Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Setanta Sports UK fall out - Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: Someone in the know has told me that Racing UK, Arsenal TV, Liverpool FC TV do not need an new deal to carry on broadcasting on Virgin TV and will be on XL Pack until Summer 2010 unless they Closed or Virgin sign an new deal with that broadcaster.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Excellent news on 4HD, hopefully we'll get that soon.
I want ITVHD more though, but only for the football.

Its not easy firstly you need a hd box or receiver (yes i mean dvb-c card as well even though there against tc) then you need ot program the numbe rin on the epg and pres sok sometimes it let your view it sometimes not, to check for the tests other ways is on teh samsung box preferably the hd one
