History HD and National Geographic Wild HD would be a great addition to Virgin's Channel Lineup

Seen a rumour that three GEO channels are due to start on VM and are currently testing.
Can anyone check if their tests are viewable off the EPG? |

We should be seeing this year BBC One +1 regions and with hope BBC One HD regions too.
Along with the Hope for .... HISTORY HD Channel 4 +1 HD 4Seven HD Fox News Also the America owners could bring over some channels that are not here yet. But the trouble the EPG needs a clean up and move to free up lower channel numbers as last move has not last long with only about 7 spaces until we get to the Doc's . |

Don't see why not, the vast majority of Sky channels are available on the Virgin Media platform.

I'd be happy for Sky to keep that channel exclusive to their own platform!

I know it doesn't have the scale of shows that others can lay claim to, but it does still get a few exclusives - such as Rookie Blue and Sleepy Hollow. Whilst those not interested in such shows may think *YAWN* - we are an eclectic bunch, and there's no 'right' or 'wrong' in terms of taste..each to their own. It always surprised me that this fairly inocuous channel was not included back when we received the bulk of channels we now enjoy. I mean, it hardly seems like a channel that Sky would/should feel the need to hold back, in the obvious way they do Atlantic, That's just a thought/observation. As I say, just an infrequent visitor who would also like (not life changing levels..lol) to see Uni HD as part of the package. |

I would also like to see Universal HD added, for Bates Motel and How To Get Away With Murder, they have a decent lineup of shows and the SD picture quality is poor.

I think you are the first person I've seen mention Universal HD - that said I'm not a major visitor here.

It's nothing to do with Sky so they would have no say in the matter.

Totally agree - a lot less clarity than any most other SD channels.

I remember in the days of analogue satellite, Sky would have you believe that all the English channels were theirs eg Eurosport, Lifestyle, The Childrens Channel, Screensport etc. |

I love the way Vm doesn't carry Fox News..... It's a nasty piece of work.

It's because Sky like to tout the illusion that they own/control everything in connection with Pay TV, which, of course, they don't.

I couldn't agree more. There are some excellent programs on here but the SD picture is appalling so we do need the HD version.
I'd be interested to see what the bitrates are for the various channels. |
