Wow with your sky fanboy talk I already thought you were with them
Anyway yeah they maybe some average channels but it's a good start from vm (if true). Nothing for me but loads of people will be delighted with them

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
discovery should be in place of history, history is mainly old footage in awful quality so not much benefit in hd, whereas discovery would be far more worthy.

Arthur has stated he has both services - what that means is anyone's guess.

I'm sure Discovery will come later on, it's a given. It may come in this batch, considering History HD is listed twice.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
to tell the truth we all should know that we ware going to get a line up like VM is testing currently.
i know that out of the testing line up i will use 2 channels regular which are Eurosport HD and FX HD all the rest are bonus to me.
Media Boy has stated that the second History HD channel may end up being Bio HD maybe he knows something we dont.
like has been entioned the current testing line HD line up is a decent start and more will come in time lets just hope we get them launched to customer soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Possible channels that second History HD channel could be, are:
* Channel 4 HD
* ITV HD
* Sci Fi HD
* Bio. HD
* Luxe.tv HD (hope not)
* Rush HD
* Discovery HD
* Nat Geo Wild HD
* Crime & Investigation HD
* Disney Cinemagic HD
Some are more likely than others, of course.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
What channels were people expecting in HD? Its unlikely that Sky were ever going to give them to VM in the first place, so there isn't that many left.
People are moaning about no HD, then when VM add 6 HD channels for testing, people still moan
I don't think VM can win with people on here

You think people moan on here,visit digital spy some people on there make people on here look like amateurs.
Seriously are people ever going to be happy,What people seemingly want is skys tv service delivered over cable!!!!! Forgetting that sky do not offer a proper vod service.
Myself i am really not that bothered with HD so any channels as and when they appear will be welcome.
