I don`t know why Media Boy bothers posting up his "coming soon" thread as it always ends up in the usual Amigos posting ***** too each other. :mad:

l am sure things are coming soon but the question is how long is a piece of string and also my answer to people who complain about MB's posts is that he does it for nothing and works hard to do it so if people don't like it then as someone else said don't bleedin read it.:)

Sorry -I for one are not complaining about MB , if nothing is happening & that is no ones fault ( well perhaps Virgin) I personally do not find rumors that interesting & tend to skip read that.
However that does not negate my point that if we ALL stopped posting banter while we wait. This thread would fall off the page,so to speak :erm:

The previous moderation post was a general one, aimed at everyone, not specific individuals. I would remind you all that this forum takes a dim view where moderation posts are ignored. If anyone continues to post arguing about who called who what, or otherwise cannot be civil to each other, they will find themselves on the receiving end of infractions.

Some posts will be deleted or edited.

Wow, for a minute there I thought we might discuss whether Virgin has a duty to provide public broadcasts of the Olympic Games, paid for by the licence fee, to all it's customers.

I am very grateful that Media Boy has raised this issue with people within Virgin.

That is certainly an interesting question, Emel. But not one for discussion in this thread :)

It's only duty is to it's shareholders, surely?

Why wouldn't we discuss whether Olympic programming is coming at all for the majority of Virgin viewers.

I agree that Virgin has a duty to it's shareholders to make a profit but is it really correct that they can use public broadcasting to drive sales for Tivo. Shouldn't they do that by providing a first class service?

I think we have all paid for this content already in the licence fee.

VM will provide coverage in line with the capability of the STB that the customer has.
