How about what people don`t want/ever watch.

For me lose all the music channels + e!,diva, Bio, the list could go on.
Its unfortunate that to get the mix ( plus other things) we like I have to buy XL. It would be great to have pick & mix- Ok I know it will never happen but I can dream:D

Telewest had a pick & Mix service however it was a con cause you picked the middle package and you want 3 channels extra then would be more than the Top package...

Definitely. I don't watch half the channels I have access to. Tivo has introduced me to one or two that I'd have never looked at but are actually quite reasonable, but the fact remains that if I didn't have to have channels that only the wife or kids watch I'd happily be on L or even M+.

I would like not having to have channels I don't want. I don't want the music or the kids channels but have to have them in the XL package.

Then surely the easy option is don't watch them,it's slightly different than not having the option of actually having programs you want to watch.

The point being made, certainly by me, is that I'd like to choose the channels I want, and only pay for them, rather than have to pay for channels I don't want simply because they're bundled with the ones I do.

Of course, I do realise that both Virgin and Sky do this for a reason, namely that some channels simply wouldn't sell, so it's not going to happen.

Yes, you'd have less choice overall if you had "a la carte" subscription as many niche channels would fail to survive

The current one is pretty useless for typing in the search menus

Re: What people want on Virgin TV
 
My personal wish-list for Virgin Media would be to get the TiVo box doing all it's supposed to be capable of, to get any current channels we have in HD (where available) and for at least some of the hundreds of apps we were teased with to finally appear (I'm thinking here of Netflix, etc.). The only channels I would like to see arrive are Sky F1 in HD and Sky Atlantic, also in HD. The range of On Demand programmes might be broadened, too. These points aside, I think VM make a fairly good fist of trying to please all of the people, all of the time.
