General : Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

[telegramsam]

On the subject of HD channels I`d love to see channels broadcasting +1`s in HD. If it happens what`s the betting they`d be on Sky only?

Lets hope the channel comes to Virgin, my misses would rather have these sorts of programs than anything that Sky Atlantic would show

ITV Be has been confirmed by ITV as launching on Virgin Media on October 8th.

Not sure how the rubbish on there is supposed to be Entertainment....

"ITVBe will be mainly female-oriented and target a younger audience.[3]

It will be the new home of the ITV2 semi-reality show The Only Way Is Essex"

Can we start a petition to not have this channel anything that would remove the only way is essex has got to get loads of support

Maybe nothing but Virgin Media is being followed on Twitter by TruTV - new channel from August 4th on Sky and Freeview.

Will not happen - Virgin Media (LG) own about 7% of ITV now.

Maybe Discovery and LG will give ITV some All3Media shows now to full up ITV2 and ITV Be from October.

The trailer on their D-Sat tests says available "Everywhere from 4th August" - I take it that means all platforms

Ozsat is spot on , I've just watched the D-Sat test myself and it does indeed say available everywhere from August 4th , after having a good view I can't say its something I'll be watching.

August 3rd:

Very interesting.

"Quest's diversification into sport follows Discovery's acquisition of a majority shareholding in Eurosport earlier this year, with the media group reportedly eager to increase its sports presence in the UK. In June, the Swedish FIM Speedway Grand Prix was carried on Quest instead of British Eurosport."

Update from a Rumour poster source on TruTV.

Not 100% certain (That TruTV will launch on Virgin Media) but last I heard they were still in talks with both Virgin and Sky.

More about TruTV:
-On May 14th Broadcast did report that TruTV will launch in the UK will launch on Freeview, YouView and Freesat.
-TruTV got Sky EPG from Canis Media who sold Bid Shopping old channel number for Price Drop.

Media Boy do you know If/when MUTV HD will launch on VM

[Media Boy UK]

Now we know why Sky Sports News is on Virgin Channel 501.

Sky Sports News to get new onscreen look from August.

To mark the significance of the new launch next month Sky Sports News will move from channel 405 to 401.
