Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Why only Sky sports 1 and 2 HD... or do you think 3 and 4 follow automatically? Strange the specificaslly say 1 and 2 and not all Sky Sports HD when they do say ALL Sky basics HD and ALL Sky Movies HD.
Anyone shed any ligh on it?
"Virgin Media will also have access to red button interactive sports coverage"
Thats good news!

Wow, it really happened!
As a premium subscriber I can't wait to get Sky Sports & Movies in HD through VM (charge or not).

# New carriage agreements will secure wholesale distribution of Sky's basic channel line-up, including Sky1 and Sky Arts, and the newly acquired VMtv channels, on Virgin Media's cable TV service.
# For an incremental wholesale fee, Virgin Media will, for the first time, have the option of carrying any of Sky's basic HD channels, Sky Sports HD 1 and Sky Sports HD 2, and all Sky Movies HD channels.
# Virgin Media will make available through its on-demand TV service a range of content from Sky's basic and premium channels, including the newly acquired VMtv channels. Virgin Media will also have access to red button interactive sports coverage and the opportunity to deliver selected standard definition programming over the internet.

Are Sky gonna be cheeky regarding Sky Sports 1 and 2... moving stuff here and there?

This is such good news for VM viewers. Now there is no reason to move from Virgin to Sky.
Let's hope Sky Sports HD is for all 4 channels (3&4 are "bonus" channels).

It clearly states in the press release, and had been mentioned before that only Sky Sports HD1 and HD2 will be on Virgin, 3 and 4 will only be SD.
Sky have already announced that Champions League football will be shown on Sky Sports 2 & 4, clearly a decision made because of this new deal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
What did I say in the last thread regarding VoD content glad they worked that into the deal as well. All the Movie channels that is fantastic. Hope Spirts 3 & 4 follow sometime in the future.
With adding all the movie channels the figure of 20-30 HD channels should be more then possible now
