Yes most likely, but it would be better if the do the same as what SKY have done with the HD variants of the channels.

I think the following may happen:

Eden HD - launch on Channel 209.
Good Food HD - launch on Channel 261 with Good Food +1 moving to Channel 262,
Watch HD will launch on Channel 125 with Watch +1 moving to Channel 126,
GOLD moving to channel 127,
GOLD +1 moving to channel 128,
Dave moving to Channel 129,
Dave HD launching on Channel 130,
Dave Ja Vu moving to Channel 131,
Ailibi moving to Channel 132,
Alibi HD launch on Channel 133,
Alibi +1 moving to Channel 134,

Other channels on the move?
Syfy HD moving from channel 165 to channel 136,
Syfy +1 moving from channel 166 to channel 137,
Comedy Central moving from channel 132 to channel 182,
Comedy Central HD moving from channel 133 to channel 183,
Comedy Central +1 moving from channel 134 to channel 184.

NOTE: I have not been given any channels numbers for the UKTV HD Channels by any of my insiders.

Does that mean VM wont be having any UKTV channels in HD, or maybe lose UKTV channels all together?

Virgin has the rights to broadcasting but still in talks with UKTV on when to launch them. But also I was no given any channels number for all the UKTV HD Channels that set to launch ''soon'' on Virgin - Eden HD and Good Food HD.

Dear Martin

Thanks you for your mail which Neil has asked me to answer on his behalf.

Your email comes at a great time as Virgin Media has just completed agreements to launch the new HD channels from UKTV . I'm really pleased to say that we'll be adding them to our HD channel line-up as soon as we possibly can. - We're still in discussion with UKTV about the precise technical details re timing, but our aspiration is to launch at the same time as Sky or as soon as possible after.

Kind regards
Peter
