Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I can only confrim that Virgin are in talks with ITV over the missing ITV HD Channels.

I have only seen rumours about Virgin having any talks with BSkyB.

(Until my insiders can confrim they are just rumours in my eyes.)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Hopefully talks with ITV come to fruition , unlike ESPN America HD which VM execs confirmed they were in talks with some 18 months ago.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

My Insider has confrim to me that Virgin are in talks with ITV for ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD.

Any more news will appear here when I get an update.

I have not seen any news about Virgin in talks to carry ESPN America HD in months.

All I have seen has been on Cable Forum.

im hopeful the ITV deal isn't far off - I'm dreading watching the RWC on 2,3 and 4 on the awful VM SD stream

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I have also been in correspondence over the last eight months with Cindy Rose EXecutive Director Digital Entertainment and she has also confirmed they are in negotiations for ESPN America HD.
It does seen to be taking an eternity to reach a deal.:(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Virgin Media have been in talks with Sky over Sky Atlantic since before it was launched and these talks appear to have continued ever since. I think you may be clutching at straws here, martine93, but I hope I am wrong!

Don't forget that around launch time, Virgin Media said that we won't be getting this channel any time soon. To my mind, that's far worse than 'coming soon'!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

to be fair...since launch all adverts have said Sky Atlantic was exclusive, in all the ones I have seen this past week there has been no mention of exclusivity of the channel to sky...maybe just maybe its getting closer...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

agree

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

All the Sky Atlantic adverts I've seen recently say "Only on Sky channel 108"
