Second what PB said nowtv looked awful on my samsung 40inch led tv until i tweaked the settings a bit, now it looks pretty decent.

I think the default settings are designed to look best in shops but not in people's houses.

The modern sets have what they call a "shop" setting, seems to bring out the best on the bigger screens, especially in large stores.

BT Sport Europe +1 is now testing on satellite, I wonder if it will appear on VM?

Heard rumours that channels may be able to extend their ad breaks by saving up their 12 mins per hour allowance. I imagine that they will reduce advertising during off peak hours so that they can sell more airtime during the more lucrative peak times.

Mine doesn't have shop mode, but i found setting the picture setting to natural gives a superb picture but because i game a lot i tweaked the contrast too.

I was told the main idea of SHOP mode is they always reset back to the defaults to stop people messing up the settings.

Been looking through some shows not yet picked up by a uk network and narrowed it down to ones that VM could potentially go for to continue their exclusive on demand content. IMDB links are included too.
Damien - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4337944/combined now cancelled but still decent.
Stitchers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3868848/combined
Salem - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2963254/combined
The red road - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2505072/combined
The fosters - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262532/combined very surprised this hasn't been picked up yet.
Last man standing - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1828327/combined

Damien is very good. I'm up to episode 9. If a UK broadcaster gets it, it's worth a watch. Shame it's being cancelled.

This is VM though, logic and VM rarely go together.

Was VM not just doing what Sky had done with its own platform though, and probably at Sky's suggestion too?
