Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Virgin1 to become Channel One on Friday 3rd September 2010
Quote:
Channel One, which is available on Freeview, Virgin Media and Sky as a free-to-air service, will relaunch on Friday 3 September backed by a bolstered schedule and a marketing campaign.
The channel will be broadcasting the recent remake of 1980s alien invasion series V, first seen in the UK earlier this year on SyFy.

Surely if your saving £29.50 on VIP than XL and soon to get £1 discount. I should save a bit, including Sky Movies aswell plus 50 MB broadband.
Please, could you give me a comparison list between XL and the New VIP 50. And the prices.

It's a two-way deal. We shall wait and see.

I would say the Comedy Central HD story is true, as the channel listing on VM from Electric Magazine's August issue lists Comedy Central HD

Comedy central hd will launch on the 1st September

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
I guess it will be a while until we get Sky 1 HD as that is listed in the press release but they haven't announced a date. I was hoping to watch Karl Pilkington in "An Idiot Abroad" in HD which starts this month

If you read the press release it says that with Sky1 HD, Sky Arts HD and now Comedy Central HD Virgin Media will have over 30 channels. With Sky News and SS news this would mean we have 31 channels.
Of course the other 2 channels could be anything.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Here's a random question now for the future.
Would it be possible to have both SD and HD variant of a Channel on one number.
e.g. ITV1 HD and ITV1 on 103.

Yes, but all the STB's would have to be either V-HD or V+HD

Ah, so this won't be possible then:
The V Samsung Box shows ITV1, whereas the V+ HD box shows ITV1 HD.

Now that would be a superb idea. If only, thats all I can say.
Save a lot of space too.
