So if the past is anything to go by then something big is coming.

I would be very happy if this was the preparation for the Sky channels launch, but recent indications have been that this won't happen until the end of October at the earliest. So perhaps these guys were staying late to get Netflix up and running.

That's right - I made the point only because Media Boy reported no channels to launch this week.

Of course, we have no way of knowing whether this is correct anyway since everything is so hush-hush!

I know you say staff were in this weekend, but what staff you refering to?

Customer Services, Technicians, Management, Product Development, Marketing, Finance, Web Team etc?

VM have staff working every weekend, can you be a bit more specific?

My friend is a senior manager at VM in Scotland and she works plenty of weekends but I don't see the relevance to your post.

No, me either. But I think the timing is interesting, as presumably all TiVo users will have Netflix as an option by December. Perhaps this is a response from Picturebox to that.

I have been told last week that Netfix will be an add on with the cost being £5.99 per month.

I found on Saturday that Virgin Media are still offering Baby TV as an add on channel via 'TV Channel upgrade' on V Boxes.

Just technicians and marketing staff bud.I asked my source to be more clearer in future lol. Looking at what MB posted i think it's safe to say no channels will launch this week but old boy may have a point too about Netflix.
