i think that star gold, star one, zee cafe and zing are considered good by the south asian community

and yes +1 channels are not crap, but they are no that good either, just useful with TIVO

For example I would rather see Premier Sports and Premier Sports Xtra over 4 +1 channels any day.

why can't we have both premier sports and preimer sports extra and +1 channels, if you don't want to watch or record +1 channels, then thats up to you, but as far i (some other people) are conserned, i find them useful

i would however like to premier sports and preimer sports extra as soon as possible

Re: 3Tb 6 Tuner TiVo

Technically something similar should be available very soon.... Multi room streaming ;)

Having two boxes gives you a theoretical 2Tb Storage and 6 tuners to play with.

You need never to leave the house again

Wikipedia says Baby TV launch on Sky in February 2007.

But Baby TV was one of the first channels to launch on Telewest after the NTL takeover in 2006.

So cant be long now until Baby TV need the new deal.

Also Fox International did given Virgin FX HD before they got any of the Sky HD Channels.

That will never happen. Virgin Media are more interested in HD channels and sports channels than +1 channels. Virgin Media have a path to grow to 80 HD channels in 2 years
