More said yes than no, but it was still a minority because of the "don't cares".

Thought we'd done this to death?

Or a majority as most people call more voting yes than no.

Well yes, but unless VM only have 53 customers then what I stated remains completely accurate.

Off topic sorry - nearly EVERY poll what ever the outcome like it or not , the result is not supported by the majority. But we still get a government. :p:
Do care or don`t vote - don`t count Only wish it did Please next election can I have none of the above !!!:D as a choice - Do not think so :shocked:

I'm still amazed how after many many threads on this, and Virgin say that reminders are coming, it yet again degenerates into an argument

Sorry Ben, I would say that a lot of the people( not Carl of cause) here do not

a) Trust Virgin to deliver any time soon.
The phase "coming soon" takes on a whole new meaning when used by them.

b) Believe what "they" say at all.

c) However think that Virgin say one thing & do another .

It is a perception that Virgin have brought upon themselves. Once rooted it takes a lot to remove.

Please understand I am not having a dig at anyone posting here.
I for one have given up on Virgin supplying what I want. So much so that I use "freeview" more and more and that is saying something about Virgins delivery of free to air services. Would I recommend Virgin to anyone today NO. A year ago yes:shocked:

I guess it's just one of those divisive subjects. Personally I still don't see how a function that simply switches to the correct channel is better than a function that switches to the correct channel and starts recording. :confused:

Define "a lot" in this context and is that more or less than "those who do plus those who have more important things to worry about" (the latter of which is me!)

Confirmed as included in the next major update.

Of course, if they gave a date and missed it there wouldn't be any complaints at all would there? :rolleyes:

Only for certain people :)

Personally I don't understand why people want to watch a live event at a later date, after the result has been blasted all over social media and the news sites

Which, of course, is of no relevance to anything as you can start watching a recording from the second it starts... erm... recording so we're not necessarily talking "at a later date" at all. :rolleyes:

I started watching the Jubilee Concert well after it started as I knew there would be one or two acts I didn't want to watch. Same with "The Voice" (or any other talent show.)

Not really as its more like good old fashioned banter as sometimes as some posters can be far too serious sometimes.:)
