Interesting that Nat Geo Wild HD isn't being mentioned since its managed by the same company as Fox+. Would have thought a contract renewal would include that as well. Same with 4Seven HD which has been hinted at by Channel 4.

Thanks MB for the info. The additional Sky Sports HD channels would be welcome, if only they weren't an additional charge (fingers crossed that changes :D).

Anything after FOX + and News 18 has still to be confirmed by any insiders I know.

If all this arrives then all those doomsayers will finally be out of a job once and for all :Yes: and Skydor will have to recruit to replace the many minions who will desert to the great Eden that is Virgin Media.:Yes::walk::D;)

I'd be over the moon if SA HD and Universal HD arrive before Christmas.
I hope to be caught up on Game of Thrones soon, and myself and the wife watch a lot of programs on Universal now, and the PQ is not always the best.

With all that and Netflix arriving soon, this could be a golden year for VM.

I have seen unconfirmed info that Netfix will cost £5.99 per month when launch in all areas of Virgin Media only on TiVo boxes.

So basically you are confirming rumours when you say "ALL Channels listed bar FOX + and News 18 has not been confirmed by an Virgin Media insiders - just Rumour posters"
