It's listed on 930 but tuning to it shows a message "Sorry, this channel isn't available right now. Please wait, or try later" Nothing on 937
That's in the Camden area off Haringey

The following is from an Virgin insider:

STV have told Virgin Media that they hope to launch STV HD on Virgin TV before the start of the World Cup.
|
Just over 50 days to launch an HD Channel?

If the only material they will broadcast at first is the WC, then ITV will supply the stream to them and if they don't have HD play out facilities (which they probably don't) they can get a thrid party to do that. Agreed it is not a lot of time but plenty of ways for them to get it up an running quickly.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Found this on the Freeview website regarding STV HD
Hope everyone can view this picture okay. Nothing for sure but possibly 15th June launch? Looks like roughly 50 days until launch could be correct. Would be great to see it on Virgin then also

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Yeah that is 2011. Just noticed the Freeview HD rollout won't be completed in my area until June 2011. That's probably why none of the channels will be available until then. Wish I'd spotted that! The rollout is complete in Glasgow. I'll go back just now and see what HD channels you can expect to receive in the Glasgow post code area, and when STV HD is due.
Okay so I've just checked the Glasgow area which is showing STV HD available March 2010, which is clearly not the case. Sorry about any confussion. I'll take info from Freeview with a pinch of salt from now on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
Will we ever see Sky Sports HD and/or Sky Movies HD on Virgin? With the upcoming 3DTV from Sky, switching is very tempting at the moment. A friend just got the deal of all deals from Sky too.

I just hope we can get STV HD in London, as there are plenty of Scots living in London,.
