Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

I do. I find the +1s useful. Why should it be one over the other? VM have the capacity now to put what they want on, that doesn't meaning gaining HD channels at the expense of other channels.

OK take your point, like I stated personnel opinion.

I second this.At least once a week for this very eason:waving::waving::waving:

What is irritating is the lack of being able to organise the channels how you want, something that was removed upon the telewest/ntl merger.

If you only want to watch HD channels, you should be able to position them all together or put whatever channel in whatever position you want. In that sense, I agree with you that the +1s get in the way.

I use the +1 channels a lot but sometimes wish they were plus 24 or plus 25 instead

Sky have removed Real Madrid TV

Wonder if Virgin decide to pick this up with the other SD that are arriving soon

This may sound daft but why dont you use the HD Channels part of the tv guide.

It's interesting how even supposedly big subscription channels like Sky1 have microscopic viewer numbers compared to the BBC channels. Considering how many of those ugly looking sky satellite dishes litter the country, that's kind of surprising to me.

That's what I do, but as Virgin add more channels the HD list is spilling over on to 3 pages, and includes all sorts of junk now which I have no interest in.

Of course if the V+ actually displayed a TV guide in 1080p which filled the entire screen, with user selectable font size, it could be vastly more useful than it is now.

i'd like to be able to delete SD multicast channels like ITV1, CHANNEL4, ESPN etc for channels on XL. I've got hd so no point displaying those!

Lock them, it doesn't come up then or when you're flicking thru :tu:

Sorry, you have to set them to hide listings in settings, but it does work.
