I can confirm premier sports HD is currently free for me, have to manually type in 551 to receive it though.

Probably an error by Virgin but we can always hope that it's now part of Full House. I can remember a while back hearing that Premier were keen to be included as part of XL.

The Premier Sports HD Freeview has now ended.

So we're getting channels...i assume we're losing something or getting a price increase or both? And they'll say in response "but you got zoomoo HD"

Its alright Vince you are not in another parallel world as yes new channels are arriving despite the naysayers of this forum predicting otherwise..:)

Still working here, though probably not for much longer.

I was expecting it to stop Friday evening before the International Champions Cup starts on Saturday morning our time.

Note before anyone ask - IT NOT SKY!

I'll take a punt and say its ITV rumors have been abound for a while.

Here is that big story. (With updated information)

Media Boy sources says "An broadcaster on Virgin Media, Freeview and Sky are in takeover talks."

We can reveal that the broadcaster only got under 8 channels in the UK and Ireland.

We know the broadcaster name but we are waiting on more information before reveal.

The broadcaster is looking to takeover an other broadcaster who own up to 8 channels.

It far too easy to know the broadcaster if we reveal the number of channels they own.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

Just a heads up for those that have not seen the other thread, but Disney has won the bidding war for Fox, but the situation on who will buy Sky is still up in the air, but it looks like Comcast will get Sky.

What does this mean?

Channels like FX and National Geographic will now be owned by Disney and if Comcast buys Sky, it means all the Sky branded channels along with Challenge, SyFy, Universal, CNBC and Movies24 will all be owned by Comcast.

Also, Sky own the European paytv rights to Fox and Disney films, Disney will want these for its own streaming service, ultimately affecting the viability of Sky's film channels.
