Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
I've noticed SKY are advertising that next years Champions League games are being shown on SKY Sports 2 & SKY Sports 4. Sneaky!

Possibly a deal involving CH5 might be included as well as Five's current owners want to sell it.

Sky sports dont have any TV rights to the World Cup,

Why on earth is that sneaky ? SS1,2,3 & 4 are all available to VM.
Sky have always used SS2 as their main Champions League coverage channel...and they use other channels and/or the red button for coverage of other games that have less interest for the masses.......if Sky, or any other broadcaster have spent their money buying the rights, they are at liberty to show them on what channel(s) they want to suit their commercial goals.
I assume you are coming from a HD perspective ???

I think he is.
As we will be getting Sky Sports 1 and 2 HD, so I think he is assuming that Sky are being sneaky by putting some on SS4 HD (Sky only)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
As far as I remember Champions League was on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports Extra this season, and as Sky Sports 4 is what Sky Sports Extra was I can see no change. I seem to recall on Champions League nights that Sky Sports 1 would normally have Gillette Soccer Special on

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

Gems TV 2 to close on Virgin TV?
The ofcom has posted on their web site that Gems TV have sold their Sky EPG Channel for Gems TV 2 to TLCS Hgems TV (UK) Limited.
Info from Ofcom ( http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/ifi/tvlic...monthly/052010)

I understand that cost is a big factor, but anyone with half a brain would know that HD was "Coming Soon" 
Utv plc is not a small co. and have been going from 1959.
I'm just very unhappy with even the lack of Press Releases in regards to HD from UTV
