As soon as $ky get rid of £10 HD charge and call out fee to fix the box etc - Its goodbye Virgin and Hello $ky. Its real, Its damn real. And Im not Kurt Angle  |
But Virgin aren't holding back 200 channels! On Sky the channels pay sky to get an epg slot, on virgin, virgin have to pay them to get a carriage agreement. Thats the reason new channels always appear on sky first, they have the widest possible audience and therefore gain the most from advertisement revenue. Sky have no choice generally speaking but to accept a channel onto its platform, virgin is a closed private company who has the choice of what to carry and when

But do Sky offer you TV choice on demand, free EPSN, over 2000 music videos, and more than 500 films to watch at any time? (yes the advert has been imprinted in my brain when it says filmflex 500 films)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Do Virgin have any plans to add more foreign channels to their line up? I'd love to see German channels such as RTL, ZDF and SAT1.

There's already 12, so 20 would be extremely low considering there are 10 Sky Movie HD channels alone, add to that 2 Sports, then ESPNA, Five, Film 4 HD, and you're looking at 15 more. There's also the possibility of the Basics HD, which is another 4, so that'd take it to 41 in total.

This will boost Virgin's competitiveness in the increasingly popular HD market, currently dominated by Sky. Virgin will gain access to a total of 17 new HD channels, which will help boost Sky's revenue stream.
