Media Boy HQ knows what may happen base on three DNP orders.

We hope to get that new one lifted soon.

I think you should rank your DNP orders as 'nothing to write home about'; 'average' and 'blow your socks off'.

Then we'd know whether to get excited about it or not and you won't have revealed anything!

It's not the absence of news, is it? It's confirmation of the possibility that there might be news - nothing more, nothing less. And it's not dressed up as anything it isn't, either. From somebody who is still getting excited about a snippet of apparent news from over a year ago, and posting almost as fact what you have extrapolated from it, I think this is more than a little rich!

I'm watching something on syfy hd at the moment and they are heavily trailing shows on Universal. Are they from the same stable? I'm really hoping Universal hd might be one of the dnp's.

No new channels has been confirmed as set to launch for all viewers.

But Bizasia is saying GEO News, GEO Tez and GEO UK all may launch by March 2015 on Virgin Media.

WorldBox is set to add "EuroChannel", "BFM TV", "Ukraine Today" and "CTC" all in early 2015.

Having seen a lengthy trailer of Fortitude during the ad break on last nights football I am not in the least bothered I wont be seeing it. Looks like another load of c**p from SA.

Why is it so difficult to go these remaining variant HD channels, are these broadcasters holding out for an unrealistic amount of money to be on VM TV platform?

andy_m · 29-01-2015, 09:35

I assume Virgin have signed multi-year deals with the channel owners which have included the hd variants of their channels at the time the deal was signed, but we'll have to wait for the deals in place to finish and be renegotiated before any hd variants that have popped up in the meantime can be added??

Is that right? Was syfy hd available when Virgin dealt with Universal, but not Universal hd?

Or did they do a deal which included some, but not all, of a channel owner's hd variants?

According to WiKI Universal Channel HD, launched on Sky channel 220 (as the Hallmark Channel HD) on 28 June 2010. I doubt that the VM deal with Universal is that old ,so maybe it was an exclusive with Sky for sometime.

Virgin Radio could return to airwaves in digital reboot.
