Universal HD is the only channel for me in 2015, to many top series in very poor SD picture quality? There seems to be a reason beyond me why this channel is not on VM tv package portfolio in HD:confused:

Completely agree along with history stand out. Be good to know reason from either side of companies involved

@vince, also agree re name , did you suggest to them what you would rename history?

I tweeted VM to ask if there were any German channels heading for Worldbox, the reply was no. Would be useful for GSCE revision for my daughter!

If i am not mistaken i believe euronews has the option on red button to hear in german

(slightly off topic) also you access manay german channels via various apps and website with/without smart DNS. ZDF being a favourite of my channels via their own app and for proSieben via their website

Ah interesting! Does zdf need a smart DNS to use the app?

some programs are blocked and need smart DNS, some are not,

as a rule of thumb news and some documentary knowledge based wont be but entertainment for example tv movies will be blocked, for which I use hola VPN (free on ipad )and it seem to work so i use that and stream onto my apple TV

So what channel can we expect from virgin this year we had better start with sky sports sky news HD. Any got rumors/insider info that they can post. They're not many left to have now, but would like some HD channel netgo history ect, amazon prime an anime channel would be nice like Crunchyroll.

We have Sky here too - and Universal HD gets watches a lot.

Never watch Sky Atlantic - tried a few series but also loose interest during episode 1.
