I have no idea where 45 channels came from I must have been posting my reply thinking about something else.

I disagree now, it's not good value

Isle of Wight cable has that that channel, so does Sky so l cannot see why we dont have it.

Last channel launch on Virgin Media from CSC Media was True Entertainment on March 1st 2011.

So deal may not be up until March 1st 2014...

Assuming Animal Planet HD, Universal HD and the ITV HD channels are all confirmed that's much more like it from Virgin. Would still like to see Nat Geo Wild HD added, and of course the missing Sky HD channels - not holding out much hope for the Sky ones though.

Completely agree, XL is starting to look like an HD pack.

Agreed. If they'd only see their way to dropping fox into l I'd downgrade like a shot after the last few weeks.

Actually it is still owned by Square 1 Management. Sony are simply supplying a programme block to the channel, they don't own it. (The programme block being the same as that on their own channel, More>Movies.)

120. ITV4 HD
174. ITV2 +1
175. ITV3 +1
176. ITV4 +1
178. Sky Livingit +1

It wouldn't be the first time that channel positions have been tentatively announced but have actually appeared at a different location at launch.

Your layout does look slightly better, although why did you move Sky Livingit +1 from 160 to 178?

With spin like that, VM's advertising team should hire you.

I have no idea where 45 came from, someone must have planted it in my head.

MM, Chad, the 45 channels (which I guess includes the premium channels plus Universal HD and the other possible HD arrival) came from this post originally.
