Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Virgin do seem to have come out all guns blazing. And the speed at which they managed to sign the ESPN deal, to not only include HD but free on the XL package is truly astounding.

I really ho Sci Fi HD will be in the cards sometime soon in the future.

Must admit, compared to recent months, I'm actually now happy to be following this thread again. I cannot wait for all the HD channels and on demand content! :-)

Now for the next big question. When are we getting 5.1 surround sound HD radio?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
...yes, if you mean, will the channels be in 5.1 sound, they will. But if you do mean radio stations, then no.

No doubt VM are talking to other broadcasters, but remember that at the moment the network still has limited capacity. So consider these HD channel launches a soft launch, if you will. Now once all analogue is turned off to all areas, then there will be oodles of capacity for lots of nice things.

My God I do hope so! I'm really eager to see if they broadcast sports like baseball and NASCAR (even if it's not the sprint cup series) over here.
Or is it going to be the usual cr*p like soccer, cricket and golf! Hope not..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
According to the statement on the ESPN America website, yes. The ESPN UK website makes no mention of US sports in HD though, only soccer.

Quote:
ESPN America statement
We recently announced the launch of a new ESPN channel in the UK to begin airing on 3rd August. Along with Barclays Premier League matches and the best of international sport, the channel will offer Live American sports which are currently available on ESPN America including Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and NCAA sports - both in standard and high definition.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Cheers. Obviously the main draw is watching Prem footy in HD but American sports would be a nice bonus.

Are the 3 tomorrow going to be a midnight launch?

Wow,

5 pages of postings in one day!

Then again this new is brilliant - a fantastic move on VM behalf and shuts up people like me that didn't believe that we would get more HD within a year!!!

Right from underneath Sky's nose too!!

Brilliant!
