Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.

Even as a Sky customer I applaud VM for these additions , after all pressure on Sky is bound to benefit me as well. Well done VM , I can't believe people are moaning.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.

Pleased to see some progress at last on the HD channel line up, they are not really my cup of tea ,but I know there are a number on here who will be delighted.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.

The channels wouldn't have been at the top of my personal wish list, but more HD is always welcome as far as I'm concerned. VM have tended to add HD in batches previously - so lets hope for the same again! :D

Same here. It's where those TiVo wishlists come in very handy. They pick up all sorts of gems I wouldn't otherwise know about (and that never get covered on the so-called music channels).
