Their website confirms this too. http://www.warnertv.com/

I hope VM can now add abc TV on demand to replace WarnerTV. It's already available through Talktalk And BT. NBC content seems to have disappeared too but should be returning if it's true that SyFy and Universal are due to be added in on demand.

They are obviously going to be getting more buck for their content it seems.

No News update on the Viacom deal yet.

But Virgin must be not using Channels 183 - 186 for something.

Here is my EPG Channels lineup for the missing Viacom Channels - if they do launch:

183. Comedy Central Extra +1
185. MTV HD
186. MTV +1
199. BET
200. BET
308/318. MTV Music
309/319. MTV Classic
310. MTV Live
711. Nick
712. Nick HD
713. Nick +1
714. Nick Jr.
715. Nick Jr. +1

If's, doesn't mean it will happen for sure, we've been here before, my policy is wait and see.

I think/hope Virgin will have got E! HD and Universal HD as part of the NBC Universal deal the other month which saw The Style Network added but they want to add a lot of channels at once so they waited for the Viacom deal. Like when the only HD channel they had was BBC HD and then they added several HD channels at once from other providers

Is The BBC about to relaunch BBC HD?

I'm guessing by the fact they're doing BBC Red Button HD they've finally been given the DTT HD slot by whoever controls the bandwidth, after the temporary lease of it to them for the Olympics.

That's the way this forum works, unfortunately, as VM are poor at announcing forthcoming channels. Media Boy pretty much keeps us going as best he can.

Does anyone see any harm in VM agreeing a carriage deal for LoveFilm to expand their selection of On Demand content available to customers? Surely it's not in direct competition if it offers exclusive content as well as "shared" rights content, ie blockbusters, etc.

Personally I would be happy to add on £5 per month to my sub to get more quality on demand content. Surely it wasn't free for VM anyway, or if it was, then no wonder some providers are making alternative arrangements with the likes of NetFlix and Lovefilm.
