When vm added the HD channels last year there was a rumour negotiations were taking place for eurosport HD and history HD.

I would be surprised if it was E4 HD yet.

Or maybe picturebox becoming part of the XLTV pack for say a Â£1 a month extra. Not long now untill we find out i guess.

ITV HD simulcast is already being broadcast from Winter Hill and Crystal Palace transmitters, so it could be ITV HD...

I do not think it will be that long before ITV HD turns up probably before the world cup,and i think quite a while ago i heard vm were apparently testing it,but its been a while since then and recently has been quite on that front.

So weather that is one of the likely channels announced is evens i would think.

Not sure what 3DTV you are looking at but the shuttergalss solution only requires a small amount of extra hardware and should not push up the cost of a TV by that much. I would expect the premium to be now more then Â£200-Â£400 extra to start with. This certainly how all the technology blogs that came out of CES seem to indicate.

No it's not. There is going to be a page on the VM website about the changes. As soon as that's up (not sure when it will be at the moment) I'll post the link

Dukefever · 01-02-2010, 08:44

Ok Ben, fair enough, will check back later.

Although I think people need to calm down a bit lol. I keep on seeing the words 'big announcement' and it's not going to be

zantarous · 01-02-2010, 08:53

I think most of us know that, it has been a while since we have had any new decent news, I think the last big thing was Tivo and we yet to see any of that.

Dukefever · 01-02-2010, 08:57

There is another announcement today ref phone line (off topic I know, sorry).

Whether it's good or bad its always exciting to hear about Virgin announcments.

Yes, ITVHD was a 6-month trial service via Telewest that ended in November '06. Apart from the World Cup games there was very little on it. Space 1999 was re-mastered from film stock and looked amazing though!! - even if the acting was somewhat suspect...
