Ha ha! :D I am sure that Mr K is the epitome of good health, or at least was until he parked himself in front of the Talking Pictures channel!

The simple truth is, I couldn't remember which was Laurel and which was Hardy!

Good news. I'm certainly looking forward to watching 'Good Behavior'.

I also notice that they have recorded the first episode on my box automatically, and it is now listed in 'My Shows'. Some may object to this, but it's a neat way of drawing attention to Virgin Exclusives. Otherwise, a lot of expensive content could be missed by many Virgin customers, who would not benefit from these new commissions.

Me, too. I'm sure that many VM subscribers were unwittingly letting this exclusive content elude them.

I think they should also have an exclusives channel number, where you could access these programmes by going to the channel, which would then send you to the relevant part of the on demand system.

In fact, why not do that for other content as well, such as ITV Collections? It is clear from some of the posts on this forum that there are many who don't even know we have these channels, let alone know how to access them!

Same here. Maybe it only happens to those who have a history of recording similar material??

I don't either...but I wasn't expecting it as I'm not on XL/Full House. The only VM Exclusive other packs have got to see is Ash Vs Evil Dead s1&s2.

Maybe nothing but on October 2nd the TiVo listing for B4U Music is saying "Channel Off Air" all day long from 6am.

It's recently become a pay channel on other platforms and been removed from Freeview and Freesat, so I doubt it's closing or rebranding so soon.

Well, let's hope it's in UHD!

I know, fat chance! :rolleyes:
