Ah you want a VCR with VCRplus. :D


Back to the Eighties with you :p:

I think that's a good thing to have in these discussions.

I know where your coming from, Virgin Media are a LONG LONG way from perfect and get a lot of things wrong but this is a forum full of/for people on Virgin Media, it's never going to be unbiased.

Personly I would never go to Sky because of RM and his spawn. I'm more likly to sign up for Gaddafi TV! :shocked:

That is your choice to be honest I can't stand RM myself , but they have to be credited with some things.

No that's VM saying they are launching 80 HD channels when that many do not even exist yet.

Oh, that's not what they said though. They said that technically they COULD launch 80 HD channels if they want in 2-3 years.

Another myth dispelled.

DF you are getting me totally wrong I'm not bashing TIVO saying it's rubbish , in fact if you check my previous posts I've praised it , I'm merely trying to look at the 3.00 charge from a non fanatical point of view.

I know you're not bashing it. I think you are misunderstanding my posts too :)
