Virgin Media's 3.7 million TV customers will soon be offered the Eurosport channel in HD.
According to Virgin, Eurosport HD is the first of several new HD channels due to 'go live' on the Virgin Media network over the next few months. The new HD channels will be included in the TV XL package at no extra cost.

The Eurosport HD channel is due for launch in April and will bring the number of Virgin Media HD channels to eight.

Although 8 HD channels is a far cry from the 37 on offer from Sky, Virgin still do rather well to cater to all tastes with HD channels such as BBC HD and 4HD, available to all Virgin TV customers, as well as ESPN HD, Nat Geo HD, MTVNHD, Eurosport HD, FX HD and LIVING HD at no extra cost on the TV XL package. On top of this Virgin Media has a library of over a hundred hours of HD content via their HD on demand service. Cindy Rose, executive director of digital entertainment at Virgin Media said: "We're really excited about the spring launch of Eurosport HD and the wider roll-out of several new HD channels for our customers in the coming months.

With HD ready TVs now common in UK homes, the combination of HD channels as well as our pioneering TV on Demand service gives Virgin TV customers a huge range of HD programming with the unique flexibility to enjoy HD content whenever they want, at the touch of a button. With all the regular channels you'd expect, and a service ready for 3DTV too, Virgin TV is without doubt the most compelling TV offer on the market."
