Catch-up with Demand Five
Cinémoi
ESPN Classic On Demand
Plus Five HD launched on the same day Virgin announced the sale of VMTV, which confirmed SKY Sports & Movies HD would be coming in August.

If we look back at the past 12 months instead of the last 6 you can add the following to the list too:
Eurosport HD
Discovery HD
Film4 HD
ITV HD
Sci Fi HD
The loss of Bravo, Virgin 1 etc was a bit of a bummer however what's been added in the past 12 months more than makes up for it. Things have went a little quiet recently however Virgin are rolling out Tivo and 100Mb broadband.
Virgin have promised more channels soon, and staff have confirmed this also. We just need to wait until the new financial year. Virgin will find it hard to top what they delivered in 2010, but I'm sure they'll give it a good try.
Now I'm sounding like a Virgin fan boy, which isn't the case, however people seem to forget what we've received in just 12 months and tend to focus on what we've lost or what we haven't got yet. Lets give them a chance, and see what treats they have in store. Alternatively send your channel suggestions too them directly via this link:

and share their replies with the rest of us. Media Boy does a great job with this thread however it's more filler than "Coming Soon" information these days. Maybe if we all pester Virgin for the channels we want, we can all add great coming soon news instead of relying on Media Boy all the time.
I can confirmed that Virgin have failed to reply to my recent e-mails and feedback asking if Premier Sports will be coming soon. Either they are ignoring me, or a deal is close and they can't reveal. Previously Virgin simply replied to me stating there was no plans to add the channel. Maybe I'm blacklisted for being a pest.
