What do mean by text? All the channels already carry subtitles where available.

Digital Text is available on the BBC channels by pressing the Red button

Telextext no longer exists on any platform. The company discontinued their services last month

Here is a good point, If these HD channels are coming on, WHAT channels are going off, as l believe l read on this forum, VM don't have enough capacity on its cables.

IIRC 1 analogue channel = 10 Digital channels or 4 HD channels

The main point is that they DID say it (Arthurgray50@blu was right) but it was being inferred on here that he made it up or was somehow mis-quoting!

The fact that VM said this is a massivly positive thing. Yes there are contactual agreements that need to be done and no we still wont get the Sky HD channels but they are not ignoring that they know we want more HD and all the non Sky ones surley are more than possible to get!

IIRC, VM were making no predictions of how many HD channels they would be carrying back in 2008. Also did they actually say they would be launching up to 30 channels by the end of 2009 or did they say that it was an aspiration for some time in thenot too distant future? I think if people suspect that information being quoted is wrong they have a right to ask for links to back it up.

I have just seen on Wikipedia that E4 +1 is on the M package in Ex-ntl and Ex-CW areas but is on the L Pack in Ex-Telewest areas of Virgin TV.

Can any Ex-Telewest viewer with the M Package tell me if E4 +1 has appeared on their pack.

from the virgin media sofa email

We’ve spoken to our teams and have some great announcements coming up in 2010. Your calls for more HD channels will be answered as well as looking into better upload speeds.

I have just noticed something, concerning CBS channels.

On VM they only have CBS Reality, an yet to me the best one is CBS Drama, all the channels from CBS are on Sky, so why are they not on VM. Any reason?:)

Please provide a link to the article that Virgin Media have said that. I can't find one, or is this just another Arthurgray50 fantasy quote?
