FX has indeed gone widescreen today, FX promo and Babylon 5 in widescreen. I think this must be the first time that B5 has been shown in widescreen on TV not counting VOD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
I think with the analogue switch off freeing up more space, or VM doing upgrades for more space, which I don't see as the analogue switch would have created more space.

Just out of interest how many more channels can VM add with the analogue switch off? Will they still be bandwidth constrained due to using mpeg4?
Oh, and yes, it is nice to see another HD channel being added.
