sounds about right!!:mad:

It's BETA testing though, so you should expect downtime ;)

It does sound about right. However, as I understand it, the site is currently in beta, so there will be problems they need to iron out..

People these days haven't a clue what a beta test actually is though. Back in the day we were grateful just to get an early glimpse of something, if it was down 90% of the time that was just par for the course. These days people expect Betas to be 100% working... kinda defeating the point of having a beta.

No, when I click on the link it says.

Virgin Media Player is temporarily unavailable while we make some upgrades to this service. It will be restored shortly.

That doesn't tell me either way.
