These channels have wanted to join the VM line up since they started, but the (then) NTL informed them that there was not enough capacity on the network.

Last I heard was that negotiations took place without agreement in 2009.

I assume that these channels have probably paid more to be on the main EPG than the channels on the Worldbox app.

I expect two if them will be the two currently on Sky, namely Geo News and Geo Tez.

Me too plus another Virgin exclusive ��

Not sure if they are being charged for the EPG slots separately or not. They might be standalone channels (though I doubt it) or put into M+ so the arrangements will differ.

There's a special pack for asian customers priced at £12 a month, it may (probably will) go into that too.

Or as there are already 3 Geo channels on Sky, probably not...

It must be good to be Asian in the uk with all these channels. I feel for the poor Germans and Spanish who apart from world box get absolutely sod all from virgin media...

How many people of Asian origin live in the UK? And how many Germans and Spanish? There lies your answer.

It would be easy anyway, but that doesn't mean it makes commercial sense.

I think your HD channel section is good. Specially for 251 - 255 being for BBC, ITV, C4 and C5 HDs, but I dont know If I prefer having the other Channels HD variants grouped with the SD and +1 channel

e.g
Watch
Watch HD
Watch +1

Sky Living
Sky Living HD
SKy Living +1

I guess everyone has their own preferences....not that big of a deal as you can filter by HD channels on the guide anyway lol
