Only if you have the nowtv box mate, any other boxes or pc etc you need to have the sports pass.

Not sure if Sky wants to talk really, they want to promote their own platform which is understandable but frustrating at times.

It's not going to happen.

Only coming to satellite for the moment, according to ITV Viewer Services.

Interesting as Endemol Shine is owned by Fox who are normally aligned with 40%-owned affiliate Sky.

Sky Movies Harry Potter Channel back in April.

Sky Movies has confirmed that Sky Movies Harry Potter will be back on April 2nd to April 10th 2016.

No news yet on where Sky Movies Harry Potter and Sky Movies Harry Potter HD will be using.

We feel Sky Movies Harry Potter will be on Virgin UK Channel 404 and Virgin UK Channel 307.

We feel Sky Movies Harry Potter HD will be on Virgin UK Channel 434 and Virgin UK Channel 337.

I think they may replace sky movies family or showcase, most likely showcase.

Indeed, you said:

Quote:

ITV have confirm that three new regions are to launch soon in HD on Virgin Media UK.
ITV Viewer Services state:

That certainly isn't confirmation of the channels "coming soon" to Virgin Media. They don't give any time scale at all.

Sure, they will no doubt arrive on VM at some point and I do realise that the term "coming soon" has a for more flexible interpretation on this thread than it does in normal usage. My point was that ITV aren't actually confirming that these regional variations will be on VM any time soon.

I like this part of the article

Quote:

Further exclusive deals are anticipated later in the year, and with Kingdom screened in Ultra HD, observers anticipate such series spearheading Virgin Media’s entry into UHD programme provision with an updated UHD set-top box.

From the reading of it, it will show a mix of all sports

EG that's why it is called Sky sports Mix
