I would think that even VM can get these channels onto their platform in that timescale.

How is someone in accounts at Granada TV, apparently knows ITV 2,3,4 HD did not launched today due Virgin Media dating the cheque till September.

When the ITV plc office is in London?

Don't believe everything you read, Arthur. It is nothing to do with a cheque, it is a technical issue. The channels will be here soon enough.

By the way, how much would you be prepared to pay for Sky Atlantic? Whatever figure you truthfully come up with, Sky want more.

I'm as disappointed as everyone else that the ITV HD Channels dont appear to be launching today.

But ... the source was correct - the channels were due to launch today .Virgin's website even announced their launch today as part of the XL pack.

So they ARE coming and it has been confirmed- we've waited this long so a little longer isn't such a big deal really.

Lets just put it like this, if it was a subscription channels and they charged 5p extra a month, I still wouldn't pay it.

The way some people are reacting to today's news is ridiculous and over the top in my opinion. Toys out the pram springs to mind. The itv hd channels will be here soon enough. There are a lot of worse things happening in the world and even this country so please let's have a little perspective.
