Well, as an existing customer, I still have the V+ only.

However if you make any change to your core bundle, you'll be required to move to TiVo.

Does this downgrades to TV packed? I'm thinking of moving down from XL.

In the event of a national emergency, BBC1 would be taken over by the Government and become the 'Emergency Broadcasting Service'.

It's important to note that this service, whilst run by the BBC, would not be independent, it would essentially be a mouthpiece of the Government.

So no change then ;)

I thought of these posts today regarding what I was told as to one of the reasons why BBC1 isn't encrypted on VM when I heard about what the Government want to do to the BBC.

I've always thought that, as the BBC is accused of political bias by both the left and the right, that this showed that they have the balance about right.

However, David Cameron has other ideas to make the BBC more Tory friendly:

Curiously, S4C HD is only available on a part time basis to VM customers, whereas it is available 24/7 to non paying viewers off the EPG!

Non customers currently also get access to Fox News and some NDTV asian channels.

...no sooner had I posted this, S4C HD was removed.

Looks like it was only there in the background for the football.

I can confirm that you're correct Ben.

Due to a cock up in changing from a TiVo to a V6, I'm currently only able to receive and record the FTA channels:

And there is a very annoying message moving around saying I need to ring 150 due to "a problem".

Looks like those using FTA services will need a non TiVo box if they are to avoid this.
