Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Apologies if this has been done before, but just thought it would be interesting to get a view of which is the most wanted HD channel. The list is a selection of what I imagine would be the most popular of the HD channels rumoured to be coming soon in Media Boy's 'Coming Soon...' thread.

You can choose more than one, but try to avoid selecting all of them just because you want as many HD channels as possible, so please select only the ones you REALLY REALLY want.

Sky Atlantic HD :D

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Same here.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I've deliberately left off Sky Atlantic, because I think we all know that we aren't going to be getting that, no matter how much we want it (as least not for a long time).

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

None at all.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Err BBCHD?!

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Dont waste your time wanting a channel we already have...

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

skysports HD 3 and skysports HD 4

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I got confused by that too, but it's "Which HD channel do you want most?", not "Which HD channel do you watch most?"


Not fussed by any of those options, but picked Universal HD

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

ESPNA HD simply because its almost all actually in HD.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

As many as possible.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I'd like to see gold go HD as the picture quality is sometimes awful.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Ahhhh! Totally mis-read your poll! Thought it said 'which HD channel do you WATCH most' LOL! Sorry! I blame the Stella!

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

some nice free to air hard core porn channel in HD ;)

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

:D in 3D too?

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

+ 1 :d

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

thats a given lol

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Disney XD HD

Disney keep telling us this is already available.. every damned advertising break.. about time they actually did it.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

sky sports 3+4 HD ones i want the most

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

We will only get them if ESPN win big at the next premier league TV rights. Sky would be trying to get as much money as they could as no one would want them.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Sky Sports 3, ESPN America and Universal.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Smellovision? :erm:


Maybe not...

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Would go along with them you missed SS4 HD off though LOL :D

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Not really interested in SPL or fishing, although I guess the Scottish Cup and Rangers/Celtic would make the channel worthwhile.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

There`s a fair bit on the internet if you look for it!

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

But theres so much free streaming stuff if you know where to get it, and I don't mean sites with poor quality uploads but full DVD's to watch for free.

Won't post link here but if you want it I will PM back requests.

Much more use would be Nature channels in HD, they would look great, in that vein Eden HD was missed off the list

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Disney XD HD Is available.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Only on Sky at the moment.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

It has to be History Hd for me

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

ESPNA loads of content broadcast in HD

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I would prefer ANY HD channel, to prove it is better than SD, as on VM l cannot see the difference.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

As a sky subcriber with all the skysports and ESPN including ESPN-A in HD I can't think of anything.

but my youngest daughter would like Disney channel HD.

I know there is a disney channel HD in America so most of the shows are filmed in HD.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

What about On Demand , 100mb broadband , free ESPN on XL , free box repairs and freephone support do they have all that.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

No. But lucky for me I'm in a VM area so I will be getting 100mb BB in March(currently rolling with the 50mb)Sky are a TV company.

Maybe I should add.....You can run Sky down all you want I couldnt careless. They provide my tv and if they went bankcrupt tomorrow I would go freesat or wait for youview or get VMtv.

I buy my TV from sky as I believe they're the best..I buy my BB From VM as I believe they're the best.(altthough it turns out with latency and jitter VM are not the best for gaming lol.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Sky linear channel range is the best but OD is better with VM as is ESPN free for XL customers.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Most Disney Channel films that are HD are available to view on Virgin Media's On-Demand service.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

But he can't get that on Sky :D

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Would be sweet if we had a few new HD channels for the main launch of the TIVO box.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

That is a must , I can see Sky knocking on the door of 70 by the year end.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

True they will keep adding more, VM can't be left behind say 4,5,6 new HD channels launch with TIVO and the Sky sports red button would be great business.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Interesting results regarding ITV2 HD and Universal HD.

ITV2 HD was struggling with ratings on Sky HD a few weeks ago, I've not seen the latest figures. Universal (formally Hallmark) is a popular channel though.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I'd take Universal HD over ITV2 HD.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Better be VM or your family will lynch you

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Voted ITV2 HD, as the standard definition quality is quite poor on a big TV compared to others channels.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Have u seen the advert Should have gone to specsavers LOL :D

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Has everyone forgot Sky Movies Classics HD which we dont seem to get...

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Crime and Investigation HD

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

VM have come a long way in the last 12 months in regards to HD channels, most things I watch are in HD now.

Movies on Film 4 HD and Sky Movies HD, Champions League, FA Cup, Premier League football on ITV 1 HD, Sky Sport HD 1&2, ESPN HD. Also Premier League Darts and Six Nations rugby on Sky Sport HD and BBC 1 HD.

Then there's programmes like Walking Dead on FX HD, Simpsons, Mad Dogs on Sky 1 HD. Marchlands on ITV 1 HD etc etc etc...

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Well said, But who knows what channels they have got in the pipeline for this year? It could be all of the above or none of the above. All we know is that there should be more on the way.

my guess ishttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2012/06/4.gif

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

They have to if they hope to tempt customers over from Sky , TIVO alone won't do it.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Looking into the old crystal ball, i wonder how many years it will be before VM regard SD variant channels as redundant like Analogue cable is? I will go for 7 years

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

We will have SD channels for quite a while yet due to the amount of standard Vboxes in circulation.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

20-30 myears that includes sky because until all channells are hd the chasnnels themself wont clsoe sd channels and someone people wont have hd tv for about that time sio virign and sky wont do it until thenish

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Disney XD HD

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Luxe HD I may not be disappointed then ha ha.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Wonder how long it will be before we have full hd 1080p that would be cool.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Quite a long time I reckon. But I agree, it would be nice. I would rather have 1080p than 3D.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Yep throw in True HD and DTS HD as well.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Just looked on my Sky+HD epg (I now use it for the FTA channels) and there is quite a bit of HD content on the other ITV HD channels however a lot of it is films .

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

I'd have Sky Sports 3 + 4 HD and Sky Altantic HD over everything on that list. Sky Movies Classics HD and Sky News HD would be nice too. Surprised Eden HD and Good Food HD aren't on the list...

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Quite a few shows that you might not expect to be in HD actually are as they were made on film and have been remastered (a bit like Thunderbirds is in HD on SyFy HD) and it looks amazing.

Jeeves and Wooster, The Prisoner and Darling Buds of May have all been remastered from film supposedly and ITV4 HD of course sometimes shows Europa League football in HD.

For me personally though they don't really seem to be that compelling considering the SD channels are free to air (they are bonus channels though) but no doubt they will get better as HD channels tend do. Remember ITV1 HD hardly had any native shows when it first launched but it's quite good now.

I would personally guess these channels could be likely suspects to arrive on VM in future.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

ITV got a lot of stick about there poor SD picture on ITV1 but you have to credit them with the amount of ITV1 content now in HD.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

as iv got Sky+ HD iv already got all of em, however id like to see Fox News Channel HD, CNN HD, CCTV-22/CCTV-HD & PBS HD Channel on any platform in the UK but i cant see that happening anytime soon if at all :(

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Mmm, they still had the nerve to show star wars in stereo :mad:

---------- Post added at 12:05 ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 ----------

Personally i would love Disney Cinemagic in HD, when youve seen them on blu-ray, watching them in sd just doeant cut it. come on virgin.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

Fox News is funny, I am not sure it's intended to be but the commentary shows make me laugh. Then again so do similar shows on RT.

Both channels are fair and balanced ;)

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

They have more shows in HD than channel 4+5 and possibly BBC One HD.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?
 

yeah well Fox News Channel isint balanced as many people have gathered lol
