I thought we'd have separate graphical spash screen for each show, with some show details, cast info and stuff, a bit like a shows web page... so I'm quite disappointed that the channel is just on a loop giving red button access to VOD.

Yeah, I was expecting much, much more from the user interface as well. Like pressing red on the Alias trailer would actually take you to the list of Alias episodes.

And.....more content would be nice.

Virgin Central in the form its in at this point = waste of time and effort and is just a gimmick. Once there is more content that isnt already on vod then we may be talking but I cant see the point when we have vod which is your choice tv anyway. Nothing new waste of time and just a marketing ploy
Engineer is coming out tomorrow but everyone in the Solent region seems to have the same problem so it looks like it might be a region wide issue

:o just checked Teleport TV. They've taken all the complete seasons of shows away, and replaced them with the odd 4 or 5 episodes

Hmm. I'll be browsing the TV Choice content with a fine toothcomb tonight. I *did* think with these recent announcements that they must have spent a fortune on disk space at VM! I'm about halfway through Season 2 of Shameless at the moment...

Indeed. Although I don't see any extra content so far..

Can I can assume that as I have no VOD on my V+ box (due to flashing online light) then I won't be able to access Virgin central either :mad:
Well VOD has never worked for me before and to my amazement I pressed red and it worked. I've now been able to access all VOD menus. :D

They are giving everyone TV Choice free for 3 months. It normally costs £5 a month for people on M or L TV and is always free for people on XL TV.

Got leaflet, went to 119, pressed red, b***er all happened. Unplugged box to exorcise ghosts of NTL ;) pressed red and we're off. And it's..... exactly the same as on-demand. In fact the Virgin Central content even appears on the on-demand menu system. Bit of a damp squib.

Far more interesting is the fact that all the TV Hits content is now free. Might be doing a lot of catching up on missed shows now :)

Someone in the BY newsgroups got it spot on, when they asked if it was "an early alpha of Teleport" :lol:

It does seem like VM have taken about 5 steps backwards in the VoD area
