Yup there is a delay. Shows why there hasn't been any publicity around it yet

They're probably negotiating to get the best deal as they did with the original ESPN channels. I remember we were all complaining about the lack of announcement for ESPN HD, then we all cheered up when VM announced they were including it as part of the XL package  It's a paid for extra on Sky so I guess Sky don't have the same issue here.

Its the other way round. VM are getting it before Sky.
A few of the Movie channels will be getting renumbered from the 24th June. Not sure if this will have anything to do with the Sky HD movies?

I think Virgin will move all the Movies channels about on June 24th that have not got the Sky Brand on them - to make room for the Sky Movies HD Channels to launch on an later date.

It is all the non Sky movie channels that are moving. They are moving down to be closer to the existing Sky movie channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Please forgive an old man if he has got it all wrong, but I was under the impression not everybody could get the VM HD channels until this security thingy we have have new cards for has been implemented. Is this fully rolled out yet? If not, it is hardly surprising VM are keeping quiet about more HD channels following the outcry when it was discovered some people could not receive them.
Presumably, once this is fully up and running we could be in for pleasant surprises.

All digital customers have the choice of going HD with VM. The NGTV rollout completed at the end of May.

Not true anymore, alot of negotiating is going on in regards to HD channels. Remember there is a target of 20-30 channels this year
