Virgin Media’s digital TV customers will be the first to watch Film4 in glorious High Definition (HD) as the channel launches exclusively on Virgin Media this summer.

E4 HD is expected to launch on Virgin Media in April.

So E4 HD is due in April and Film 4 HD is not launching at all, until summer and so cannot be on VM until then.

Well that was unexpected out of all the non Sky HD channels this was the last I thought we would get so there was no exclusive with Sky over E4HD. April is shaping up to be a killer month now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Cack channels? E4 carries some the best US shows on TV at the moment with Glee, How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory.

Do you think that this is a shift in VM policy and that they will get more involved in getting other channels off the ground in HD?

Just put IMO in front next time as not everyone thinks their crap.
IMO they are above average but not crap. Each to their own.
