Just received a reply from Mr Berkett's office regarding HD Channels and ESPN. Below is the reply (Please note no mention of coming soon)Nothing official from Virgin and not the first time we've seen a possible date. I will see if anyone at VM can substantiate this. Stay tuned...
Howard
We are in negotiation with ESPN
We will launch half a dozen channels on August 1
UPDATE: Just got this back from VM support:
At the moment there have been no announcements, as soon as anything new does come out this will be communicated to the customers.
thanks
Kind Regards

could the rollout of 50 Mbit internet be having an effect on the rollout of the HD channels ?
August would seem to coincide roughly with the final areas to get upgraded
just athought...
I noted that the communiqué stated that "We will launch half a dozen channels on August 1"
No mention of HD - if that were their intention, don't you think they would be making one helluva noise about it.
As it was in response to a query about HD channels, it would be an odd reply to my mind if it wasn't referring to them. Having said that, I rate the likelihood as about 50/50 on this date.
As always I'm not going to hold my breath ;-)
in fairness ... it doesn't state what year in the response ;)
