But the posts clearly state "rumours" by media boy or posters stating "from what I'm hearing..."

This is such a non discussion which has been going on all day. How about we leave everything as it is. People understand what this thread is, read the posts carefully and then we can all move on. :)

Or if they just want facts just move to the change log thread where just the changes are reported.

Excellent now that's sorted we can move on.

This.

We won't be renaming this thread as it is to discuss whatever is 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV'.

News that is, at the time of posting, just a rumour is marked as such. I have posted such things and made it very clearly that they should be taken with a pinch of salt. That's not to say they're lies (I have no reason to suggest this), but they are just....rumours. That goes for anything else posted in the same way.

Until we can get official confirmation from VM, every piece of news about something 'Coming Soon' should be treated as such.

I fully understand the frustration of being told that a particular service, channel, update etc is on its way - after all I'm a VM customer too - but it's pointless to get your hopes up unless something is verifiable from VM themselves.

I have a day away from here and it all kicks off. I agree with Russ, everything on here is posted in good faith. The people who normally inform us have their trusted sources and at time of posting the news may have been correct. But surely people can understand that launching a new channel isn't the easiest thing. It can be a technical nightmare. VM will only launch channels after extensive testing, if there is a glitch they will work at it until it's right. Take Netflix for example, this was rumored to launch this past week. At the time we received this news, it may have been the plan but due to a technical aspect it may have been postponed.

Honestly I'd rather VM do this because it then prevents us moaning if they launch a faulty product.

Great idea, Changelog should be pinned. This coupled with a gentlemans agreement to not clutter the Changelog thread with waffle would make me happy :)

I enjoy this thread for its banter and rumour mill, it gives an indication of what could be coming and it all looks good for the future of VM.

Keep up the good work guys, I for one wouldn't change anything about this thread

Technix posted on Digital Spy that Premier Sports should launch soon on Virgin Media, and provided a channel number, which I can't remember!

It was deleted by the administrators (probably by mistake), as the New Channels thread had descended into arguments.

And Technix is usually spot on with his predictions.

Lifetime HD is not being BARB Reported, and was not submitted with Lifetime and Lifetime +1 which would suggest it isn't being launched.

Bio will also not finish BARB reporting on the 3rd November

Lifetime will be taking Bio's slots on Sky for its November 4th Launch.
