+1's and Hindu channel, yay!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

I simply cannot understand why VM put on more and more +1 channels, its a total waste of channel space which could be occupied by new channels.

And why keep on adding channels that no one has heard of or not interested in, it seems that VM just want top annoy customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Sorry Arthur but you really must stop assuming that your preferences are the same as all other viewers. Just because you consider some channels to be a waste of space does not mean that everyone agrees with you. I find the +1 channels a useful addition and would be very disappointed with VM if they did not cater to some less mainstream interests.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

I agree about the plus ones, but there does appear to be plenty that welcome them and this is not a bespoke package, after all. But how on earth can you say nobody has heard of the Discovery channels? I reckon Discovery channel is easily in the top 5 recorded channels in my house. Any increase in content or additional hd channels from this network will be very welcome.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

The plus one channels are very useful as sometimes there are more then three things viewers want to record at the same time so they come in very handy in our household.

Radio News: Bauer Media's bid to buy Absolute Radio falters at the 11th hour.

Bauer Media's bid to buy Absolute Radio is understood to have stalled at the 11th hour with the future of the music station still uncertain.

The German-owned private radio and magazine company emerged as the favourite to buy Absolute, owned by the Times of India parent company Bennett, Coleman & Co, after a rival consortium fronted by former Virgin Radio chief executive John Pearson pulled out.

The reality of multi channel TV is that if you miss a show because you already have 3 things recording then at least one, and probably all of them, will be repeated on its original channel, during the week, and we have terrestrial catch up, making in my view plus one channels a redundant waste of space for anyone with a pvr, and especially those with a TiVo. However, like I say, cable TV isn't bespoke for either Arthur or myself and we have to accept that there are a significant number of people who find them useful-mainly those who understandably don't want to fork out for the TiVo fee I guess. I just believe that the consumer technology exists to resolve the problem that they're supposed to address. Either way, if it means the addition of id and animal planet hd then I'm not complaining.

l think its inevitable that some more channels will arrive soon MB as its not if but when.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Channel number moves and package changes are shouted out loud by VM as if they are something good?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

What are you worrying about then as you are not even a VM customer but of course l just remembered about he that bears grudges.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

This thread is about virgin Denphone, not about me. Another personal attack post. Told you to stop stalking me with you off topic comments. Got a grudge? ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Are you still here? Surely, you have better things to do?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

To be fair, package changes mean channels being made available to people on lower tiers, which IS good news for those people.

Channel number changes COULD mean there is more news to come, but they might simply be saying that they've made a start on tidying up the epg. Which again is good.

I don't know how you would expect any company to proclaim changes to their services, except positively?

It's just that I have never before seen a provider try to make a channel number change sound as if you are getting something exciting from them. I know that kind of news is followed in this thread and on DS as a hobby for some but that is a lot different to virgin posting it on their website as if it is to celebrated.

New channels are obviously different as well as a couple of packages moving between tiers.

Is there a recap of what new and exciting channels have actually been implemented in 2013 and are watchable right now, beside the +1 channels?
