Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Who knows could be right or maybe not,ofcom have had a premium content pay tv review (to do with HD content and access to it) ongoing for a while, if its true sky might be selling to head any regulation off.

Just before the sky basics came back on vm, sky had an intensive media campain to get people to switch,with the line "not currently available on vm," and at the moment they are having an intensive HD campain,could it be once they have maxed out their takeup, and most would be HD customers have signed up to a new 12 month sky contract,the sky channels suddenly appear in HD on vm,only time will tell.:)

Good point richard1960 no one had a clue about the sky basics coming back up until 10 days before they came back on air out of the blue. Plenty speculation but nobody had a clue.

Acutally some people did but you will find they would have been on tight mouth orders for obvious reasons

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Time and again ilovehd, this forum proves to be mega unfriendly. If anyone other than the 'regulars' post or report things that other people don't know then it must be untrue and your branded a liar or simply bigging yourself up to make yourself look good!

I personally believe this is what you have been told and I say thanks for sharing it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

They do seem to be taking their time making HD available. I can't believe a media company as big as VM only have the one HD channel. It's pretty laughable really, especially in this day and age.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I wouldn't take the fact that people on here don't believe you too personally. Since BBC HD launched (and itvHD for a while) every single post claiming that new HD channels are coming have been nothing but untrue.
I have given up believing any rumours about HD channels and like most people, will believe it when I see it.
P.S I'm talking about HD channels, not content, which has increased lately and could indeed be a good sign of more channels coming soon.

Hi Product13, You have said exactly what l have been saying for months, yet some forum members don't like it, VM is supposed to be a major TV company, and yet seems to be stuck between planets, Earth and planet truth, Its like a piece of string, where does it end.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Thanks peeps you share something then they shoot you down im for 1 is frustrated that there us bo hd content thats why today i recieve a code from me step dad for half price sky hd so all is well now lol!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

when will you be happy with virgin arthur? when they have the same lineup as sky olus a few exculsive? god you really always having a go at virgin but never say well done when they do sometihng good, and you seem to have the ability to do what the policatin do and makea spin on thing the way you want to see it and not see both sides of the aruement. granted this is not hte case this time

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I agree. Ilovehd, I don't think that we're shooting you down per se, but everything we're heard so far, including comments from the CEO, have turned out to be wrong.

Some of us are probably rather bitter about it all - I know I am - and a few of us are geeky enough to care about the cable platform itself! So you've got people who are tied into contracts *and* those who think it's a bit of a waste of potential, all wanting HD on VM - I'm both.

I must admit that I was very tempted to just dismiss your post, but as I said earlier, it's intriguing because it is (to the best of my knowledge) the first bit of info purporting to have come from inside Sky. Who knows?

PS. Ilovehd, I hope you don't feel that I was shooting you down.

PPS. Ilovehd, bit of advice, if I may: don't call people "tools"! Nobody will take you seriously if you do :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Tools is a good word lol! I dont care if peeps dont take me serious iam who iam like it or lump it people

In the nicest way possible lol ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I think we're all pleased your happy, so with that piece of information you can play with your tool with a clear conscience.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

By all means yes, play with your tool, just be sure to use protection against the Chuck Key Fairy!
