Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

Is it going to be in HD or should we expect the video to be blocky?

(sorry :D )

So the theory goes, although surely, if that's the case, it would be cheaper to just dump 5* +1 or 5 USA +1 onto the stream. They tend to fill a large proportion of their extra channel content with teleshopping already. How thinly can they spread their actual content?

I wouldn't read too much into that! VM are probably trying to get their pound of flesh! Have Channel 5 actually got enough material worth repeating?

If they had, you'd think they'd be repeating it more on 5* and 5 USA rather than showing hours of teleshopping.

I am in Bishops Stortford just south of you - no idea which area i am in that is being updated - having a quick play with it - like the new menu options but so far no netflix. I have to read back to see if i have to reboot it manually. I am sure you will get it tonight mate.

After my update I also had no Netflix, I had to unplug the box from the socket and left it unplugged for about a minute or so, when I switched it back on the app was there :)

Netflix has reached Enfield although as I have a V+ box its no big deal - they updated at 01.16 - why they do it at that time I cant work out as it split up some recordings - years ago the box would restart close to 05.00 so a more sensible time.

Until they allow TiVo to play back recordings in the background I will stick with the V+ box.

box restarted again at 05.40 - not sure why .

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 15:29.
