Base on information I have seen from a number of sources over the past week I can confirmed that Virgin Media may launch over 20 new channels by end of this year.

I am not going to post the names of the channels I have seen but:

-The Channel names on theone2k10 list is also on information I have seen.
-Up to TEN new HD Channels may launch.
-Some channels will only be on Virgin Media.

Media Boy, was Universal Channel one of the HD channels on your list? That would be a welcome additional as it is long overdue.

With Sit-up closing today do anyone think Virgin Media may now go after QVC or JML to make up the money they will lose from Sit-up?

Most of UPC Ireland's channels are meant to come to VM at some stage according to Media Boy. These are:
HD
History, National Geographic Wild, CI, Sky News, Sky Sports News, Disney.
SD
Fashion TV.

To these we can add from other postings:
HD
Sky Sports 3,4,F1,
SD
Sky 1+1

That leaves another nine channels unaccounted for. Maybe five local TV, and four others.

In the past 34 hours I have revealed:

A) I do not have an real number as one of the channels on my list say 'Local TV'.
B) Some of the channels on my list broadcast in UPC Ireland and Smallworld areas right now.

Subject to VM agreement, any shopping channel can go onto VM as long as the appropriate fees are paid.

I think that any that thought it financially viable are already on the system, so don't think it will make any difference.

If they are still showing that static caption, they will run into problems with Sky. After a defined period of time, in order to maintain the integrity of the EPG, any channel not producing sound and moving pictures will be removed from the EPG.

I expect Sky to be on the ball with this one as there will be a need for SD EPG slots for their forthcoming venture with ITV.

All fun speculation. But I wonder can some of these rumoured channels be attributed to:

Commonwealth games feeds.
World Cup feeds (3D or even 4K).

I understand the hardware limitations that preclude the latter. But maybe for pubs/cinemas?

You really think football fans would go to the cinema to watch a game?

Somehow l can imagine one man and his dog and that's about it.

Nope. Though they already have, of course.

I was merely asking whether people thought any of those suggestions stand up?

For instance. I'm not particularly interested in it, but given the extra streams VM have given to the recent Olympics (all flavours). I'm surprised to see how little publicity has been given to their plans to broadcast the Commonwealth Games particularly as they are a main sponsor.

Or have I missed something?
