I have got info tonight that Virgin Media are looking to start up Channel 4 HD, ITV HD and THREE other HD Channels within the year 2008.
Note: Channel 4 HD will start before August, Virgin are still in talks with ITV for their HD Channel.
The three unknown channels maybe the following:
Discovery HD
National Geographic HD
History Channel HD
He's normally quite accurate, so here's hoping he's on the button with this one! I would personally prefer a Five HD and Film4 HD over the History Channel or Discovery, but beggars can't be choosers.

Hi Nialli,
That is wonderful news if it comes to fruition. I would love 2 of those extra channels to be Nat Geo, Discovery as well. As for the History channel, I'm old enough to remember most of it :)
Again where is the space? Other than that this is fantastic news. I don't really watch these channels (too much channel drift over recent years - ice truckers!?)but it'll look great for stats. It'll be four HD channels and when ITV HD and 4HD arrive it'll be 6. 6 + vod vs 11 makes sky look a lot less dominant, hurray! Might speed up the uptake of V+ and encourage other channels to go HD in the medium and long term. Probably the best piece of news since the merger/rebranding really if we assume that ITV HD and 4HD are coming along too.
