Well lets hope this is the lull before the storm then.:)

If I have the choice I will record something in HD but I really don't care if it's not. If you see what I mean :)
You can add me to this group as well.

As I have a recording box, I feel the same about the +1 channels.

I'd much prefer a single additional channel with new content to half a dozen "new" HD/+1 channels.

Sorry with regard to +1, I rather like them A lot of the channels I want to record seem to fit in to the 9pm slot & then +1 comes in to it own :p:

UKTV strikes deal to air 350 hours of C4 content.

UKTV is to take over from Discovery as Channel 4’s secondary rights partner for factual and lifestyle content, after signing a 350-hour deal.


The multi-year, multi-million pound agreement for programmes made by 16 indies will see the likes of Embarrassing Bodies, One Born Every Minute, A Place in the Sun and River Cottage air across UKTV’s portfolio of pay and free-to-air channels for the first time.

Home, Good Food, Really and Yesterday are being lined up as homes for the bulk of the shows in what is billed by commercial executive director Keith Porritt as a clear sign that UKTV is “coming of age again”.

Not sure why this will make any difference to Virgin subscribers.At least given the new packages .If I understand them correctly
However it may give freeview some extra programmes , or have got all of this wrong - :p:

Just tell viewers about it (So you can tell her indoors);)

Maybe now Discovery will axe Discovery Travel and Living.

And with Tivo, you don't have to spend time keeping an eye out for if and which channel they may end up on; just add them to a whishlist and job done. I did that with last years new US shows and it worked a treat.

Yes, as with HD - some like, some don't. I tend to watch rather than record (why I prefer V+ to TiVo, reminders and Red Button are important to me).

All such things have to be with regard to personal benefit.

On the 1st June, some music channels are moving packages:

Magic (340) going from L Pack to M+ Pack

Kiss (336) - L Pack > M+ Pack

The Box (335) - XL Pack > M+ Pack

Kerrang! (342) - XL Pack > L Pack

Smash Hits (337) - XL Pack > L Pack

How come customers on lower packages get more channels whilst XL package gets de-valued?

XL customers got the likes of Eden HD, Good Food HD, Watch HD, Dave HD, SKY Arts 1 HD, SKY Arts 2 HD plus plenty of On Demand content last year which M+ and L customers didn't. The XL package was strengthened at no extra cost to its customers. Virgin added plenty of value to XL last year.

I don't have a problem with a few channels dropping into M+ and L. These customers need new channels from time to time, just like us guys on XL and VIP.

The 5 channels dropping down in package don't exactly attract major viewing figures.

Let's see what Virgin add to XL in the coming months to add more value. We know Alibi HD is on it's way, which is a start.
