Virgin to carry all SIX Channels of CBS and Liberty from launch???

Quote:

The channels will also be given a boost from CBS' programming catalogue as well as CBS marketing. Shows such as Dynasty and the original Star Trek will be headed to the cable services. The channels will be carried by BSkyB, Virgin Media and the free-to-view FreeSat service.

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: My Virgin Media insider has told me to expect Virgin Media to announce something very soon regarding TV.

To my reckoning there are 2 zone channels on vm so that will mean that we are getting another 4 channels ?

I lost my list for post one (working on readding it offline.)

My Virgin Media insider did not say when Virgin Media will announce this but they told me it will be ''very soon''.

When will we have digital text on the text button of our VM remotes? (ex-NTL/ex-C&W)

So thanks to everyone who took part.

I'm delighted that the public voted for my design and that you have chosen to adopt it.

Should we worry about the trademark infringement court case?

IPTV Launch date?

Horizon · 16-09-2009, 16:40

....as far as we're concerned, I'd say 3 years before we see any changes.

I doubt that the fanfare is about Living HD as that's pretty much a given now, just a matter of days.

Virgin Media have already announced their IPTV ambitions for next year so it's probably not that either.

So another 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV' ...

The decision to retain the CRR as it stands but to relax certain restrictions on time-shift and high definition variants of ITV channels means that ITV now feel comfortable to begin launching +1 and HD channels.

So yet another 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV' ...

Guess we wont now since teletext and such is closing down.

Well they are at the goldman sachs tommorrow so that is what they could be on about with the iptv , living hd , eurosport hd , history hd or it could be ? who knows . All we seem to know is that normally when media boy say that something is about to happen it normally does .

But for one i will be checking out globe news wire and also buisness wire every morning to see if vmed has any press releases as these seem to be to two that they seem to use .
