National Geographic Channel shortened to Nat Geo. My bad for creating the confusion by having it in the list.

Phew, I thought I was being stupid for a while then, but thankfully (and for a change) I was not:)

Local TV on Virgin Media?

What are Virgin Media plans for Local TV when they start broadcasting later this year:

-Do Virgin Media hope to offer them on an EPG Channel number?
-Or on TiVo boxes only with an App to go and watch them?

According to this, your local one would be on a numbered channel, and the full set available via a TiVo app.

Agreed completely, if any channel needed the HD touch it was ITV4

There are now a very diminished list of valued channels SKY has over VM!

More4hd would be a great addition but I suspect that is stuck behind a exclusive wall with sky,that's being confirmed by media reports today behind the long wait for itv2,3+4 HD and hearing today that's been the reason for delay in getting universal HD.certainly would explain why we have been waiting for so long

I don't expect them to be perfect, but an explanation rather than a silly comment about it being more difficult than reading a calendar, don't you know, might have been a better response. Besides which, the fact that on the very day the "technical difficulties" were encountered, they announced the launch, does give a rather amateurish impression of a communications company unfamiliar with the concept of internal communication. And, rightly or wrongly, I do think it's highly suspicious that the "technical difficulties" caused a delay of exactly one week.

Either way, I am actually happier with my cable company than many and unlike a lot of people I'm not jumping up and down for new channel launches. ITV 4 hd was pretty much it for me and, whatever the reasons for the delay, I repeat that I am happy to see it arrive.

The other option is to offer the channel to VM at a very high rate and attempt to force VM to raise the price of the XL package. Then they can sit back and wait to gain VM customers annoyed at such a large price increase.

I've just been watching a recording of 'Vegas' off Sky Atlantic , during the interval the Sky Atlantic logo popped up with 'Only on Sky' written underneath I have to say its the first time I've noticed this.
