Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

its been 6 months, its only longer because people have been moaning about having it for longer. virgin have only said in december they are interested in getting hd linear channels 3 month previous the stanc ewas hd vod wa senough but that soon changed.

they said they intend to have it for 1st quarter that failed, then summer/july was meantioned but i can not rememebr which was meantionned by the ceo so i will go with july if that fails then it second tiem they have not delivered after saying they will get for then.

just cause they have now said autum means nothing it could happen befor ethen it could happen tomorrow no one knows but it will happen soon, but bear this in mind i will say that they will defintely have them by summer of 2010 which includes july in my mind. but you ar emost likely to see hd channel before christmas this year hopefully much sooner jsut depend son teh contracts

Bubblehits on its way to Virgin TV? I see Bubblehits is providing some sort of promotion on Virgin TV Music on demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

VOD and tv channel are serperate although usual if a channel VOD appears then it sometimes appears as the channel to a few months later

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

To be honest I'm confident we'll have more HD channels by the end of 2009. I'm very confident of that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Thanks for info Mobes, Sky News HD now added to my offline list.

Five is to launch an HD Channel in 2010 on Freeview (In Digital only areas.)

I cant find that promotion for BH on Virgin TV Music on Demand.

And BH as far as I know will not launch on Virgin TV as they 'Ceased broadcasting due to financial difficulties.' about four months ago.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

There is a bubble hit promotion looked it after replying above.

FIVE HD will be available to sky as well so virign probally have option to negeotitoe and add it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Ah, so they have gone back on their first "promise"?! I can't be bothered searching all the post on all the threads, but I'm sure the MD "promised" more HD channels in the first quarter 2009 - to me, that's before the end on March, i.e. over 10 weeks ago.

What happen to 'by the end of Autumn' in the 3 hours between these posts? End of 2009 is over 6 months away; not even VM/ntl/CableTel can claim that as "coming soon".

I agree, there's more to life than the odd HD channel, but that's not what this discussion has developed into; it's about VM's transparency and honesty in keeping it's customers informed. If they're not going to get any more HD channels, just say so!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Virgin TV do have an promotion but it for Clubland TV in my area anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

In regards to the second quote, just because we're being told Autumn doesn't mean we'll get them then. All those who seem to be anti-Virgin in this thread are saying next year at the latest, and for my I'm certain we'll get them this year. I'm confident we'll get them when they say, but if that falls through, then by the end of the year I'm sure.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

WEirdly it is promoted as jsut clunland here in castlecary area

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Are you serious? You say we're being told Autumn, but we're not supposed to believe it? What is the point in that?
But they're not saying when we'll get them (apart from 'first quarter', which turned out to be a lie). I'm not anti-Virgin, I'm just anti-being-lied-to. To expand a previous statement - "if they don't know if or when they're going to get any more HD channels, just say so!!!"

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

There has been no lying, just a broken promise at the most. virgin have been trying to get them added and tried there hardist to get them for th 1st quarter. do you have any idea how business contract are done? i very much doubt it ther every complex and thing can change from one day ot the next, hence why sky basics took so logn to come backm

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Broken promise - lie - what's the difference? Yes, I do have an idea about business contracts. I reckon the first rule is to not make any public comment until the contract is agreed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Lies are deliberate
Broken promises can be accidental

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

It seems that they were months away from agreeing contracts when they made their 'promise' of first quarter. That to me is closer to deliberate than accidental.
