Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

i recently emailed the paranormal channel asking about virginmedia carraige, thinking that with it being owned by yvette and carl from most haunted they would want to get it on the platform. but this is the reply i got:

"team@antixproductions.com

Hi Chris

Thanks very much for your e-mail. We would love to launch on the virgin media network, but unfortunately they wont let us on there. However, if you wrote a letter of complaint to Virgin, it would help the case tremendously.

Thanks once again

Antix."
to say that i was very surprised that a channel wanting to join was refused would be an understatement
:shocked:

Was it because Living "VM big Channel" is mostly paranormal stuff.

:confused::confused:

if you want top gear in HD tell the BBC and give a reason why and it may happen if enough people do it

I saw a post a few weeks ago on one of the BBCâ€™s blog sites from the Head of BBC HD. In it he said that they were having a HD control truck manufactured and that it would be put to use for next season. So fingers crossed!

No I donâ€™t think you are â€“ unless we are both suffering from creative memory syndrome! I spent ages prior to making my post trying to find it and ended up going round and round in circle on the BBC web site.

Perhaps someone else here will have better luck.
