Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

Also Virgin did remove 27 SD Channels* and 28 HD Channels* plus an unknown channel on Tuesday night from Total Channels.

*The extra Sports channels that The BBC and Channel 4 did broadcast over July to September 2012 plus Eurosport 3D.

So base on that Virgin Media look set to reuse them and launch more new channels over the coming months.

Once the Liberty Global sorts their deal with Virgin I think it wouldn't take long for more HD channels to come (Including MGM Movies who co own it with their other company Chellomedia.) Giving sky a run for there money.:D

That's in Spain though isn't it , MGM channel in the UK is a 50/50 joint venture between MGM and BSKYB.

I know. And I'm explaining why it can't be done.

I wouldn't put it past Global to do a deal directly with MGM (Chellomedia) and not Sky

And it's crazy, there's no logical reason why a hard drive from a defective box shouldn't be able to work in an identical box. The idea of PVR users swapping hard-drives to share recorded content is quite ridiculous.

In the UK they would have to deal with MGM/BSKYB however Liberty Globals UPC Ireland already carries MGM HD so I'd assume its a certain possibility , Chellomedia own the pan-EMEA channel and its associated feeds covering countries like Spain , Poland , Turkey , Israel etc.

Food Network is a great channel. It would be a great addition for Virgin.

I think the last two deals has something to do with Liberty Global.

The Chairman of Liberty Global John C. Malone is also on the Board of Discovery who own 20% of Eurosport.
