Virgin have done a great job over the last year. I think most peoples unhappiness still stems from the 1 HD channel in the previous three and a half years, and how far we still are behind Sky.

So they have gone from 1 to 29 channels in lets say a year?

365 days / 28 = 13.036 days

So would say that they have done well in regards to adding the hd channels.

In the end though Virgin are always going to be behind Sky because Sky are always going to add HD channels (even if they are pointless) to make themselves more desirable, so if your keep getting yourself worked up about that you will never be happy

ITV2 HD and 3 and 4 look more likely now http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginm...nteractive.php

FA Cup interactive

What timeâ€™s it on?
The Interactive service launches Saturday 23rd Jan at 7.18pm

Itâ€™s accessible from the ITV Interactive Service Menu via the red button 103/114/116/117 and then select FA Cup extra from the menu

Possibly the ITV channels are moving to make way for more HD content

My media friend told me ITV were in talks with VM to carry the ITV HD channels he said the rumour was November possibly around the launch of ITV 2 & 3 HD on Sky but as Media Boy has stated they aren't testing as.of yet so maybe this won't happen , but who knows.

That webpage is from last year, 23 January 2011 is a Sunday. They are the old channel numbers for ITV2/3/4.

I confirm that unfortunately there are no tests for any new ITV channels currently broadcasting on VM.

There's no need to apologise, Hiroki. It was obvioulsy not meant a slight to Christianity.

bamav, I'd much prefer peoples Religious beliefs (or otherwise) not to start making a impact on what can or cannot be said on a board about Virgin televison...there was no need whatsoever to start throwing words like blasphemy about. You have your opinion, fine, but in the context of this thread it's irrelevent.

bamav · 13-11-2010, 14:08

The matter is settled - why are you continuing it? It can be considered offensive, regardless of intent or religious belief. End of discussion. Thanks.

Sorry but who put you in charge. This is what forums like this are for discussions of Virgin Media.

The intent of this thread is to discuss Virgin Media, not religion. You had no right to bring it up here in the first place.

Back on topic now, please.

Will be nice if we get more HD channels before xmas. But we got a good amount now and VM have come a long way in regards to adding HD channels. It's just a shame the V HD + boxes have such small HDD drives, you can't record much on them especially HD recordings.

My SA V+ box ([EDIT: Swearing removed]) is almost full with not much recorded on it, you got to watch stuff soon after recording it so you can delete it.
