Initially, the rumour was that the exclusive deal was for 12 or 18 months, following which original programming for ITV Encore would kick in. On that basis, we wouldn't miss out on any content.

However, the two years that you mention is a different proposition. Where did you hear that?

UPDATE: I've just established that ITV have established a '4 year partnership with Sky', so at worse, this period of exclusivity may have another 3 years to run!

So much for 'rumours'!!

Media Boy Sources has confirmed that Lifetime HD tests has appeared on Virgin Media.

Our Virgin Sources say Lifetime HD is set to launch in October on Virgin Media.

MB Views: Has Media Boy HQ work out Lifetime HD channel number?

We think Lifetime HD will launch on Virgin Channel 294 but,

We also think Virgin Media may move Lifetime to Virgin Channel 208 with Lifetime HD launching on Virgin Channel 209.

That will keep Virgin Channel 274 free for CI to move down one at an later date so that CI HD can launch.

All views are of Media Boy HQ and no one else.

Two years was per the well-informed theone2k10.

theone2k10 · 24-09-2015, 01:28

4k channel from Discovery is in the works according to a source.

blue666666 · 24-09-2015, 02:54

does that mean you heard something about a 4k virgin box too or just the channel theone2k10

Ultimate.Conj · 24-09-2015, 10:13

I think Tivo are working on a 4K box, it will probably hit the US before VM take any orders.

In the USA maybe , I can't see it arriving here anytime soon unless they strike a startup partnership with one of the UK platforms (BT, Sky or VM).
