Agreed, the Movies are set out quite nice IMO.
Would like SS 1-4 on, say, 501-504, then maybe HD1 & HD2 on 511 & 12, with hopefully 513 and 514 being reserved for HD3 and HD4 :D

Is it only me (being a grumpy old git) that isn`t getting excited about cartoons in HD? I think Cindy needs to watch the shows she`s talking about :rolleyes: There are other shows on CC that I do like and will watch, but ......

On another note, does anyone have anything on ESPN America HD as yet?

I was told last Wednesday that Vrgin have got ''6 more HD channels are in the pipeline''.

So maybe ESPN America is one of them...

Try watching South Park in HD before slamming it, animation always looks superb in HD.

Loving these new HD channels coming but now desparately need more HD disc space.

We really need the new TIVO box ASAP, purely for the bigger hard drive, which presumably it has?

yeah 160gb is very low, virgin wouldn't be paying much more for 320gb hdd's or even 500gb hdd's, its a shame its so small, they can't fit many HD recordings on :(

I don't really want to archive, but I tend to build up a lot of programmes to watch over time. A few HD movies and the spare space rapidly starts to dissapear!

Does that mean HD channel and HD VoD or just VoD and on HD a HD channel??

Don't you just love the way marketing people play with words!
