=== Own by Zee Entertainment Enterprises ===
-ZEE Café
-Zing


I doubt that Zee Cafe will ever make it to VM. The owner once said to a colleague that it is a bonus channel designed to encourage their customers to use Sky to receive their channels as:

- They make more money from customers who receive their channels via the Sky platform.

- They are able to carry this channel on Sky as the associated carriage costs are cheaper than VM.

Zee Cafe is only listed due to that having the same owners as Zing.

Can you give me next week's lottery numbers since you're clearly gifted in the art of predicting the future?

Only have to go by the coming soon thread for last year to easily make the assumption that not much is coming soon. No need to be psychic or a rocket scientist ;)

I can confidently predict that VM will give you another price rise before giving you something better than The Africa channel, if that helps

If any of the 4 channels mentioned on DS launch then you will be incorrect.

I have never had any streaming problems since I moved to Sky. Not many Virgin customers can say that unless they don't actually stream, as the streaming problems affecting all customers even hit the media a few months back. I was a virgin customer for numerous years so I am aware of how bad their local network issues are and how often they rear their head, along with how they affect streaming.

So I have an educated view on this compared to yourself who just wants be shouty and make silly claims while contributing no actual argument of any merit.

You have only had Sky for a short period of time, so not sure your comments are valid. As Denphone says, he has never had a problem and neither have a number of other posters on this forum. You had a bad experience that doesn't mean that everyone has.

Hopefully you won't have a fault and be subjected to Sky's **** poor response that many Sky customers complain bitterly about particulaly with broadband when you have to wait x days for an openreach engineer to get to your property.

You are an individual that that had a bad experience on VM and there are others like you, however there are similar poor experiences from people with other suppliers. Not sure they go on their previous suppliers forums though and spend their life bad mouthing them. Do you get time to do anything else?

My main poor experience with "Virgin" is postings here that seem to come straight for the ad dept:erm:. Yet for the odd gem I still come here - sad, is it not :dozey: TiVo was I FEEL over hyped in its early days -I know it has died down now - Still like my V+ . App`s was a another coming soon that flopped in my book.
Have had complete control of a Sky+ box for 24 hours. Anything that comes soon to Virgin will in the overall setting for me simply push them further ahead. As for the channels suggested as " coming in " NOT interested in them . ABC ,CBS or NBC on to TV on demand would be good - Not going to happen - but a guy can wish :cool: Wonder if .. not for posting here perhaps. Any TV/PC tec`s out there :confused:

A pointed out, there were known national problems so the only way a virgin customer can deny it didn't happen to them is if they were not doing streaming over those many months. So you can repeat that all you want and it doesnt make it true.

Hopefully you won't have a fault and be subjected to Sky's **** poor response that many Sky customers complain bitterly about particulaly with broadband when you have to wait x days for an openreach engineer to get to your property.

Ask anyone in this forum who has moved to sky how they feel sky has dealt with them. Can't fault them in any way. Even if it took x days for an openreach engineer, that is miles better than the 6 months it took with no action at all being taken on an oversubscribed node I was connected too. I can see the graphs of many in my area and they are still experiencing horrendous packetloss. You really have no idea.

Hello my favourite hypocrite. First let me point everyone towards your entire posting history here, which can be found via searching your name. That will show that a majority of your posts are attacking sky and trying to protect virgin. It will also show you go into the Sky related forums to have a dig too. So don't spout that crap unless you can live with the hypocrite tag.

ITV Re brand goes live

ITV has today rolled out its major rebrand across the entire business, including a 'colour-shifting' new logo and refreshed identities for all five of its channels, including ITV1 changing to just 'ITV'.

Unveiled in late 2012, the new "modern, unifying brand identity" has now been introduced across ITV Plc, the ITV Network and all six ITV Studios production offices around the world, along with ITV's online and on-demand products including ITV Player.

From today, ITV1 is now just ITV and the five UK channels - ITV, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and CITV - all have the redesigned ITV logo
