Can anyone who works for Virgin Media who see this post reveal if they will also close on Virgin from Wednesday?
Thanks for any info.

I can't see that happening, it would affect a lot of on-going contracts. As customers don't seem to be complaining about changes being forced on them, maybe it isn't happening on Virgin on Wednesday. That's not to say it won't happen eventually. Sky Sports SD isn't available on Stream but, then again, neither is MUTV, if you want to take that as an indication of where things are going. SD versions will still be available on Sky for viewers in the ROI where the SD version of Sky Sports is still sold as an option (as it is on Virgin).

SD versions aren't actually being removed. They will no longer be available to Sky customers in the UK but will be available to customers in Ireland.
