That would be great - even though I got a email saying the contrary I am still hoping for Universal HD

Excellent on demand additions. If anyone missed Hell On Wheels then please take the opportunity to watch it now.

Got a few other series to work through from last year, to be honest it's easier to set up a wishlist and then watch it when I get time in a few months. But I may sneak a peak at the first couple of episodes to see what it's like.

In August 2011 Neil Berkett said that VM had the same deal to get the UKTV VOD and HD channels as Sky and that they would be rolling these out in the next few months. The missing linear channels and HD channels appeared, but not VOD.

I left a message on The Active Channels Facebook page asking when they were launching on VM and this is their reply...

Hi, we are still looking into this. We will keep you posted.

Yes, I know that. My point was based on the UKTV press release which only states that the channel will be available on Freeview. Although the footnotes to the press release then go on to confuse the issue.

Aha! the next few months... sounds similar to the Universal HD / E! HD rumour. I guess 2 or 3 years could be considered as the next few months, it's a little too vague.

So essentially, if UK TV drama doesn't launch on Sky and/or Virgin Media, it will be the only such channel in the entire UK TV stable of 10 channels plus HD and plus 1 variants.

I agree he said the first bit. But the second?

True! But if UKTV perform a massive U-turn, and provide Sky and Virgin with Drama ((and possibly even Drama HD and Drama +1 (if we're lucky)), I feel Sky and VM will be more competitive than ever tolaunch new channels onto their platforms. But that is just me, though:D
