General : Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

[vincerooney]

Id imagine its geo wild, a +1 channel and 6 regional channels. i'm not getting excited here judging by some of the gaffers responses here!

Question for anyone about: We have a V box the little grey box. How much to get a VHD box extra?? surely the same price. the cat keeps hitting the wire out..hmdi wires are much tighter...

MB knows a bit better than me but as far as i'm aware only 4 channels are due to launch within next 3 months 1 is due this month they are all HD variants.

I doubt VM would bother name coding the channels of Local TV stations (if that's what you meant by regional channels). Beyond this I really have no idea!

A certain somebody from earlier on is still harassing me (via PM) about these channels!!! Anybody know how to block messages on here please?

If you look under your 'options' (user CP > Edit options) you can disable PM's there.

I saw somewhere that Al Jazeera English HD is to launch in May, anyone heard about this?

I have no beans. I'm trying to work out where these names are coming from.

No Sherlock can't help you today but perhaps Watson might help you.

You can order the HD box on-line at virginmedia.com for £20 self install. If you phone them up you might even sweet-talk them into sending it for free.

There's also a "mystery" billing item "HD monthly charge" that will appear but it's zero rate for XL customers

See here for details

We've got the Cisco HD box and it works nicely, still outputs SD on the SCART even on an HD channel. Handy for DVD recorders and modulators.

They are not regional channels but UK Wide ones - like Dave.

We think we know the ones you are on about:

Nat Geo Wild HD - TESTING NOW ON VIRGIN MEDIA USING REAL NAME.

plus

HISTORY HD
Disney Channel HD
CI HD

But can't make up our mind on the other up to 5 channels that may also launch.

We have only get 5 ideas from the following list:

Interestingly, for me, no AJ HD that i saw on another site.

I followed a link from a post on DS and it said:

May 2015
Al Jazeera English HD

It's annoying me that i cant find the link now. It was a list of VM channels and had a separate listing of coming soon, didn't specify that it was a rumour, seemed pretty certain and since AJ HD is available on Freeview, you never know.

AJ HD is an rumour until I see it testing on Sky - or the broadcaster confirm launch.

Look what happen with CNN HD.
