The wheel of speculation is why this thread is so popular whether its true or not.

We could see More4HD soon as I believe Sky only had a 6 month exclusive contract for it (I am trying to find the link for this info) - It started on 4th February 2013

If it was previously on 321 and the slot hasn't been reused, they might as well! Did More4 return to it's old position when that returned?
Interesting news for sports fans:
I was told today that VM have heard a rumour that, in an attempt to try and scupper things for BT, everytime that BT have a live match on, Sky will make it's football available for free.
I asked if this meant that some or all of the Sky Sports channels would be temporarily unencrypted, if they would be moved or simulcast on a channel such as Sky One or if they would be put onto Pick TV to dissuade Freeview viewers from subscribing to BT Sport (not sure if they can or not) and was told that he didn't know the answer to that.
Does anyone know if sports rights that are sold with pay TV rights MUST be shown on pay TV, or if Sky are able to show them FTA should they wish to do so?
If not, that rules out Pick TV, but the option of putting them on a channel like Sky One would comply with any "must carry on pay TV" requirement.

The original UK Drama morphed into Alibi, concentrating on a narrower crime drama genre.
---------- Post added at 19:13 ---------- Previous post was at 19:04 ----------
I would have thought one of the vacant slots in the entertainment range. Although Blighty doesn't really fit very well in the factual / documentary section as it has a large amount of lifestyle content. UKTV's new Drama channel would be out of place on channel 206.
---------- Post added at 19:28 ---------- Previous post was at 19:13 ----------
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but Bio. + 1 only operates between 5am and 7am on Sky. It's more of a placeholder for the channel 197 slot on Sky than an actual channel, as such it is unlikely to come to Virgin Media. Maybe you could make a note of this on your owned by link.

Technix has also stated this on DS:
If correct, this should bring the following channels to VM:
MTV HD 183
BET 184
MTV MUSIC 310
Nick HD 714
|
Thanks for info.

I was thinking that Virgin was going to launch MTV LIVE on Virgin Channel 310 - beside MTV LIVE HD.

I think the rest of the 'new channels' (MTV CLASSIC and MTV LIVE) will launch - but not this week.
It also look like given what channel numbers Virgin have given Viacom for the channel launches on Thursday we will not get Comedy Central Extra +1, MTV +1 and Nick Jr +1

The Bond channel is back with Skyfall on July 1.

Get ready to be shaken and stirred because as Skyfall arrives on Sky Movies on July 1, all the other Bond movies will not only be available on demand, but back in one place on the dedicated channel Sky Movies 007 HD.

Sky Movies 007 and Sky Movies 007 HD will be on Virgin Channels 410 and 440.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
Blighty closes as Drama opens for UKTV.
UKTV is to close its British-themed pay-TV channel Blighty after four years, ahead of the launch of its forthcoming scripted channel Drama.
