At least thats how I read it, again no disrespect to Technix who on the whole has a good accuracy on his postings but he got this one wrong which he has admitted to so kudos to that.

I think the correct post to read regarding this would be #670, where Technix suggests that it was based on a hunch.. not quite the same as "made up".

Wishful thinking a lot of the time perhaps.. It is amazing how quickly a rumour can turn into a claim that some re-quoted information actually came from within Virgin Media. More often than not, a quick check of the original comment will prove that the source wasn't VM at all.

What next Sky1 HD moving to Channel 119?

Aha! now that you mention it, it would also make sense to move Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD to 119/120 if Sky Atlantic is added. Keeping the main channels in the most prominent positions on the EPG.

Well in his original post when he said it was coming he didn't exactly suggest it was a "hunch" either

Anyway splitting hairs here end of the day whether it was made up, guess or hunch it unfortunately appears Expectation of universal Hd imminent arrival attributed to the original poster from DS appears to be false (as Howard has kindly shared on here before with universal response)

Cheers bud,hopefully there will be a change of stance with universal regards the hd channel and vm with all there new program's.bear in mind my last response was in July from both universal and vm,but looking at the post the other day someone posted with universal response it looks like all there giving is a standard response.i prefer it to sky Atlantic I currently record more universal hd program's than Atlantic

Not really splitting hairs, saying that it was made up is suggesting that it was a deliberate attempt to mislead people. There are many comments based on hunches and guesswork on coming soon threads, it's not that unusual. Ultimately the only word we can totally depend on is that of VM but as they don't generally announce anything in advance, we have coming soon threads instead.

There's certainly a lot of good programmes on Universal at the moment, they appear to have upped their game. It would, indeed, be nice to be able to watch them in HD on VM.
