Virgin Media Ireland drops ITV2, but more HD channels set to launch

Quote:

With so much of the ITV2 content now available in glorious HD across the TV3 channels (TV3 HD, 3e HD and be3 HD) we’re freeing up space for even more HD content. We’ll be adding E4 HD, More 4HD, Film4 HD, Universal HD and SyFy HD soon.

No. How would you get this in the U.K.?

Incidentally, are we on the right thread? I feel a bit dizzy! :dmonk::dmonk:

Strange, I thought Insight couldn't get Sky's interest. How did you get this through Sky?

I think Insight couldn't get SKY interested in their UHD channel. Insight HD is on SKY channel 546. It's not to my taste really. Don't watch it.

I agree very little on of interest to our house so even if Sky carried the UHD channel we wouldn't watch.
