My 95yo mum thinks £5 is enough to give someone at Christmas. She told me the other day that Mr Alabama was coming to visit this country but his father had rang him to say they were lighting fires in Africa so he's gone there instead. Even a fiver's looking dodgy this year.
As I was told once about my 91year old mother "ah bless her"

An channel called "Lifestyle HD" has been confirmed by Virgin Media. We at Media Boy HQ think they mean Lifetime HD - Still waiting on our sources to confirm it.

Was there any reasoning from VM to swap the HD channels for the Sports, but not the Movie channels?

Maybe this will come in the next reshuffle.

Lifetime belongs in the entertainment section of the EPG
LIFESTYLE is a Australian Channel ?

Any news on an app to play bt sport channels? The sky one is great as it lets me play via 4g. Or are we stuck with BT sport via the rubbish TV anywhere app and its lack of working without wifi??
