BizAsia: ARY Digital UK Ltd goes into liquidation.

Pakistani broadcaster, ARY Digital UK has gone into liquidation, according to details obtained from Companies House.

The Companies House says that ARY Digital UK Ltd has gone into "Voluntary Creditors Liquidation" due to heavy debts. In plain English, this means ARY Digital UK Ltd has brought about this itself and is being administered by a qualified Insolvency Practitioner.

ARY Digital is broadcasting on Virgin Channel 818.

I have see no plans that Premier Sports is set to launch an HD Channel any time soon.

It is separate from the broadcast connectivity that we have where
effectively we are providing 300 standard definition channels, 30 HD channels at the moment, but with a path to grow to
80 HD channels over the next two years, or three years

if you say three years that's 17 hd channels a year. 2 new hd channels this year so far, 15 hd channels to come this year ? this is just a estimate

It all good to say we want to launch 50 new HD Channels.

But it upto Virgin Media to sign the deal with an broadcaster to carry their HD Channels.

Interesting misinterpretation there......


VM haven't said 17 channels a year, they said up to another 50 in tbe next 2-3 years - not the same thing.

Nothing has been confirmed on the ruddy Facebook page. Saying 'there are no plans at the moment' and 'in the future' is not a confirmation of anything whatsoever.

The account isn't there to ask queries about new channels and services, only to promote confirmed upcoming services while the Twitter account acts as a secondary customer service.

Virgin Media Don't panic Tony Dalton, Kyle Sanderson and Clive Knott.....We've got more HD channels being added to our extensive portfolio in the near future.

We've come along way in a year and a half, when we only had one HD channel (BBC HD).

Watch this space, we'll release more info. when the time is right.

Around the corner is another rather vague response.

What are they going to type?

You better sit down Tony Dalton, Kyle Sanderson and Clive Knott... because we've got no more HD channels being added.

We've come along way in a year and a half, when we only had one HD channel (BBC HD). Now if you want any more, you'll have to go elsewhere.

Watch virginmedia.com because if we actually reveal anything before its on there we'll probably be given our marching orders.
