This will cheer you all up i'm sure :D anyway i've just had a phonecall of a source saying soon you'll be able to share your Tivo viewing with your friends on Facebook, you can simply click like on a programme and it will tell your friends you watched that show, similar to Netflixs' Facebook sharing option.

Dear god, how appalling. Another reason I'm glad to be a TiVo refusnik...

That's one reason only Sir but there are 10 reasons or more on why people should get a TiVo.:)

Virgin Media may move Quest +1 to M+, L packages as Quest +1 has just on Freeview.

It's one reason indeed, but I have many more. Yet I've debated this many times and nobody can offer me anything that TiVo offers me over my V+ that I'm interested in. Sorry. :)

Unfortunately, if you want to stay with VM, there will come a time when you have no choice but to give up the V+.

It is not my intention to attack or offend either. Most of us know MB uses "an" when he does not need to, most of us let it go though. Goodness knows many of us make grammatical errors which are constantly ignored. It seems MB is always highlighted though.

If you are going to highlight and post grammatical errors from others, please try not to make them yourself - I do find it as comical as I do ironic. As far as I remember, you are supposed to use a full stop at the end of a sentence.

I am happy to be corrected (on both my grammar and/or lack thereof) though. :)

I do wish you could find it in your heart to be accurate and remember that the indefinite article "an" should only be used when preceding a vowel or vowel sound. Otherwise use "a"

Please understand that I am not attacking you personally neither is it my intention to offend.

Kind regards

No one's perfect, and you shouldn't have to be flawless to make constructive suggestions to others. As Media Boy has a regular and extensive section on this thread, this may go some way to explaining why you feel that he gets more negative feedback on his grammar than others do.
I think on forums there's a good debate to be had as to whether constructive suggestions should be given in public in the thread or privately by PM.

"Up to a quarter of the TV audience in the UK is posting content related to the show they are watching on Facebook."

The way people watch and enjoy TV is evolving and it looks like Virgin will be leading from the front in terms of social media interaction. Not everyone's cup of tea however this type of live interaction is expected to grow quickly over the next 24 months.

It has struck me for some time that the rise in people watching live tv and posting to social media has occurred at about the same time as the rise in time shifting. Surely this suggests that live tv is far from dead, or even dying, and a complete switch over to streaming services is still some way off ?
