VM have pulled the page. It was a link to trial for BB-only customers to have TV content by "another route".

Why do you say that?
This screenshot from the video suggests that it has the full Horizon 4 function, including Saved, which presumeably comes from the Cloud, as is available with some countries with the TV 360 box.

Recording to the cloud is fine if broadcasters are ok with it. So far that doesn't seem to be the case in the UK.

Recording to the cloud may be the future - however my big concern would be the time limited availability of programmes compared to that of recordings on my hard drive.

The retention period would be a concern for me too but there is little point in discussing recording to the cloud until it starts to happen in this country.

Do they still do “refer a friend” to virgin media bonuses? Sister is having trouble on sky due to huge trees behind them now causing pixelation

I don't know Vince, but last time I did it it took four years, I kid you not, for them to pay out to me. I know i'm not the only one to have had issues receiving the incentive payment as i've seen posts about this in various places

Also, the guy I referred had a terrible time with VM. He ended up leaving as soon as his contract was up. I found it embarrassing as when you do this you are effectively endorsing the company that you do it for.

It put a little strain on our friendship, so i'd never do it again, well, maybe i'd refer an enemy :D

Why else would you use a Refer A Friend scheme? That's the point it's an endorsement.

I recommend products/services for friends and family all the time without getting a bonus, but if that product/service had a scheme I'd use it. But the recommendation would happen anyway. I wouldn't be using the scheme if I wasn't at least pretty happy. If it were borderline-average it wouldn't happen.

Why on Earth would you refer a friend or family to the horror of VM? :D
