Re: HD Channels you want on virgin media August/September 2011
No news channels HD or SD are set to launch on Virgin Media anytime soon (AFAIK)
But Virgin are in talks with ITV for ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD and ITV4 HD to launch on Virgin.

Re: HD Channels you want on virgin media August/September 2011
Considering jtaylor runs these threads, remembers to add a poll and where the shift key is, why are you doing this?

Re: HD Channels you want on virgin media
I voted for ITV 4 as there is now quite a bit of sports coverage on that channel some if not all in HD,ESPN america,and History.
Sky sports HD3/4 would be good as subs that just take sky sports HD, only get two HD channels for their cash HD1/2.

The ITV HD channels are a possibilty,Sky AtlanticHD probably is a non starter although its quite possible in my opinion that once Sky Atlantic goes into the paid for sky packs,the SD version could appear on vm at some point.

virgin media are in "talks" with Sky get Sky Atlantic SD and HD

Hi Martin
I'm not able to comment on individual channels we have not announced we are launching. As per my previous note to you, we talk to the major providers of channels on a regular basis. HD is very much a part of those negotiations. Rest assured we are talking to Sky about Sky Atlantic (SD and HD)
Kind regards

Virgin media are always in talks for channels they were for sky atlantic at launch!But surprise surprise could not get it ,so although they will always be in negotiations publicly,its wether sky think its worth it to them to have sky atlantic HD or for that matter the SD version appear on cable,history tells us that the SD version may well appear at some point,but sky like to keep a little something for themselves so they can say "get it all,but only on sky".

sky had no intention of letting vm have channel at launch why you think they spend millions on adverts well before launch saying it sky exclusive cant blame vm when sky witholding the channel there is more chance of vm getting it after sky change there packs next month vm were never going to get it before then
