Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Yes unless it's a BIG mistake by VM then it could be good news for the little'uns...

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Can anyone shed any light on this very reasonable question?

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

i think we will know in about 2 months

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

FYI those channels you are refering too. Where on that page does it mention them coming soon, or even being in HD. The channel logos for those channels are just for the SD versions. If you look that Sky One and Sky Living they all have HD at the end.

Its purely a banner at the bottom of a web page illustrating some channels VM have and nothing more.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Shame WE can't moderate silly posts too!

If YOU look where this page is, it's specifically and directly after you click on HD TV and with a BIG HD TV picture by a load of channel names of which we HAVE in HD.

It's not hard to work out the possible link between then is it????

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Yes it may be on a page about HD channels but it doesn't mean that the pic they used is confirming those channels coming to VM especially if they are using the SD channel logos!

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

The fact they are using SD logos is irrelevent because we know we HAVE those channels in HD! That's the point!

It's speculation about possible channels coming soon to VM and maybe some evidence to back that up... shame we had to clutter the board with a seperate thread really!

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Its not irrelevant, they have simplay made a banner pic for the page and it shows some HD channels and also some non HD channels. It does not in anyway indicate that those SD channels are on their way to VM in HD. Its just to show an example of some channels. It does not make it gospel that those channels will the coming to VM in HD.

Until VM actually announce new HD or SD channels it is just pure speculation.

he is not never going to agree with you mobes

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Like most posts on the Coming Soon thread, but hey ho... enjoy your delete button :)

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

It also shows MTV who don't have a HD simulcast (N/Live is a different channel) so however deceiving the image may be, its just another banner that has had various logos plonked on it incorrectly.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Sorry Stephen I dont buy that argument,if it is purely a banner illustrating some channels then dont you find it to much of a coincidence that all the channels listed do carry a SD and HD version,why not simply put a mixture of dedicated SD and HD channels?,I think VM new excactly what they were printing.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

and if they didnt it is easy to see why a potential customer or a current customer may be misled either on purpose or by mistake that Virgin has or will have those channels in hd

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

How many new customers (or people at all) do you know that go on http://www.virginmediapeople.com/nps/#HD_TV ?

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

no idea how would I know how many people visit any website do you know how many visit that page? Its not something I go around asking people.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Next to none.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Sorry,I've got to ask, how do you know this?:confused:

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

The VM website isn't that easy to navigate I find and little gems liek this seem almost hidden LOL

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Well virginmedia.com is ranked 37th most visited in the UK, this site is 2,665th and virginmediapeople.com is ranked 130,344th.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

:shocked:

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Thanks, someone with a bit of common sense.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Stephen,perhaps if someone at VM web design had used "common sense" we would not be having this debate,although,I still maintain they knew what they were printing at the time.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Jameseh I see your point it is not very likely that other than those who use cable forum and DS would see that page/site. However those who do see it could quite easily have the impression those channels are coming or already are on Virgin. Stephen As for saying someone with a bit of common sense that implies the rest of us forum users have none which is a little insulting.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

I agree fully isn't it strange that the three none VM HD channels listed are all ones to launch in HD on Sky with the exception of Nickelodeon which is already on
Sky in HD.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

But we DO have MTV HD. As for common sense, perhaps you should show some before throwing your moderating weight around! I notice that others feel the same about your heavy handed approach.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/08/82.png

Please show me where MTV HD is on that list of channels.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

It may not be a simulcast but we have an MTV HD channel...just like we have a Comedy Central HD channel, which wasn't listed as such on the advert.

It may well be a mistake on VM's part but the POINT of this thread, as it was banished from the Coming soon thread, was to say "Looky at this, could it be these channels are coming???"

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

They're totally different channels.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

I didn't say they were the same but we have an MTV HD channel. We don't have GOLD, DAVE, YESTERDAY etc HD channel and suprise, none of those or like those are mentioned...

As we've said, it could be a mistake but it's interesting they are there....

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Gold doesn't have HD programming. Yesturday doesn't have HD programming and I imagine original content isn't recorded in HD. Dave HD is launching within months alongside Watch HD.

Its not interesting, its just an error. Just like we don't have the american FX HD, Nat Geo Wild HD or Sky 3 HD.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

sky 3 hd does not exist

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

That is the point.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Sheesh James, for something you don't find interesting you've managed to post a lot about it on a thread that doesn't even interest you... good job! :)

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

The channels themselves don't interest me, people speculating on channels based on poorly constructed banners on niche websites does.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

I'll email VM and let them know they're niche... and poorly constructed... a little bit like your argument... ;)

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

virginmediapeople.com - Niche.

http://www.virginmediapeople.com/nps/images/hd.jpg - Constructed/created with incorrect logos - Poor(ly).

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Mate I'm giving you a good reputation point... you've made a boring day at the office more fun :)

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

But there isn't actually MTV HD which is the point I have been trying to make. Its a hastily thrown together banner probably using the first channel logos they could find.

You are just adding 2+2 and getting 5, it makes no mention of channels coming soon or possibly coming. Just that in the future there will be more HD on VM. They just so happen to have used a collection of HD and SD channel logos.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

can you close this thread Stephen

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Your not addressing his point though and no doubt your going to continue posting and creating threads based on the same premise you made this one on.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

imho, virginmediapeople isn't a VM site - whois shows the domain owner is anonymised, whilst virginmedia shows appropriate contact details.

People may have been debating about a spoof website......

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

it not a spoof site http://www.virginmediapeople.com/100mb/

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Then why is the site owner different (and anonymised) from the VM site?

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Thats a good point Hugh I wonder if it is a spoof site I have emailed it to my contact at Virgin to see what she says I understand she may not be able to say to much because of her job but would be good if she can confirm about the sites legitimacy as you have got me curious there.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

The navbar works differently in that you can't click the tab your already on or the VM logo.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

information I have received today from Virgin in regards to the suspected spoof site

"Finally, I can confirm that the site on the link you included is operated by Virgin Media. I'll speak to the team who manage and ask them to amend the site so its less confusing as to the HD channels we offer."

and with regards to cartoon network nick hd and Disney hd


Whilst we don’t currently have the children's channels you mentioned available in HD we do obviously make them available in standard definition for you to enjoy. Also, you may not be aware that Nickelodeon HD is available for two hours in the morning on Saturday and Sunday mornings on channel 310 (via MTVN HD). We also have some HD titles from Disney available on demand, eg the TV series Handy Manny, and feature films: Harriet the Spy, Sky Runners and Sweet Life on Deck.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

they have the removed the channel logos from the website

HA HA... that's awsome... what a colossal cock up!!!!

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

My post has been deleted. Lovely restriction of free speech there.

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

You post has been deleted? Is Stephen back being trigger happy after being told off by the proper mods?

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

It would appear the post was deleted before Mick's clarification in the "Coming Soon to Virgin" thread.

Stephen is a "proper" mod - Mick and Paul M are the CF Site Owners (along with Frank).

Re: cartoon network hd , disney hd, nickelodeon hd ?
 

Good old Frank, eh!
