You have got BBC Radio 4 LW on Channel 911 due to you being in an Ex-Telewest areas.

After NGTV as come to your area you will see BBC1 Wales on Channel 864.

ditto

I'm glad someone else has finally said it. I don't find the jump to HD all that monumental. f you have a 100 hz tv or better it makes ALL the difference. Mines a Sony Bravia too.

Ben (or anyone else who works for vm) is any truth in this -

I got called off the person who elevated my case for lack of on-demand access and he was saying that the stand alone hd boxes can be ordered from the 15th with self install for £49.99 & £15 postage and he would add a note to my account for a free one as a good will gesture. And that they were launching them from April 1st.

So any truth in that?

Btw I now have on-demand in HD but no SD.....swings and roundabouts I guess.

are these boxes subsidised much? as it seems a trend within virgin, of no free boxes.
i also take it these new boxes will be compatible with the new tivo software that will be comming in to use in the future

By stand alone HD boxs are you reffering to V+ boxes or V boxes? if its Vbox whats the point of Tivo?

Spring has been cut.

I have been told that Virgin Media hope to add Discovery HD by Mid-May.

The Tivo software UI will run on the boxes and the advanced features that NGTV will bring in the future.

AFAIK if it's a 2nd stb then the normal extra box price stands, if it's replacement for an existing box then there would be no extra monthly cost.

Install prices have yet to be released, but I'd expect them to be around £35.

100hz makes no difference to broadcast tv.

Broadcast TV is 50hz, all 100hz is doing is frame doubling, or interpolating between frames, which rather than increasing the picture quality actually just adds noise.
