Hi!

Aren't they just previous versions of Bravo?

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

bbc news HD now live

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

Picture quality on CBeebies HD is brilliant, in 5.1 sound too. BBC News HD is a welcome addition. No red button on the channels yet. On 604 the channel name has just changed from NEWS HD to BBC NEWS.

Hi!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The SKY BRAVO trademark was only registered in June this year.

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

Cheers.

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

It's only 'maybe' launching soon from your perspective, because you have no confirmation. I think you'll find that its launch on VM is definite, it's just that the whole deal with Sky is clouded in secrecy.

If what Chad says is correct, it's the Guardian that should be embarrassed. Why criticise us for reporting what the media have said? We all like to read about what may be going on behind the scenes and so most appreciate being told about it. If you go around shooting the messengers you'll end up with no-one wanting to post about things they have picked up on and which will be interesting to people on here.

So, everyone, let's have a little more patience and understanding so that we keep the flow of information coming. ;)

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

I don't know what to believe to be honest. I was given information, which I believed to be reliable, from a very good source at SKY. However the link posted by 1andrew1 suggested the info I posted might not be fully accurate. Whilst my source was full of beans yesterday, gushing with information, he has went very quiet since I sent him a link to the info posted by 1andrew1.

No excuses. I posted information I believed to be correct. I should have tried to verify it further first. I got sucked in chasing the exclusive :D

I was also given a launch date for the new channel being July 2014 however I'll be taking that with a pinch of salt now.

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

Chad, most peeps on cable forum know the guys that post info in good faith.

I may only sit on the side lines, but I am an avid spectator. So keep up the good work.

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

It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been on my high horse last week about people posting duff information from unreliable sources :D

If only there was an egg on my face smiley

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

Well, these things happen, and I'm sure that most people on here appreciate that. Others just like scoffing when things don't turn out quite as expected.

However, what people should not do is just make things up out of nowhere to get a response. That is what is reprehensible.

To all those who post on here in good faith: keep going and take no notice of those who just try and bring you down. This thread would be nothing without you.

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

well looks like that's it for channels this year been a very good year indeed for VM hopefully 2014 be another very good year indeed for VM keep up good work VM

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

We dont know its coming old boy so surely no one can say its coming and no one can say its definitely coming? So surely we can't say its definite? As you say deals between VM and sky are clouded in secrecy like all deals in tv and business are.

But no one can say the missing sky channels are coming. As no one can produce any evidence to say they are. Likewise no one can say they're not coming as no one can produce any evidence to say they're not.

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

Don't let it get to you buddy i myself have had dud sources too :)
