I wish some new channels were added instead of all this +1 garbage.

+1 channels aren't garbage. Even with a V+ box I still find myself using them a fair bit.

But most is available on catch-up at least with the Terrerstrial anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

That's fine if all you do is watch terrestrial and even then films or US imports are not included.

That sounds about right, as the slates normally stay up for about two weeks.

utv+1 placeholder on ch114 stating that they start @ 8pm tonight and that you may have to retune your freeview box to receive it!.

I wonder if that means that VM are getting their feed from DTT?

But I think Virgin will reuse the Bravo Channels numbers for Syfy +1, Syfy HD and BBC HD. With Virgin moving the Channel 4 Digital Channels down one to make room for More4 +1 to launch.

VM used to have More4 +1 in the past, I THINK it was removed in favour of Channel4 +1. I will be glad to see it return.

Am I right in thinking that VM intends to release TIVO boxes with smaller HDD in the future ?

Yes. There has been some press about that.

That would be a good idea id like to see a 300gb at Â£50 , 500gb at Â£100 and a 1TB at Â£150.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

I have watched this space for ages, its like waiting for paint to dry.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

New Virgin Media EPG on it way?

I ask my insider this today: Have Virgin got any plans for the old Bravo and Challenge Jackpot channel numbers?

And I got this back: not yet, but I hear there may be a channel shuffle.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

i hope they make the EPG widescreen soon, fullscreen is a thing of the past.

It would be really good if the 'search' function was more visible when first pressing Home, it's a great feature that I always use as I know where it is but you have to select 'on demand' to find it.

For those that are not familiar with it you can not only search on a programme title (not even the full title is needed) but you can also search an artist's name and it will find programmes if it appears in the synopsis.

It's very good.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

I think the TIVO date for installs could be around March as the OD upgrades run unitl mid Feb but I'm just speculating.

Apparently it has been said on the VM sofa site that installs start in February. Can anyone who is a member confirm?
