@ Alan Fry and HD Boy

I have seen no list of channels set to launch on Virgin TV from my insiders only rumours on the web.

My understanding of the situation is ...

BBC HD is to close. It was a compendium of HD content from other BBC channels but never a simulcast of any one BBC channel. It was a stop-gap measure until HD versions of the primary channels could be accommodated and launched on all platforms.
BBC Two HD is to launch as a HD simulcast of BBC Two. It is therefore a new channel but with the same content as its SD counterpart (apart from regional variations on some platforms) just as is the case with BBC One.
Some of the original programming on BBC One and BBC Two is to be replaced by content from other BBC channels. This will apply to both the SD and HD versions of BBC One and BBC Two.
BBC Two HD is not simply a renaming of BBC HD as the content will differ significantly from that of BBC HD but be the same as that of BBC Two SD.

I agree with the content not being the same - I just think that 'new channel'= one which is added to the existing ones and not the rebranding of an existing channel. That's just me anyway.

I just visited their website, some very interesting programming on that channel.

10:00pm - Beverly Hills ***** (Beverly Hills ***** - sexual desire, lust, passion and infidelity. That means it must be time for a movies4men late night film.)

11:30pm - Killer Sex (Killer Sex - sexual desire, lust, passion and infidelity. That means it must be time for a movies4men late night film.)

1:00am - Assault of The Killer Bimbos (Three luscious girls flee boredom and murder in a high-speed cross country chase. Heading for Mexico the trio must deal with unwanted attention from adoring men.)

Then at 2:30am I was shocked to see Exit The Dragon - Enter The Tiger. I thought WTF! This channel has bestiality movies too?

It turns out it's a documentary about the death of Bruce Lee.

You do not want Movies 4 Men - They cut movies that M4M broadcast.

Er, what's a V+HD Box?

I thought the only choices in recent memory were ...

V Box: no HD, no PVR ... which I currently have
V HD: HD, no PVR
V+: HD, PVR ... which I'd like to have
TiVo 500GB: amazing functionality, greater storage, greater cost
TiVo 1TB: amazing functionality, even greater storage, even greater cost

The full name for the V+ is 'V+ HD'

The front of the V+ box clearly states it's a "V+Box HD".

Yes but they still seem to be frightened to take on Sky as they seem to be purchasing smaller sports rights.

Not so much frightened denphone i think in certain countries SKY/ESPN have a close relationship which means they simply will not take each other on in any meaningful way.
