RE: Premier Sports on Virgin Media and Premier Sports HD
Hi
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We have been waiting to receive information from the NHL on certain matters.
There will be up to 8-10 games per week available mainly live but with some delayed until the next day due to other events.
We have been told that the Hockey Night games will be in the mix of games in due course but as far as we know at this stage we can’t take the studio during the Hockey Night games just the matches.
We are of course planning to go HD in due course but this is unlikely to happen in next 6 months. What you will find is the picture for Hockey is better than normal SD as we bring in the signal in HD and convert. NASCAR fans were concerned at first but are generally pleased with the quality of coverage.
Once again sorry for the delay in coming back to you. Things have been moving very quickly this week and we wanted to wait until we had clearer info to pass on.
All the best,

They never mentioned Virgin Media in the email for some reason
