Same here.

Just not the kind of channel I want my 9 year old son to come across when he is watching TV in my bedroom, should be hidden by default and only added to your box when you subscribe. If that's possible.

That's why the Parental Controls are there so he can't find them, and even if the Adult channels weren't on VM at all there is plenty of other material that isn't suitable for a 9 year old that is accessible by default.

Should VM lock everything down 'just in case', or should they expect that those that ask for their services to be installed decide who can access what.

I've hidden them too. I don't know how these channels survive in the internet age, as those attracted to such material can probably find much more extreme titillation on the web for free.

a polish drama??? is there a large polish population in glasgow?? i thought the polish population had dropped quite a lot in the last few years. I'd hope its something stv glasgow is making as it'll look ridiculously cheap and comedy gold but id imagine its something being imported in so will be a proper drama haha

Because not all humans have the same taste as what most might not like it some others might like it.

Polish WW2 drama according to imdb where it also has a very decent 7.9 /10. Might actually be very interesting. Don't often get it from that perspective.

You don't want it from their perspective, just because they had a spitfire squadron and a couple of them where involved in breaking enigma the are adamant we wouldn't have won the war without them... I don't know what the Americans would think about that.
