At least its a start to now be watching continuous films in HD, as apposed to the odd one on channel 4, and it has to be more popular than eurosport. At last i am now starting to get full use out of my cinema setup, especially when its broadcast in 5.1

I'm more looking forward to Eurosport HD, watching the tour de france in HD is great, seeing the scenery as the tour goes through france was fantastic when I watched it on sky.

and the croissants...even better :)

Just come back from 3 days away from cable and the internet and I read this.
Great News, love the movies, so Film 4 HD will be a great addition.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but here you go anyway

Can you keep me up-to-date and tell me when Virgin Media has removed your local BBC Radio Channels from their Channel numbers.

(Virgin will do this within the next week.)

Yep, couldn't agree more - 2009 TdF looked great in HD on Sky. Eurosport is great for all things two-wheeled!

Excellent news about the new HD channels, 2 great additions as far as I'm concerned. Very interesting news that Film4HD will be a VM Exclusive, I wonder if there will be more similar details to come? ITV HD is hopefully the next priority.

When they are removed, is this the first step to NGTV?
thus meaning the headend is due sometime soon?

Yes.

When your Local Radio is removed within the next three months your Headend will join NGTV then about two month later you will get an new viewing card.

I think they are moving a little quicker now MB. Possibly even down to a month. Derby DE22 started receiving cards last week. The boxes were only updated at the end of Jan. I'm livivng in Notts at the mo so will let you know when our cards arrive. Software was updated about 2 weeks after Derby

Okay I am not a big radio listener so if I am in London (I think the Acton headend) what should be my local radio station that I should be keeping a eye on to see if it has gone?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 
Local Radio was only on Ex-Telewest Headends.

When you Headend has join NGTV you will see BBC Radio 4 LW (Channel 911) and BBC London 94.9 (Channel 937) broadcasting in you area.

As I have stated in the past, there is almost no HD content on ITV HD
