Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
I have asked Virgin Media on Twitter about CBS Action, they said:
"We are always looking to add new content, we have not had this confirmed yet, we'll shout about it when we know something"
I am pretty sure that are telling Media Boy the truth and it is clear CBS Action is cmoing to Virgin Media, but this clearly shows that Virgin Media are not that good with PR!

Indeed it would- I enjoy the genre of drama. What did UKTV Drama morph into?

Nothing new there then  It sounds like the typical VM spin that they spew out to many customer queries, instead of giving a straight and/or correct answer.
I would expect a slate for CBS Action to appear in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

To be fair that's the usual company line on just about anything. Getting conclusive proof before launch time is a blood/stone exercise. We'll just have to wait...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
Will any of those UKTV channels be in HD, or just the SD versions? Because I recall there being an Eden HD channel not so long ago.

I fail to see how that has anything to do with More4 and its counterparts.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
I have noticed a few posts about Virgin not having space to carry some channels, do we know how true these statements are? They appeared to have no trouble finding space for PBS and CBS Action along with the new HD channels they have added over the last few months.

It is the Broadcasters not wanting to pay for the EPG slot. ie CBS Drama as a example.
