thinking of upgrading to v+ hd

[maza87]

hello, being as n3 is within touching distance, i mite take up the offer on v+ hd box for 75 quid, im jus wondering if anybody know why u cant get itv hd or sky sports hd channels through virgin? and also if i can have hd through a hd ready tv 720p?

[midiandy]

yes you can view 720p and the channels are missing because sky wont sell them to virgin im guessing or they want too much ? for them

ITV HD is exclusive to Freesat mate (although you can retune a sky box to receive it) and Sky Sports HD is exclusive to Sky Satellite..

I've had the V+ service for over a year now.. its excellent in my opinion.. The number of HD channels has increased dramatically lately.. it was just BBC HD when i got my subscription and now its..

FX HD
MTVN HD
National Geographic HD
4HD
ESPN HD

ITV HD is expected this year at some point, but the best thing is the sheer number of 'on demand programs' and 'on demand movies' the fact it has BBC Iplayer also..

On Demand is HD also

i know what your saying sky+ hd im thinkin as better, but ive only just signed up for a 12 month v contract, because i wanted a starview s usb, but thers soon the useless arent they, the only downer with v+ is no sky sports hd, also i heard sky sports wont give virgin the skysports hd is cus they said you havent got enough sky sports subscribers any way, ( because of pirate set top boxes)

I personally would go for Sky+hd. I got it a month ago cost ?30.00 for a new installation. Get about 30 hd channels and you can tuhe to ITV1 HD as well.
A lot of the programmes on so called hd channels you get via virgin are sd. ESPN HD has 1 hd programme today the rest are sd.
