Small number of HD variant channels
More Ultra HD content

Please let me know if I am missing something,

Your sanity?

No i think you summed it all up apart from itv encore and AMC, i think 2017 will be more about on demand content and apps rather than channels.
Insight hd will launch (rumour) on vm in first quarter of 2017 this will be VMs first linear Ultra hd channel.
Also a big congrats to Den on him posting the most posts on this thread this year

Why, do you know something we don't about Sky launching UHD content on Virgin Media soon?

We at theone2k10 headquarters have heard rumours but for now that's all they are, will post more info as i get it subject to any dnp orders etc.

I think MB deserves a big shout out for his work on these threads and having the patience to keep track of how many posts people make on this thread.

Any hint of Front Runner TV coming to VM? Seem to be on all the other platforms. They just announced a regular British ice hockey highlights show and I quite fancy that.

Coming Soon to Virgin Media (2017) will launch in the last week of December only on Cable Forum.

We will reveal launch date later this month.

Great work MediaBoy and well done denphone for being top of the posts.

For those who say no channels launched this year but we still got price rises, I think the new channels listed by you including Universal HD, Spike, TruTV, Movie Mix, Movies 4 Men, Sky Sports Mix, 4SevenHD, Hayu and Vevo show it's not been a terrible year. The fact is aside from AMC and Sky Atlantic, we've got the best channels so there's very few more to add.

Well done, MB...keep up the good work..

Let's hope for some UHD content for 2017 :-)

Of the missing FTA/FTV channels, Viceland looks to be on its way. Still no YourTV though.

Aren't there still one or two movie channels missing??

Not heard anything about this coming to VM.

It's a bit of an oddity this channel. It's available on Freesat, Freeview and Sky but doesn't always show the same thing on satellite and Freeview!
