I agree. Then some further rumours surfaced on Digital Spy, Media Boys Blog, Virgin Community Forum and here which keeps customers guessing.
"Over the weekend I have seen rumours on both Digital Spy Forums and Cable Forum that says Virgin Media worker has told an Virgin viewer that '15 HD channels' are to launch on Virgin Media in November."
"On Virgin Media Forum - Virgin Media worker 'Leanne_W' has posted the following: Hello, I have checked for future channels that are being released in HD on Virgin Media xl tv package and there is only a set date for one new channel in December is Sky News HD."
"Over the weekend I have seen rumours on both Digital Spy Forums and Cable Forum that says Virgin Media worker has told an Virgin viewer that '15 HD channels' are to launch on Virgin Media in November."
''The latest I am hearing from 2 different well placed sources is, that Virgin will be launching Sky News HD, Sky Sports News HD and Sky Atlantic on 9th December.''
We don't know the source of all of the rumours but what we do know is Media Boy, who is well known as the go to guy for channel info, was being fed lies by at least one Virgin Media employee. We have also seen incorrect information being published on Virgins own Community forum regarding future channel launches.
It's easy to see why people would suggest Virgin are playing a game with their own customers, feeding false information to retain customers. Personally I think it's just a few rogue employees but I could easily be wrong.
