Dont want this kind of propaganda in my house. Wonder if I can get VM to block it.
You can simply choose not to tune in.

Certainly hoping that the Sky Sports HD channels launch before next week's US Open.
Agreed, especially as alot of sport is now currently underway.

whilst im no F1 fan, im sure that those who do would love to see F1 HD come sooner rather than later.

I can see my speeway being pushed onto SS3 or 4 if say cricket and golf sit on SS1 and 2.

so sooner they come the better

Are you being forced to watch it? The GOD channel is there, but I've never seen it!

Hoped they were going to announce it today when I saw the advert for the US Open aimed at VM customers, thought they were going to say now available in HD, but no such luck. Come on VM, get your fingers out!

I hazard a guess they may appear overnight or by Thursday. Fingers crossed.

No, they weren't. They were announced last month, which is completely different.

They've always been due in the summer... with Sky Sports News and Sky News to follow in the coming months,.

Why is Virgin taking it's sweet time to announce the launch of the HD channels? I Tweeted them 2 weeks ago and they said they didn't know. Can't harm to ask again can it.

Anticipated around 17th July for remaining sports channels in HD.
