Who knows but keep an eye out for the ofcom pay tv enquirey,who may tell sky to wholesale some premium sport/ movie HD content,when it delivers its final report due this month. Of course it may well be a damp squib but after three years almost there is a hope it may come up with something half decent.;)

I don't have too much faith in the OFCOM report. That has been going on for years and Sky will just appeal and appeal and appeal for as long as they can

To be honest i would not hold out too much hope myself,but in an article i found it said ofcom may use its powers to force a price cut allowing sky to appeal afterwards.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...edia-ofcom-sky

Ofcom know sky love trhe courts after the itv shares marathon of court cases which sky threw money at galore but still lost.

Not long to go to find out what ofcom propose if anything.:shocked:

Virgin will have those by this summer, if not through ofcom then they will pay for it. CS told me that they need to do this to keep up with Sky so there is not a heap of customers converting to Sky.

Have faith it will be here in the summer along with ITV HD

i think Virgins low churn rate, proves that there isnt too many people, just rushing to sky because of their red burron or HD channels, and with virgin being more proactive, you may see the reverse, as Virgin HD isnt at a premium

I never believe anything I hear from CS as they say anything to stop people moving to Sky.

As stated VM are doing ok on their own without the Sky channels in HD at the moment, they still have the Sky channels in SD, and as they showed before they could survive without Sky Basics too

Media Boy talks about Sky HD rumour.

I have not seen any thing that back up that rumour on DS Forum from any of my Virgin Insiders so I am not going to add that Info. onto this week list update.

Update: An Virgin Insider has just told me that rumour on DS Forums is bogus.

Virgin Media has agreed a deal with Turner Broadcasting to make its pre-school children's channel Catoonito available in the UK on the cable television.
