If these are for ESPNA HD or for the Sky HD channels its not clear but things are moving very quickly - The next month or so is a very busy one for VM so expect press releases soon.

But as per the recent email we are expecting somthing soon regarding the Sky Sports/Movies HD channels

What i can say ESPNA HD is 100% coming and will be included in the XL TV pack Free.

For all other TV packs it will be included in the subscription fee.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

Virgin Media looking to launch an Scottish channel.

My insider has told me that Virgin hope to launch BBC ALBA on Virgin TV*.

*I was not told if this channel was set to launch in Scotland only (Like S4C is only in Wales) or UK wide.

Good, as long as it's in time for the new SPL season for the games shown each week.

I suspect that, besides the SPL, it will be a channel with less viewers than S4C.

I have no doubt that there will be somebody complaining that VM don't have BBC ALBA HD.

As a non-Gaelic speaking Scotsman I have enjoyed more output from ALBA than I have from the majority of channels on VM or Sky.

Top of page 5 for anyone who has it. Also confirms channel number as 429. Seems to suggest it will be in the M Pack as it says it will be available to "all Virgin TV customers, with an HD set-top box".
