Cela va sans dire , that he will be far too busy at home with the gorgeous Madame President to worry about an English version of a French TV channel ...

I'd like to see Fox News added. It's the most entertaining news channel on TV! Fair and balanced too.

Since when has that bothered the French? This isn't an anti french rant, but this is a country that is actively working to remove English terms and slang from it's own language.

yes - I can't see why we can't have France24 AND Fox News

there seem to be a lot of free channels above 600 ie

601
602
603
604
605
608
611
612
614
615
616
617
618
619

and all the channels up to 700 ie 621>700

Free channel numbers does not equate to free channel bandwidth

Yeah right Horace, Id say Fox is about as "fair minded" as the BNP.

agreed but in the news 'block' of 100 channels ( 600-699) there appear to be only about 20 channels used which means there are about 80 channels free

there must be some free bandwidth there otherwise they wouldn't have designed the box with 1000 channels and 100 for News

surely there is enough room for France24 as presumably the Sky News bandwidth is free as is the bandwidth for the other rogue Sky channels ( 15 in number ?)

i second that about getting Fox News however they are well known for been single minded & only reporting what they want to & how they want to.

I've heard unofficially that VM may be increasing the number of news channels

France24 and Al-Jazera News and even Fox News have been mentioned

News is pretty badly supplied at the moment on VM

I really hope this is true! :D Russia Today would be a good news channel also.

But I have learnt to not get my hopes up when it comes to Virgin Media TV! Only time will tell I suppose.
