the broadcast of the match on sky sports on VM comes from the live broadcast via sky giving the lag.

live match - Sky studio - sky aired - VM headend in - VM headend out - aired.

as you can see there is alot more involved in getting the match to your tv than to your radio hence the delay.

Ah thank man clear as mud!!! One thing I'm wating for is Sky Sports HD Channel to come on Virgin Media any idea when it comming.

To describe it as "bitching" is to trivialise the level of feeling that people have about this issue.

The fact that so many people have reacted to this demonstrates that there is strong feeling about this. I sincerely hope that those people that feel that we should just let it happen without protest (legitimate as those sentiments are) wont bury those of us that feel that we shouldnt just shut-up about feeling hard done by. I might disagree with "you" (meant genericaly) but I really do respect the fact that you are entitled to your opinion. I just feel that we are also entitled to ours. This is about what is "comming soon" to VM, what better place to say "but not to everybody".... As I have said previously all I want is to be treated fairly..... I know that the "roll out" wont happen similtunasoly for everybody, But those of us that dont recieve the same service as others shouldnt have to pay the same as others. I agree the HD channels should be realsed as quickly as possible for those that can recieve them. But if I cant get the channels I shouldnt have to pay for them. And before people start quoting "these are free channels so you cant complain" they are NOT free channels - If I stopped paying VM my subscription I wouldnt get ANY of the channels. I pay well over £1000 per year for my services, if I am going toget a lesser service than others paying the same or less I think I am entitled to be slightly ticked off.

I have said before and I will say again, I am really not bothered about the HD channels, what I am bothered about is that VM dont care about me as a cutomer enought to treat me fairly.

I wouldnt dream of going back to SKY (heaven forbid!!) I am happy with the quality of service I get from VM, I love the BB I get, BUT that doesent mean that I think that to announce new HD channels without mentioning that we wont all get them is fair.... If I cant get it I want a reduced fee for the time I cant get it. Not much - even if it was only a couple of pounds I would at least feel that I was being treated with fairenss..... Yes I konw that sounds like I have thrown my dummy out of the pram (to quote another poster) but actually I believe in standing up for what I believe even though you might not agree with me, it is not trivial..........

This is my first post after many years as a Virgin (Blueyonder) customer.
I just have to say that living in Birmingham I am not happy. If it is anything like the roll out of the BB roll out we will be last.
I am hoping that they will put the start of V from SF HD on demand in HD for those of us that have to wait till June like they did for True Blood when they added FX HD.
But one thing I can't understand is If SF HD is replacing Diva Why is it not across the whole network.
Also we had an update about week ago, SW 4.01, does that have anything to do with NGTV. Thanks in advance.

Welcome man, Same here i understand your are angry . We have to wait for two months that bloody long time. That mean no Eurosport HD till June i believe, so i will miss Moto GP on HD Damn.

Lots of paranoia in Brum then. Don't worry, NGTV rollout isn't the same as the BB rollout and Birmingham will not be last.

Hang on there is some irony going on now, if Virgin weren't thinking of the customer then NGTV would not exist and the dirty freeloaders would still exist in Leeds and the like. However because Virgin are determined to get rid of the thieving gimps, they had to implement NGTV which takes time. NGTV also helps pave the way for getting IPTV rolled out (yes I know I said rolled out). So just because you can't get a few channels in the short term, in the long term these essential updates WILL benefit all of us. Up untill a few weeks ago there was a greater imbalance between what people could/couldn't get owing to the great telewest/ntl divide. People whined about that and now that it is being integrated people are still whining. Quit it will you!!! Yes you are entitled to your opinions but surely you aren't narrow minded enought to think these changes arent for the greater good and once complete we will have an altogether much better service. Think of the population who can't even get Virgin TV and owing to planning constraints can't get satellite either. They don't have a choice and are stuck with freeview. Now I know they dont pay for that service but that doesn't stop them being gutted that they cant have oodles of HD and the like. At least we have a choice of which TV service to use.

This is the coming soon to Virgin TV (2010) thread isnt it? If so then all be it in June 2010 the channels are coming in 2010. therefore case closed they are coming soon in 2010 and that is all we need to know. Stop winging <-----This paragraph doesn't quite make sense, can someone help me here? (I'm trying to say please can we get back on topic)
