So much for More4 HD this year.

It could launch next month as part of the More4 rebrand in my opinion.

We will have to wait and see.

I think the new logo is ugly.

A lot of people thought it would launch this year.

Wikipedia says it is launching in december.

Channel 4 would have announced it by now if that was the case.

Following on from earlier comments, what I would like to see "Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) ..." are time-shift variations of all channels and at no extra cost to the carrier (e.g. VM) from the broadcaster.

Whether or not you have a TiVo or other PVR (not everyone does) time-shift channels can still be useful. Those with recording facilities may have all of their tuners in use

, neglected to record a programme or missed it due to unforeseen circumstances. Note that not all Channel 5 programmes are available in Demand 5 and this applies to the other channels with On Demand facilities. Furthermore, not all of the channels have Catch Up On Demand or TV On Demand libraries.

I would have thought that, with the availability of TiVo, PVR, rewind live TV and various On Demand players, the rights issues were already covered and all programming could be archived by the carrier for 24 hours, 48 hours* or 7 days. It might mean viewing programmes as aired complete with the broadcasters' advertising but that's already the case with some of the existing options and the same as if you watched it live anyway.

Okay, in the current linear channel setup +1s for every channel is not really feasible but using the On Demand service or with a new delivery mechanism, such as IPTV, it could be possible.

*IIRC, when VCRs were first introduced in the UK you were allowed to record programmes and keep them for 48 hours only after which they had to be erased. Obviously this was impossible to enforce and most people weren't even aware of the ruling but it sets a precedent for at least 48 hours of access to programmes after they are aired.

For once, a poster that agrees with me!!!

I hope More 4 Hd launches, that is a great channel!

As of right now only CBS Action has been confirmed as coming on December 13th by my insiders

Maybe one of my Virgin Testers may know more.

Rillington · 05-12-2011, 12:47

Thanks as ever for the update MB.

Whilst it's good that CBS Action is to appear, it does seem odd that CBS Drama is not appearing on 13 December.

Is there any news on getting back the missing MTV channels, mainly MTV Classic? This disappeared to be supposedly replaced by BET etc. This is a big miss in my family, possibly my age. Keep up the good work guys!

I doubt it. I also doubt we will get Nickelodeon HD (Viacom owned) because Viacom would want to remove another few channels.
