It must be a bug then, but a very nice one :)

yes but did they actually stat the names of the channels and what dates they will arrive.

CS say anything to anyone, you could ring up again and be told something different

I phoned VM CS and they say it is a promotional offer for XL TV customers in certain areas, so I suppose anybody in the Luton area on XL TV enjoy Disney Cinemagic while it lasts.

It would have been nice for VM marketing department to let customers know though:(

PS there was no promotional message when switching onto this channel

CS knows very very little the majority of the time they tell you anytihng to get you to stay or sign up. Retentions are even worse. But i will pull down all CS and retentions staff as there is some honest ones out there and they do give truthful informaiton ie informaiton that is available on there intranet. But HD will probally be a big annoucement in the press.

CEO annoucing is sometihng different and since he said it then it true to the form that they are trying to add hd channels. but i doubt they will and they have about 50 days left i think there tv section 1st quarter end in april
