All I have seen is 'Some HD Channels that broadcast on UPC Ireland will launch on Virgin soon.'

''Asian Channel'' did reported on Wednesday that Virgin are testing five channels (with Sky Sports News HD and Disney Channel HD being two of them) in an Virgin local HQ.

thanks media boy. I will look forward to the new channels what ever they may by

[ase001]

Do Liberty Global have their own 'NetFlix/LoveFilm' offering. They must have the customer base now to make this viable?

If so could it come to the XL package?

Actually, if Liverpool's imvolved, it would be more lkely to be Ashworth.

The last time I look on my old Sky Box the only European channel I saw was TV5 and Virgin carry it right now.

Viewers who love European channels need to go to Astra 19.2E for it.

Sky broadcasts at 28E.

@ Asian Channel.

If Virgin Media are set to launch CNN International HD why have you posted it Channel 610 when Channel 608 is free?

Good rumour if true.

I think the following will happen by May 2014.

163. BBC Three HD
164. BBC Four HD
520. Sky Sports News HD (If the rumours are right about testing)
602. BBC News HD
603. Sky News
604. Sky News HD (May launch with Sky Sports News)
710. CBBC HD
711. CBeebies HD
726. Disney Channel HD (If the rumours are right about testing)

This is Media Boy HQ Views.

does any one known what channel numbers the new channel might, virgin don't use logic when it come to d things.like sky sports is 515 you would think sky sports HD will be 516 but virgin might put next to bt sport.

[Media Boy UK]

Also DS Forum poster 'Steven L Hunter' ask the following last night:

Seems mad to put FOX+ on 199 when 159 is available next to FOX HD?

Just to confirm - Virgin Media has given the Local TV Channels Virgin Channel 159 (If they want to launch on Virgin that is).

Will be a bit embarrassing for the BBC/Virgin if both BBC Three/Four HD are higher up the EPG than BBC Two HD

[Media Boy UK]

I forgot about BBC Two HD being on Channel 187 - so the following may happen:

A)
162. BBC Two HD
163. BBC Three HD
164. BBC Four

B)

163. BBC Alba
164. BBC Two HD
187. BBC Three HD
188. BBC Four HD

Or C)

2xx. BBC Three HD
2xx. BBC Four HD

Wonder if there is any chance of Virgin doing a HD swap like sky do.

[ocav]

I vote option A personally. However BBC Three/Four/Kids HD will be direct simulcasts with no regional variation so maybe we might see a HD swap in place by May 2014
