There's no mention in the press release of it being "exclusive", and Sky normally bang on about that. It is though subscription-free - I can't see that £10 a month charge being justifiable when Virgin are offering a dozen HD channels now (and none of them HD showcases like Luxe) to XL customers.

In all honesty, despite my moans about lack of HD, i see no real value in VM going all out to try and get 5HD... i mean really...who has watched ANYTHING on channel 5 in the past 2 days?

There are FAR more inmportant HD channels to get IMO!

No news on History HD coming - yet.

But I know the following.

-Virgin are freeing up Channel 235 soon in all areas.
-I have been told that Virgin are set to confrim something very soon.

Gold wouldnt work but Dave would i think with its endless re-runs of top-gear (which are now in HD) plus the original content could be recorded in HD and scaled down for SD side of things.

but like i said most of the UKTV going HD would be a very slim chance

Yeah but you can ask the same question about a lot of the crappy channels virgin have added in hd over the past few weeks (E4HD, Film4HD, ScifiHD etc), there is always someone out there that wants to watch any given channel

[Acidphire21]

yea the main point is VM are giving us the option.
