Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
It's in HD on Sky Ch 462, Premier sports was freeview on Sky last week but I can't check at the moment if it's still the case
Update - not any more!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Media Boy Sources say tonight that BT Sport Europe may launch on Virgin channel 522 and BT Sport Europe HD may launch on Virgin channel 528. We have been told that there are a lot of (around 20) EPG changes set to happen next week. ALL INFO MAY CHANGE.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
As I said before - I would expect the BT channels to appear in the following order:
BT Sports 1
BT Sports Europe
BT Sports 2
BT Sports/ESPN
So there may be two blocks in the EPG with HD and SD channels grouped together.
This is what BT have done on all other platforms.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Well let's hope they leave room in the epg for MUTV HD, it's Utd v Barcelona tomorrow night, a match that deserves to be in HD, there are people out there willing to pay extra for this service and it is being denied them.

Think you've got more chance of getting Atlantic, I'll be watching in HD on my Sky box- well worth the extra £1. Still not sure about Paddy in HD  .

MUTV-HD is only available on Sky at the moment, not sure that its exclusive (MB may know) - SD has been available on VM for years.

VM does have more control over its use of slot numbers than its competitors though so may decide to just have a singke block. By contrast, Sky's slots are available to the highest bidder and BT TV's slots are decided as part of the YouView consortium of five companies including BT.

Not at all when it was launching it said launching on Virgin media on mufc.com, the problem was/is that Utd don't want customers to pay extra for the HD variation, they don't on sky, it was obvious that VM wasn't going to launch an HD channel for no extra money.
Ps unlike other club channels MUTV is fully owned by the club they are free to strike their own deals and bid for rights to other sporting events like any other channel, they have recently shown live international matches.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Sky customers wanting MUTV in HD do pay extra for the HD pack.
On VM the HD extra fee is only for the Sky channels - but on Sky you have to pay extra for all non-free HD channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Do we know how BT Sport Europe will be showing all 8 champions league matches at the same time (red button?) and if that will be available on VM?
