Hello to all the newbies, you guys are certainly stirring things up on here (in a good way). I enjoy the speculation (must be my age,) but I don't think we are getting quite enough speculation, as such I will try and add something else into it. I think we will have Universal HD launched on the same day as BT Sports and Atlantic, positive mental attitude and all that......thoughts anyone?;-)

And also an new EPG Channel lineup.
Small world. I had exactly the same dream as you, too. Hahaha.

You're right. I think Virgin's job might be sweeter if every Virgin customer and worker subscribed to Cable Forum. Everyone's opinions will be heard then. Eh?

Well, I certainly could take a picture of it and host it so everyone can see it? I'm not stirring, I'm a long time lurker here, I just don't post (3 posts and counting!)

I was told that they're sorry it doesn't look good, but that they hope to have news soon, AND as a gesture of faith, if I'm not happy after 31st July, Virgin will let me leave with no penalty. I'm only four months into my contract....
I'd love to have Sky Atlantic, but really I want the football, and the baseball.....

Regrettably, i think you're spot on. Whole thing smacks of VM taking its customers for a bunch of mugs - which we probably are. Hope they have extra staff in the phones on 1 August, but they won't of course. Suspect cancelling on that date will require lots of patience.

I think VM will come up with something to try and pacify their customers, but i fear it wont be what the majority crave!

What makes you think there will be lots of cancellations. VM will have calculated the impact just as they did with the sky channel issue a few years back.

Interestingly, the whole of the liberty board are in the uk at the moment?

"Now if you want to know something actually worthwhile, not that I would ever condone breaching Virgin Media terms and conditions, if you hook up a DVB-C compatible TV that can read channel lists from the NAT (if you don't know what that is, it's probably more hassle than its worth for you) the NAT in my area is listing 4 Test Channels A B C and D which were not there the other day and haven't (yet) downloaded into the service menu of my V+ (if that has any meaning at all)."
In my own view

-If Virgin Media are set to launch BT Sports we may also see ESPN and ESPN HD moving to new channels numbers - maybe even using the old Satanta Sports Channel number from Virgin Channels 538 to 543.

-Or maybe they are Sky Atlantic, Sky Atlantic HD (Rumours as 'may launch' on Virgin Channels 119 and 120 by Asian Channel), Sky News HD and Sky Sports News HD for all we know.

Thanks god it only six more nights to go...
