correct.

Maybe VM should charge everyone £10 for the access to all HD instead? VM's hands are tied on this one... it's Sky setting the wholesale price, they can't do anything about it.

They have provided as much HD as possible as inclusive to XL/VIP... with more to come, Sky1 HD, Sky arts HD etc.

+1

Will wait 2-3 weeks and then we will see if the increase in picture quality is really worth 7 quid/month.

Hi, i've just had a quick look and the cheapest bundle i can find with TV, Broadband, phone and Sky Sports HD is £44.49 is that correct ? I've attched a file of what i've added to the basket below.

Premier Sports looking for help to launch on Virgin Media.

Will Premier Sports be available on the Virgin platform?
Currently we are not available to view on Virgin. We are endeavouring to change this situation and would appreciate if customers would contact Virgin directly asking for Premier Sports to be made available.

Ex-Setanta Sports shareholder Michael O'Rourke also runs this channel.

The future looks bright.

@ the point of the Five HD Press release it states current HD count was 13 and a further 20 HD Channels including Sky Sports and Movies expected later this summer.

13 count = BBC, Living, ITV, C4, E4, FIVE, FX, SyFy, Discovery, Nat Geo, MTV, Eurosport and ESPN

20 count = Film 4, 2 x Sky Sports and 10 x Sky Movies -coming soon Sky1, Sky Arts 1&2

So that leaves 4 HD channels remaining - ESPN Americia is 100% and i think Bio, History and a Food TV Channel (Good Food or Food Network)

The person I spoke to today stated between 10-15 extra HD channels by end of the year so taking that we get the extra 7 above this still leaves another 3-8 HD channels to come by end of year.

BBC One HD we already know about. Sky News, Sky Sports News, Hallmark and Nat Geo Wild would be other obvious possibilities

All these extra HD channels and there will still be nothing worth watching haha.

What annoys me is the Virgin Advert saying you can save £13 a month compared to Sky, but in the small print says Sky price includes up to 20 meg broadband and evening and weekend calls, but with Virgin it costs £12.50 extra for broadband and £3.45 extra for evening calls.

So in fact it's not cheaper than Sky!
