Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

Cheers MB, is the insider one of your reliable insiders?

Will be glad to see when it finally arrives, even if it is later than the 6th Nov. I will certainly give it a free trial as I have 10 days off work from the 8th Nov. :)
Glad to see VM have given it a thorough testing period, rather than rush it out with a few bugs.

My insiders has been with me for years.

Does anyone know why ESPN HD shows as being on channel 542 on the online TV Guide, yet is actually on channel 530 on the TV?

Not sure why it would move up there!

Perhaps this was the EPG number before BT took over ESPN?? Anybody know?

Who really knows what their boxes get up when you're sleeping ;)

When VM started running the company and did their first major update of the boxes, I went into the living room to find that the box had actually moved forwards! I joked at the time that they had sent my update a little too forcefully :D

ESPN has been on Virgin Channel 529 since launch back in 2009.

DS Forums are staying that an other Bio stream is testing right now - Lifetime to launch on New stream? Or Lifetime HD to launch?

Personally, I wouldn't trust anybody who feels the need to preface their name with the term "DJ".

This started as a fad in the 90's as a way to market famous Disc Jockeys and musicians, but was soon being used by any Tom, Dick or Harry in an attempt to pitifully (in their eyes) improve their status in life (though many are simply unemployed bedroom DJ's).

Not that all bedroom DJ's are bad, in my line of work I've discovered some talent on a few occasions, but most are simply deluded!

Your right, I don't agree with the mocking either.

If the channel goes it will be both HD and SD in my opinion.

Yes, the mocking of others is a particular problem on this forum. It is also very often done by the admin staff which is particularly disappointing. One would have assumed that their priority would be to ensure that the forum runs smoothly and is seen as a warm and friendly place to partake in.

It would be an interesting scenario if both Sky Arts 2 SD and HD closed. Perhaps Sky are now coming round to the VM view that VOD is the way forward as opposed to linear channels??

Perhaps VOD is a chance for under performing channels to be retained (or even move into profit?).

I agree, could one of you please create a thread about this 'phone app in the correct place?

This stops Media Boy's thread from being cluttered up with this subject and would also reach out to more customers to highlight a very useful service to those that may benefit from it.

I like some of the modern dance stuff, but also like many types of other music too. In fact, when people ask me what sort of music I like, I say it would be easier for me to tell them the sort of music that I don't like eg reggae, rap, opera etc.
