You may have known everything included in MB's post but many of us didn't so the "we" doesn't really apply

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
Why o Why did I bother to go back to look at this. Will stick with my "Cox box" to watch the shows I cant wait to see when in the UK. Sorry but that list was really sad ( thats if it is even a real leak my guess is someone was sleeping & his fingers were put in warm water - will have to try that !!)

Bully for you. But how is that relevant to other people in the UK getting channels via VM?

And you knew this would happen at 2:26pm (post#2226)?
Face it, your story is in tatters isn't it? You seem to be claiming that everyone has to wait with baited breath for several hours for you to add stuff about a HQ, a blog and a generous portion of spelling mistakes / grammatical errors to nothing new in particular.
Or were you just feeling in need of some love?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
If Universal HD is possibly coming then why isn't E! HD also on the list given they are owned by the same network?

Just because 1 channel from a network is coming it doesn't mean other channels from the network will follow. Look at Sky for example when the sports HD channels came, Sky atlantic never came with them. (actually was atlantic running then?)
Also look when Sonytv came none of the other Sony channels came with it.
It's just the way the cookie crumbles, maybe EHD will show up with UniversalHD maybe it won't, it isn't on the list i have anyway but that doesn't mean it won't come.
