So I'd rather switch on the TiVo box and be surprised if there is something new :p:

I like that we got pre launch info for the ITV HD channels, but I'm sensible enought to know that things can unfortunately get delayed and don't start throwing my toys out of the pram when they do get delayed.

The ITV HD channels (lack of) has caused a lot of discussion on this thread for a long time, and provked a lot of critisism of VM, so it was good to know that a deal had been done. That meant that the uncertainty was gone. All people had to do was exercise a little paitience.

Or do we?

Might have fallen through at last minute with Sky coming in with a better off to keep them as exclusive along with the VOD demand stuff that will no doubt turn out as exclusive too ;)

To be honest I am not that fussed about the ITV HD channels. But announcing them ONE day before they were supposed to be available and then they can't even stick to that. We knew the TV Anywhere app was coming, how long did that take in the end? By no means am I saying it will take that long again. But Virgin's word doesn't mean a lot.

Well, they did actually announce it for the same day. You'd think they could have checked if it had actually arrived first. ;)

I saw the report on breakfast, it was a bit confusing but I don't think it is coming to UK Cable. The reporter said it was in the US and is now on cable over here, but I think she was based in Israel and meant it is now available there.

I think that is what is catching people out about that report. The US channel launched in April 2012. The Israeli company that has just launched it's own version has hinted it is interested in the UK market, but that is all.

Channel removed by Virgin Media.

I see that one channel has been removed from my Total Channels - I think Virgin removed 'Sunrise Radio' (Channel was removed from the Virgin EPG on March 1st).

Horse & Country on its way to Virgin?

Horse & Country TV are doing a survey via their website to expand their audience. They want to know whether the channel should launch on Freeview, Freesat, BT Vision or Virgin Media next. Before anyone asks me, I participated in the survey and voted for Virgin. :D Is this a good thing or a bad thing?:o:

If anyone wants to participate in the survey and vote for Virgin, here is the link:

Wouldn't be too bad I suppose. Plenty of posh babes wearing tight jodphurs riding their horses... Erm, I'm off for a cold shower.

Anyone who has been eating "beef" over the last so many years, will probably be, unknowingly, a lover of horses... ;)
