I know we have the TIVO boxes coming later this year but does anybody know if we are getting a new V+box with a bigger hard drive.

If they do we will have to pay for it like Sky.

Can't find any reference to Analouge closedown on Virgin in manchester.

I understand it was 1 February 2010 for radio (FM hook-up) and 1 March 2010 for TV. Can anyone confirm that?

Sky often do a Movies free weekend, however this never applies to Cable customers.

I spoke to my insider about these new TIVO boxes and how much would these cost.

There is no official or internal information on anything yet but he said there could be one way to get away with the TIVO box charge and that would be to upgrade to VIP.

With work already starting on improved VIP package which we should start to hear something on within the next 2-3 months the improved package could be inline with the release of TIVO which was always predicted Nov this year.

So watch this space.

Ad in the Mirror this morning by Sky, suggests that the only way to get HD Sky Sports News will be to go with Sky. The ad is in the Sport section and has pizza as the prop and shows Virgin having two pieces and Sky having five - each piece = a HD channel

I'm not sure what the point of a HD Sports News channel is though. They only show clips and mostly studio shots with presenters. :confused:

I'd imagine that Sky will keep it exclusive for a bit... they must feel under attack at the moment! :D

If the channel goes premium only then it would probably be able to show more of the action on their other channels and by going HD they can show a similar quality to what subscribers could be switching to.

Though I agree it seems a bit pointless going HD

Much better to have Film 4 HD

To be honest, I don't think I'll lose sleep if we don't get SSN HD, I got the channels I wanted (1 & 2) but, hey, I guess it'd be another channel to brag about if we did.
Am I correct in thinking September is being rumoured as the launch date for the Sky basics HD? Wanting Sky1 HD :D
