That is not a Christmas present LOL.

A Christmas present would be compensation for all the months that we have LOST the channels for.

My first post in this forum..

This is what is being added on 13th Nov

Sky 1 - 121
Sky 2 - 122
Sky 3 - 123
Sky News - 602
Sky Sports News - 517

Virgin 1 - 119
Virgin 1 +1 - 120

Customer services have no clue on when hd channels will be added.. guess we are stuck with 1 channel

Ahh this really is awesome news !

However it would have been 10 folds more awesome IF we had more HD Channels !

I love the BBC HD Channel (when it has documentaries on) but the stupid thing is only On for a short time !! the rest of the time it is just the Preview.

Any whoo Thank You for telling us this
