I'm pleased that you've noted the significant effort and investment we've made in HD channels recently. We are going to be launching a number of HD channels in October. This includes four channels from UKTV which we will be announcing shortly. We will also be launching Sky Movies Classic HD in October. That will mean that we will have 36 HD channels of which over 19 are included for free as part of our TV packs,
We are in discussion with the owners of the other channels you list as well as a number of additional providers so we hope to be able to bring more HD channels in the future.

The other channels on the list were
Quote:
|
Sky Sports HD3, HD4, Sky Sports News HD, ITV 2 HD, ITV 3 HD, ITV 4 HD, History HD, Sky News HD and the Disney/Nick HD channels for the kids.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
its been a while since ive been on and my first post in ages. I think when it comes to VM we can never rule anything out and we just need to wait and see what they deliver. We can speculate as much as we want but no point in getting our hopes up for them to be dashed. the test stream may be nothing exciting and just some VM work but it could be everything we want. We just need to wait and see

I sent an email asking is the test channel Sky Movies Classics HD
What is Virgin Media testing then ?
Is it possible i could be 2 channels that are testing in 1 stream a SD channel and a HD channel or is it a sky sports red button stream ?
I think Sky Movies Classics HD will launch on channel 441
Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD can not be far away then |
Untill Virgin Media release an Offical press release I would remain cautious, we've been here before where channels have been going to launch and they never did.

Me too, apparently VM are in talks with everyone and despite the absence of press releases, we're getting or should be getting everything.
Amazing they've got the time to do that given the constant bombardment of emails and tweets their getting regarding channel launches.

How is that at all confirmed? Its not even a screenshot (which is still easy to doctor) its just typed words.
Another £20 bet on nothing happening if anyone wants it.
