Thanks in advance.

Anyone with the Â£7 on the extra STBs will have it removed automatically

Well we shall see Matthewuk.

BenMcr · 03-10-2011, 11:32

To me that reads as two ways, either as Matthewuk thinks or as Premier Sports could be making big content announcements and are seperately they are tweeting to Virgin Media 'You know you want us'

Oh so much hope relying on Twitter titbits here and there.

Channel 890 update.

Since Saturday I have seen that channel 890 is not copying Channel 100.

And is now replaying an ad for an movie called ''Paul''.

My insider told me last week that Channel 890 is just an ''new frequency test''.

Media Boy what do think you this This great news or have i misread

Quote:

I asked that office myself and they said there are no plans to launch any new channels and the only confirmed channels are the UKTV HD channels as well as ITV HD channels and Sky Atlantic is still to be negotiated with the broadcaster.
Reason for the lack of channels is because some channels are restricted to Sky only due to Sky carriage contract terms other reasons are because Virgin Media don't feel that there is a big demand for them.

ITV HD and Sky Atlantic are still in negotiated with Virgin Media.

HD Boy · 03-10-2011, 12:04

Could the big content announcements be they launching a HD channel ? Maybe Virgin Media are trying to get a deal which might include a HD channel
