Yes. On the one hand we have your 60% reliable source and then we have Sirius on Digital Spy indicating one of the new channels looks to be SKy Sports 3 HD. Interesting which way it will go!

Yeah it totally sucks.
One thing I've enjoyed recently however is History and Discovery Channel branching out into historical drama programming. I enjoyed Klondike on Discovery, Vikings on History is simply fantastic and History's Men Who Built America was a great piece of story telling.

I'm going on my guts and with technix,
It's 3 HD channels so my money is sky sports 3, 4 and F1 in Hd
Sky sport news is not a premium channel in the eyes of sky so I reckon that would come with sky basic negotiation.

Technix is usually spot on with his predictions generally.

Sorry. I didn't understand your previous reply. They did with SS1 & SS2 HD (and Movies HD). We had several weeks to decide if we wanted to pay the £7 before they were launched.
I'm questioning myself now, am I remembering it wrong?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
I would have thought Sky News HD would have launched by now considering BBC News HD has been on for some time now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
And you can be rest assured the fine drama's that were on ITV other channels will now be on this new exclusive channel on the Sky platform thus Virgin customers will not have access to them any more.

Can't see this channel doing too well to be honest, but you never know.
