Also why is it taking so long for BBC Alba to appear on Virgin? Just my mates had it on his dodgy box for months and I was just wondering what the wait is for.

I'll be happy to have ITV HD and 4 HD, obviously I'd hope for more too, but they'd be a good start. ITV broadcasts FA Cup and Champions League in HD, plus the occasional good film too. It's not really accurate to say they're weak channels, when I struggle to think of any stronger channels they could add (other than Sky 1 HD, which will never happen). I'd love a Setanta HD, but given their current money problems, it would appear that's unlikely right now.

I'd like Eurosport HD and the Nat Geo HD channels too. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at ITV and 4, I'd just be disappointed.

That'll no doubt still be before any more HD channels make their way to Virgin.

Got a V+ box on wednesday, and thought it'd be a bit too good to be true for them to announce more HD channels the week I got one.

It probally in testing awaiting launch date for bbc alba i suspect teh launch date of that and hd channels will all come at once.

i wouldnt mind itv hd and ch4 hd, means i can get champions league football in hd and also get to watch time team in hd. the people who will complain are the ones who want the sky hd channels and that wont happen anytime soon unless virign decided to pay over the odds for them sometihn in the lines ove rhte odds as sky wanted for the basics.

only good thing on sky1 are house and gladiatoreds which has been axed due to the new guy thinking it boring even tohugh it had a high audiance rating.

as for setanta forget hd for them, i would be mroe worried about losing the current channels from what i have heard they might go bust fairly soon (this does nto mean they will just there balance isnt the healthist but there a good chnce there investor will help out) and they would mostly likely close the channel unless someone takes them.

I used to run my own business many years, and if l told a customer something, l would tell them the truth, thats how l got my work, you tell them porkies and it went pear shaped, it your job on the line.:)

Just relax people VM have promised 5 or so HD channels, they will get here very soon, and will announce them when the deals are completely finalised and all deals done. No point saying anything prematurely.
