Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV - Page 56

muppetman11 · 15-11-2010, 14:36

Gave in last night and ordered Sky Sports and HD Premium , I watched the Bears vs Vikings game and have to say the PQ knocked the arse off ESPN HD Monday night football. Is it unusual for the Sunday night NFL games to be on Sky Sports HD 2 as I thought it was normally Sky Sports 3. What channel do the Thursday night games come on as I see the Bears vs Dolphins on this Thursday is Sky Sports 2 HD. Will Virgin ever get 3 and 4 in HD ?

Just buy Five/Channel 5 off the pervert. Its cheaper, doesn't mess up EPG's and gets rid of the rubbish shown on there.

But really in the day of Digital TV 'Channel 6' seems more marketing apposed to being actually useful.

I am thinking maybe ''The new look'' Galaxy will be on DAB, Virgin and Sky only with Capital using the FM Radio Channels.

Thanks Media Boy, No Offence to you BUT:

I see Virgin Media would rather launch Asian channels than Sky and ITV channels in HD

Not sure if this is legit or not, and the fact that I have not seen anyone else post this here or on DS makes me think not but this was posted at another forum that I visit

I think it looks quite nice and much better then what we currently have.

Edit: Okay I see Nialli posted this on his blog earlier in the day.

Not really. They want a unified service first.
