Great job by Virgin. If and when all the above channels launch there isn't too many top quality HD channels left for them too add. Minus channels that SKY are holding back, what is really left to get? In fact it's not unthinkable that SKY News HD and SKY Sports News HD might arrive soon too. Exciting times for fans of HD!

Well they may have took their time to deliver, but it is better than nothing.
I think Virgin are upping the ante, especially since YouView is now on the scene with BT and TalkTalk offering TV services.
There's still a lot more potential that can be unlocked with the TiVo service. Film streaming services, expansion of music on demand etc.
Exciting times

Can a YouView box really compete with a TiVO anyway. YouView boxes can only currently record the channels provided by the Freeview aerial, & not the broadband streamed channels. Watching one streamed channel while recording another is a non starter.
Be interesting to see if they encounter the same problems with multiroom streaming rights as Virgin have with the TiVO.

Why? I have seen the shows available on that channel and the overall channel looks incredibly boring.
I wanna see good channels such as Sky Atlantic, Food Network and Scuzz on cable. Also, I quite fancy that holidays channel called Holiday + Cruise on Sky EPG 284.

Everyone likes a luxurious holiday, right?
