Re: Which HD channel do you want most?

I would prefer ANY HD channel, to prove it is better than SD, as on VM l cannot see the difference.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?

As a sky subcriber with all the skysports and ESPN including ESPN-A in HD I can't think of anything.

but my youngest daughter would like Disney channel HD.

I know there is a disney channel HD in America so most of the shows are filmed in HD.

No. But lucky for me I'm in a VM area so I will be getting 100mb BB in March(currently rolling with the 50mb)Sky are a TV company.

Maybe I should add.....You can run Sky down all you want I couldnt careless. They provide my tv and if they went bankcrupt tomorrow I would go freesat or wait for youview or get VMtv.

I buy my TV from sky as I believe they're the best..I buy my BB From VM as I believe they're the best.(altthough it turns out with latency and jitter VM are not the best for gaming lol.

Sky linear channel range is the best but OD is better with VM as is ESPN free for XL customers.

Most Disney Channel films that are HD are available to view on Virgin Media's On-Demand service.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?

Would be sweet if we had a few new HD channels for the main launch of the TIVO box.

True they will keep adding more, VM can't be left behind say 4,5,6 new HD channels launch with TIVO and the Sky sports red button would be great business.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?

Interesting results regarding ITV2 HD and Universal HD.

ITV2 HD was struggling with ratings on Sky HD a few weeks ago, I've not seen the latest figures. Universal (formally Hallmark) is a popular channel though.

Re: Which HD channel do you want most?

Voted ITV2 HD, as the standard definition quality is quite poor on a big TV compared to others channels.
