Unfortunately I came to realise a long time ago that waiting for virgin to launch new channels was like waiting to win the lottery! it ain't gonna happen! not in our lifetime anyways. Unlike sky virgin do get to choose and pick what channels appear on their platform, when and for how long. They have long and complicated numerous channel contracts with different providers.
Its all well that virgin try and include as many channels as they can under the 'xl' umbrella but to what expense? I do believe they need to start charging an hd subscription because that is the only way vm subscribers would have access to at least somewhere near what sky has.
If you want tivo, true vod and supreme internet vm its gotta be, but for linear channel choice its gotta be mr murdoch!
