The Sky Sports Red Button may not launch - look what happen in some areas when Virgin was update their network for NGTV last year (some area was postphone when Virgin found something up with that area).

Don't expect to see Sky Atlantic on Virgin Media any time soon.

Agreed about ESPN America HD. That would be my number one choice for new channels as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
Having seen the quality of ESPN HD it just shows how poor the quality of ESPNA is when comparing the same programme on both channels. I wouldn't mind so much if VM were able to increase the picture quality of ESPNA, but I don't know if they just take the satellite feed or if they have a direct feed that they encode themselves.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
True, and it's still better than when it was NASN. The PQ in those days could be atrocious at times.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
Sometimes I wish we didn't get ESPN stuff for free as we would most likely have ESPNA HD if we was paying £8ish a month was paying £10/15 a month back in the days of satanta/NASN

Well no, of course not if they can't agree carriage terms.

Well done on stating the blindingly obvious though
