Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Oh I really don't know what to do now. I was contemplating subscribing to the sports package when they won the rights, and now it looks like they're actually going to have a good go at doing a proper job, which I can't say I was expecting. Is it worth £20 a month though...

@SkySportsF1 Can we get the channel in HD on Virgin Media?

@mexos We're working on that at the moment, so not sure yet.

"We're not coming to Freeview."

There goes the idea of £10/month for freeview customers

There's latency, pixelation and grainy, washed-out colour. What's going on with the bandwidth?

I am not keen on ITV2 HD, but i am more keen on ITV 3/4 HD (they show classic programmes in HD)

and anyway I was only suggesting a solution to the poor picture quality on ITV's SD channels!

ITV 2 is best out of the 3 (2,3 and 4) IMO

Sorry, it just that I am more keen on ITV programmes from the 60s, 70s and 80s rather than the 90s, 00s and 10s

Maybe I'm being a dweeb, but surely none of this is filmed in HD anyway so is irrelevant ?
