Thanks the the link Chad. It's possible it's an old quote but I did read that same page a couple of days ago and there was no sign of that quote and infact they've added another line to it since I looked a few hours ago just noting VM's customers frustrations about missing out on some NHL games this year.

Also found this on Facebook from 6 hours ago when someone asked them about a possible VM deal "I believe we are moving in the right direction but still need everyone who wants us to contact them and request the channel." This at least makes it sound like there are some talks going on but i'm certainly not going to hold my breath when it comes to seeing PS on VM anytime soon.

Any chance of Discovery Science HD launching? Also is there any news on ITV finally getting Dolby Digital?

I forgot about E! HD being part of the NBC Universal family of channels.

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Personally I'd only ever watch the boxing on Premier Sports however for fans of NASCAR, NHL and Conference football the channel is a must. If Virgin and Premier could agree to get the channel into the XL package, that would be a great bonus for sports fans.

Keep us posted if you find out if any further progress is made. I'm always interested in sports rights, and sports channels, regardless of the TV platform or provider.

Hope that is is some channels that have a wide appeal - Disney Cinemagic from stand alone to XL, If I read the suggestion correctly would be most welcome in my house

That unlikey to happen as Disney Cinemagic was set up as an Add on Channel with Disney moves the rest to the XL Pack back in 2006 - It was the 1st deal Virgin Media (Then called NTL Telewest) sign.

But Disney Channel HD, Disney Junior + and Disney XD HD may launch in the XL pack.

I think Virgin are moving channels to new packages (And soon to move channels to new channel numbers) to make way for the following channels to appear:

Disney Cinemagic HD (Was listed on Virgin Media.com today)

Sorry I misinterpreted your post 483
