Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
But Virgin says it’s still almost £1 cheaper than BT which hikes its monthly line rental costs up 30p to £13.90 from April 28.
What about the call charges ?

It might have been BBC One HD which (I think) was in October.

This has nothing to do with "Coming Soon to Virgin TV" - if you have comments on other subjects, post them in the appropriate threads.

I have absolutely no evidence of this but just have a feeling that perhaps some or maybe all of the ITV HD channels might appear soon. I cannot see that they would be that expensive to add and would be a popular addition.
Crozier seemed at pains to stress that the deal they have isn't exclusive with Sky when he was interviewed in a paper the other day.
Just a thought.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
Does anyone know why the UKTV HD channels are not available on Virgin?

You do realise that Hugh is not a Virginmedia employee.
We can only tell you information that is in the public domain as a lot of what you want to know is business sensitive, and we are not going to tell you that kind of information as we would lose our jobs.

Don't know really, I have emailed UKTV who susbsequently told me to email VM who subsequently just said they are always reviewing their offer.
Maybe they will join as of course VM own 50% of UKTV. Perhaps UKTV want too much money for them or perhaps they are considered not popular enough.
The short answer I suppose is we don't know.
