Virgin Media

I'd like to know too, they must have somewhere, I've read on MediaGuardian that Kelly Daglish will also be presenting too, she was superb on Sky Sports News, but she went to TalkSport AIUI.

Anyone got any idea when season 3 of Lost will be available on Virgin On Demand ?

is it true that Virgin Media is going to have the new Terminator series as an exclusive and Sky users won't be able to see it?

This forum hasn't looked at much Virgin Media presentation, so on a particularly dull night for TV, here's some captures.

5 ident type things with people waving their fingers and light stick things in the air in the shape of the Virgin swirl between trailers on the preview channel. Said swirl things appear on the programme trailers.

I wonder if this presentation is a sign of what to expect from Virgin 1 ?

I really like those 'idents', but for some reason, they always freeze after a second of being on on my screen. Nothing else freezes. Also, the new overlay on the channel is annoying, as it ruins graphics like trailer endboards for 4oD.

Yeah, haven't exactly felt those weird overlays added much more than a somewhat pointless DOG would have (which is also there) but those idents I haven't seen in full either. Might be a Bromley headend thing.

it was freezing in Telewest Dundee on Thursday but was working properly on Friday.

They are rather classy. I do like them.

freezing for me too

EDIT: Now fixed!

Same, it didn't freeze for me earlier.

I just read that Virgin/Setanta's sports channel is launching for the start of the season, August 11th. In such a short time, how will it all kick off I wonder!

Your posts are always so interesting and informative.

They seem to be keeping rather quiet with this, but you can tell it will be a very last minute job, any channel that wants to make a launch go with a bang would notify their viewers of when it will launch and where it will be at and would probably advertise about it. But other than the press releases we've seen on MediaGuardian and Digital Spy I've not heard much else about it.

It's good that there'll be competition but for now my money is sticking on Sky Sports News, it's very well established and 'Setanta Sports News' will really have to try hard to get the viewers.
