore, l will tget that on Freesat from Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

You won't as it'll be part of their entertainment pack.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

VM did not "take it off saying it was not a good channel". It closed, and was replaced by UKTV Documentary and UKTV People. In fact that was in 2004, so VM didn't even exist at that point.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I'm sorry to be harsh but you're entitled to your opinions but not to your facts. VM did not remove the UK Horizons channel as a) VM was not around then b) UK Horizons closed on all platforms and new channels were launched by UKTV instead. Secondly, as stated earlier, ITV Encore is a subscription channel so cannot be viewed on Freesat from Sky. I strongly recommend you take the time to read the links that people have posted in response to your earlier statement especially this one: http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/itv-encore?DCMP=knc

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Don't know if this has already been posted, but there is an article in the Financial pullout section of the Sunday Express, claiming that Virgin have already done a deal with Sky for all the sports channels to be broadcast in HD, anyone know about this? I've just had a look at Sky sports channels 3 and 4 and they are still in SD.
