This is the part I was referring too can they ?

V+HD is no longer available as a new install product. If you have a faulty V+HD box, then it will be replaced with a V+HD. We still have plenty for a good while yet.

I know but people are saying BBC2 HD is a new HD channel which it's not. It has just been renamed.

Yes and no.... BBC HD currently shows BBC3 and 4 stuff in HD too. Once it changes to BBC2 HD, then it will be a simulcast of BBC2 England in HD.

Virgin Media will no doubt have 45+ HD channels or even more by the time this "supposely new HD channel from the BBC" launches Which will likely be late 2012.
