We are not posting any more info about some channels that may launch.
The Channels are not testing right on Virgin Media UK anyway.
Three of the DNP are about other things.

If that is correct, and LG have also pulled the plug on Amazon, what future is there for cable tv in the uk?
If VM is prevented from moving forward, it is doomed. What a missed opportunity for VM just when it seemed their ideas wers finally being channelled in the right direction.
I do hope these rumours turn out to be false and that we are awaiting a big announcement this autumn. A massive increase in 4k content could be just around the corner.
Or not.

They have a cheek to hide behind a DNP when it’s already overdue by 4 months, they need to commuincate

A source has told us this.
Although at this stage we are taking it with a pinch of salt.

l don't need to enlighten anybody as there is no concrete evidence in what was stated has any spec of truth in it at all.

When our sources say DNP we have to hold information back.
Nothing we can do about it.

You do seem to dismiss a lot without actually backing it up don't you?
You do this exact thing to OB too time and time again, do you get a kick out of it or something?
I have documents infront of me from sources far far higher than you sir.

Not dismissing anything at all but until one gives me clear proof then l am saying it as it is and if one does not like it then that is their problem.

There is always someone higher in many walks of life but that means diddly squat to me as l say it as it is and people can either take it or leave it.
