"The total number of high definition channels on Freeview will increase from four to 14 by the end of next year subject to regulatory approval from Ofcom."
What could these be, and will they be added to Virgins M package and above as standard?
If ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD form part of the 14 potential HD channels on Freeview, I'd guess when they launch next year that's when they will arrive on Virgin.
All speculation of course. |
That's not forever though

Ofcom wants 10 new channels on Freeview, all in HD, and is asking if anyone fancies running them, but only until 2019 when the needs of mobile telephony will cause the plug to be pulled.
