Eden HD PQ is fantastic and the content shows HD off.

As ever it depends on the material but overall the PQ has been as good as Discovery, to my eye anyway.
Of course unlike Discovery HD it is a direct simulcast of the SD channel though so isn't 100% native.

Thanks mate, though about to be shut down by Virgin Media staff mafia and the mods on here. Seems as though is no freedom of speech on here and Virgin staff hiding behind their user names can say what they want to customers as long as they put a disclaimer on their profiles.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
Can't be bothered trawling through all the pages since I was last on, but am I right to take it that virgin didn't launch any channels today? Beyond parody!! Joke as a evolving tv provider!

Past experience suggested it was very unlikely anything would happen on a Wednesday, and on the 30th of the month.

Have heard it's difficult to launch any channels of note if it's a bit rainy, maybe that explains nothing in the last 6 months. Ah well maybe the summer

To be fair, it was rumours on here, not a official VM announcement

The rumour channel launches today was given to me last weekend by an Virgin Media viewer.
