Just seems a slap in the face becuase we've been waiting so long for them. Plus no discount different prices for different packages of TV m, l, xl etc. You get a discount for sky sports and sky movies with the different tv packages.

It kinda blows and sucks.

thats what i think going to swap my vbox upstairs for a v hd box later in the year now i have to pay £14 for the same tv line up as down stairs

If you take just sky sports Channels 7.00 seems steep for 2 HD channels.

If you're seeing test channels on the FIVE channels, give your box a reboot, it seems like a bit of a glitch.
However there are test channels in the late 800s

I was just reading over the channel 5 announcement again:

"HD channels from the BBC, ITV, STV (in Scotland), Channel 4 and now Five are all included in every Virgin Media TV tier and so are available to any Virgin TV customer who can receive High Definition programming. All other basic HD channels are added to the largest TV tier (‘XL’) for no additional monthly subscription."

Is this the first time Virgin have referred to channels such as E4HD, Eurosport HD and SYFY HD as "basic HD channels"?

Yeah I'm finally convinced that SKY Sports and SKY Movies are coming as "Premium" channels and XL customers will be billed just like everyone else. I know it's already been mentioned but I'm trying to live in denial:(

Just spoken to customer services, she knew straight away, she said she has recieved training on this tonight, you have to subscribe to sports and movies in SD first and then the HD variants will be available
for £7 per month per box regardless of what tv package you are on. These will be available from the 19th july:):)

Have I started WW3 in here tonight?:D

I have been told by two insiders that Viewers who want Sky Sports or Sky Movies HD Channel can pre-order them from next Monday (July 19th) but the channels will not launch until later (I hear its August 2nd).

The flagging on the audio for FiveHD is really weird. It looks like the archaic Dolby Surround format i.e. front left and right with a mono rear surround.

I normally run my AVR with the display off so didn't notice this til earlier this evening. Anyone else getting this?
