...but unfortunately, as far as I can see, all that has been said since has been based on supposition, and until an official announcement is made no one can know exactly which channel will arrive on what date.
Fingers crossed that we have made sense of what has been tested and that for once VM will produce the goods in the time frame they themselves have given..but..it won't be the first time we have been left waiting.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
All we have seen so far is that some channels are testing,its on the v+ page on their website and an employee over at ds has stated that 3 channels will launch this thursday so we will just wait and see we might be surprised from the test been carried out so far this is a clear indication they are getting serious.Just hope it does happen so i can get rid off this damn sky hd sub.

We are currently in discussions with ESPN about carrying the ESPN channels on Virgin TV.

so that look like to me as Virgin are in talks ESPN for ESPN Classic, ESPN and ESPN HD.
Also my V+HD box is giving me the EPG now and next for ESPN for next Monday (August 3rd) on Virgin Channel 533.

Well, that settles the matter then.  You wouldn't get listings if there was no channel. But the official VM line will be still in negotiations until it actually launches.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Of course the V+HD box is still calling the channel ESPN America next monday so not exactly conclusive evidence (particularly bearing in mind how late the EPG is often updated to correct incorrect listings...)
