To be fair, you get precious little new channels coming to Virgin media so folk need to talk about something to keep the thread going.
I'm happy for boxing fans but I wish the same could be said for award winning US drama fans.

Well we had six or seven channels last month and the question is did the other major provider have that amount last month.

The other major provider had them already didn't they???
And those channels were very much minority interest.

You do not know what Virgin are up to.

Don't recall BoxNation themselves saying so, I thought it was more part of the speculation discussion after the Sky launch
Happy to be corrected if you can find an official reference from BoxNation saying otherwise

The article doesn't confirm how customers can add this channel to their package, and when they can add it from.
I assume from 10st December 2011, if you want the channel, you need to call Virgin directly? Or will it be possible to add this via My Virgin Media?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Hi, I'm unsure if this has been brought up elsewhere on this forum however within the BoxNation press release I noticed this:
Quote:
The arrival of this dedicated channel complements Virgin Media’s fantastic sporting line-up which already includes Sky Sports*
*Sky Sports 1 &2 only available in HD
|
Apologies if I am starting unnecessary speculation, although I presume this is just a typo and not a change in the pipeline?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
It's meaning out of all the Sky Sports channels available on Virgin, you can only get 1 & 2 in HD.
Nothing about them dropping the SD versions
Really the '*' should have been on

with many channels also available in high-definition
