Can anyone confirm this. Anyone wanting this channel should email virgin media so they know there's interest.

Sorry muppetman11 cannot confirm it but surely this channel will be a no brainer to add to VM HD lineup, especially if mediaboy prediction of 20-30 HD channels by 2011 is to be realised on post 1

Rumours are that ESPN want Sky to pick up the tab for bandwidth and Sky are not willing to do this. So until it is on a satellite that can broadcast to the UK (I am guessing this bit are the other countries it broadcast in served by different satellites?)

The email from VM CS is almost certainly a copy and paste job from a standard letter and it has had the name of the channel changed by the CS agent.
