Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
HD Channels on Virgin Media update:
I have been told to remove the information I has on my list on History HD and Eurosport HD.
When I get more info on any new channels - SD or HD - that are coming to Virgin Media I will let you know via this thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
ESPN 2 would be a great way of broadcasting more live sport and showing repeats of previously shown live games. Setanta had two channels and showed a similar amount of sport, so I don't see why ESPN won't go for a second.

That is how Virgin stop testing them weeks ago.

I think ESPN 2 will probably happen. After all, they are getting a lot of stuff right now and will probably get more before long and they won't have the room to show everything on a single channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I think getting ESPN 2 is a good idea, but don't forget the channel could come easy for ESPN, but trying to get it onto VM is like trying to build a house without the foundation, its hard.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
isn't there a issue with getting EPG slots on Sky at the moment? Could ESPN Classic become ESPN2 over the weekends instead?

OR
ESPN can buy an EPG Channel from Setanta on Sky.
And Virgin can reuse Arsenal TV to broadcast ESPN 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Well, I'm watching 4HD, Ugly Betty and for the first time ever, I have been amazed with a HD broadcast. The picture quality is absolutely stunning. People say "The picture looks like its coming out of the screen" and most of the time they are probably lying to justify an expensive TV purchase (Usually LCD) but really, the picture looks fricking real. Superb.
I have a plasma by the way, colour balance, richness, reality of image, second to none.
