Bound to have some BUGS to iron out. :D

If this happens where will everybody go to get their Diamondnique, Rubyique, Plastique, Opalique, Crappolaique and the most sort after of all imitationique?
Have the powers that be thought this through properly? just Gems 1 and QVC, is that really enough to handle the nations need for imitation crap when the recession ends?;)

Another blow for glass manufacturers. Not only is the market for double glazing / replacement doors diminishing but what a hammer blow that the market for ***** jewellery is affected too. :)

How much more lifelike is The Simpsons in HD? ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

My ex-NTL/ex-CW is still on 31 TS Streams and recently, over a period of weeks, dropped from 309 channels to 299 and up to 300 again.

There is still a fairly sizeable differential between your configuration and mine. Surely as analogue is phased out and the channel lineup on ex-NTL and ex-TW merge we should be seeing similar numbers in all areas on all platforms.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

The four additional HD channels will be available from August 1st. The PictureBox service HD films will increase to around 75% of their films within the first year. Confirmation on ESPN is expected shortly. And there may be more additional HD channels (Eurosport and History?) available October/November.

Well then he's been stealing from you (and me) for four years so you really should report him. :td:

Theft of this nature either directly affects the price we pay for our services or stifles the development of the network. VM might have been able to offer some services such as additional channels, HD and faster broadband sooner, if they had the revenue from these parasites. :mad:

And don't listen to the "I wouldn't have paid for the extra channels anyway" excuse. :(

Put a pin through his co-ax! Who's he gonna call? :D {No don't do that. Really, don't. I just said that for comic effect.}

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I really hope we get the extra 2 HD channels, not just cos i really want Eurosport HD but for VM to be able to say "We offer Movies sport and documentaries in HD" is a pretty nice marketing strategy!

I've just put a pin through my neighbours cable. Thanks for the tip. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

great news. Not long to wait, although I can't view them at the moment at least I can get the EPG and see if it is worth upgrading

This week list is now online - see post one.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Do we know what they are holding onto channel 113 for? Living2 is on 112 but Living2 +1 is on 160 rather than 113.

I feel a renumbering coming on, once the new HD and other channels settle down, possibly early next year.

It is hard to come up with an ideal numbering scheme which groups like channels together, caters for +1 and HD channels and still reserves numbers or groups of numbers for certain channels (e.g. BBC1..4; ITV1..4; the C4 suite; the Five suite; Sky1..3; Virgin; Living etc.). We'll see what they come up with.

I'll miss Living +2. :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Where did you get that info? Living HD isn't meant to be launching till around September with the first 3 channels coming at the end of July.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

virginmedia@callumheald Hi Callum - we can't give you an exact date yet, but they are scheduled for w/c 27/7 - all except Living HD which will be Sept. tht my twitter acount hint maybe lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Hmm! Care to expand on how you achieved that? I already have XL TV and unlimited phone but I'm looking to lever a bit more from VM such as V+ or a second box at a favourable cost.
