All i've been told is Summer 2014 for new channels, i wonder if VM are going to launch a big batch in one go?

A: Well both Sky Sports 1 HD and Sky Sports 2 HD did launch on August 2nd 2010.

A: As of May 12th no confirmed news. See my blog for my views: http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...ike-major.html

Q: WHEN WILL SKY SPORTS HD AND SKY NEWS HD LAUNCH?
A: Again no confirmed news but base on past Sky Basic HD channel launches we may not get them until April 2015.

April 2015 is way too late. I'm going to presume they'll launch in the next month or two.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
Don't understand the virgin strategy if it were to be 2 months away or next year, people will be phoning and virgin would say you well get them in a few weeks, months, years. seems mad to me

Vm's definition of coming soon is usually very different to what normal folk call soon, probably will be august.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
I've just got into work and i'm here till 8pm and this is most depressing news to be greeted with. we'll be waiting a year possibly for sky sport news hd and sky news hd!? This is depressing.... Maybe we should just close this coming soon to VM thread down and create the "coming soon to VM tv (2015)" thread.

I wonder why they're holding the sports HD channels off till august? I'd understand if its sky sports 1/2 HD as they have the football? But 3 and 4 HD dont have any football on them??? Start of the football season makes no difference?

Don't get too depressed, Vince, there has been no indication I have seen that the Sky Basics HD channels now confirmed as coming will be delayed until next year.

However, I would also like to point out to everyone that dates for new starts on here may be correct at time of posting, but they can change for all sorts of reasons, including for technical reasons. Having said that, and leaving our more respected posters aside, some of the dates given are really pure speculation. I have no idea where the 2015 date comes from.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
To be honest, until Virgin confirm exactly when the extra basic HD channels are coming, it's all speculation. It could be next month, but it could indeed be 2015.
