I would think the last bit, about the Sky channels is very unlikely. I doubt anybody in cs would know yet anyway. It would be nice if a few more HD channels were coming by June. That much is possible I would think.

I would take whatever they say over the phone with a pinch of salt. They're obviously going to say more channels are coming, it's their way of keeping your custom.

I'd take what their customer services say with a HUGE pinch of salt!

We all know that Eurosport HD is coming in April but no insiders has giving me an launch date for it yet.
An Insider has told me the name of one HD Channel that Virgin may launch soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
We can live in hope that those channels are coming sooner rather than later.
Weve all waited patiently for a couple of years now.
Well reasonably patiently! lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
What do you guys think the 7/8 channels will be?
ITV HD, E4 HD, History HD are a few of my guesses

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I really wouldn't bother speculating until it's official. There's no point in getting excited over it now, as that's what causes people to complain in a couple of months time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Possible confirmation that FX is going widescreen tomorrow as well as adding subtitles and audio description http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1214209
I guess that AD will be Sky only?
