If Virgin did become partners, I wonder if we'd get an extensive amount of music on demand via Virgin Media Player? Better still, a Tivo app for all you Tivo lovers!

Electric Sofa Media are launching three brand new televisions channels in 2011, on a number of broadcast platforms, free to air, in the UK and Ireland.

Film GB - the first ever movie channel devoted to British cinema

Sofa Screen - a new movie channel showing Hollywood Classics and new titles

Sofa Stars - the new home of the best entertainment

Okay so I joined their forum to try and learn a bit more. This new company are currently going through the Due Diligence procedure and should be launching in the summer. They have confirmed in their forum that the channels will be encrypted and will not be launching on Freeview. When asked if they will be on Freesat, SKY or Virgin they simply answer:

"Sorry we're unable to confirm, for contractual reasons, which platforms the channels will be on."

It is clear from other posts that whilst they are still months away from launch, TV deals are in place. Hopefully Virgin can get a deal in place if they haven't already signed up. Film GB would be awesome.

This is a thread from July 2010 on Electric Sofa

Whoops!!! Surely this now owns the record for the longest Coming Soon channel

I'm sorry for that one, especially anyone who got their hopes up.

Coming soon,
Hold your breath!!!
Then what
Sky Arts 1 + 2 HD launched on Virgin with very little fuss- no fanfare

Why???

Why bother?

Yeah I've read some rubbish on this thread before but I must admit that was a real low for me, and this thread. I was so excitied when I thought I'd discovered a new channel launching that nobody else had spotted.
