ESPN America HD may appear in August when ESPN signs an new deal with Virgin Media.

Great but weren't you saying it might be going anyway?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Animal Planet HD is a superb channel. The HD seems to look better than most other HD channels too. Very enjoyable to watch :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

ESPN UK may be going, but I doubt ESPN America will. Don't forget that the version we get here covers more than just the UK and Ireland. Then there are two other versions (one for most of mainland Europe and one for the Middle East and Africa). As they don't have any local presenters and just take the entire US feed they don't have the same overhead that ESPN UK have, plus they don't have to worry about overpriced football contracts.

Thankfully I can watch the Spring Training games in HD via my Apple TV with an MLB.tv subscription. :)

Did the UK Apple TV ever have NHL GameCenter? I swear I've seen it but it must have been a US screenshot.

Very good news then ;):)

No, that's not on the UK model.

If the rumours are true that ESPN UK will be closing by May then it might be sooner that VM get to negotiate a new deal.

i hope we get bt sport hd on the xl pack just like we got espn now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

If so then yes, they would. I would expect, if that was the case, that the encrypted recording would need the card and the box it was originally paired with to allow playback.

I'll take this with a pinch of salt however, as I just tested playing back a recording with the card removed. The recordings, including those from Sky basics played.

Wouldn't copying the programmes with a DVD recorder or streaming them over a network or the internet be much simpler for anyone wishing to go down that route?

And yet the recordings play back without a card...

And so would I after over two years of waiting .:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Virgin customers should be used to waiting now :p:

Did I head some news about ESPN not doing so well financially and might not last?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

ESPN is an profitable American global cable television network and as such will soak up any small losses in parts of its worldwide operations.
