For Media Boy. It looks like the Wearside headend, including Washington, has been updated. We`ve now got the radio channels and news multiscreen.

Anything else charged is for the activation of the equipment and the service on the account.

Also as the box hasn't launched yet any prices are still not 100% confirmed

So it's only Â£15 for self install.....so where did that person I spoke to get Â£49.99 from then Ben :dozey: Did they just pluck it out of thin air like normal?

Ah anyway im laughing I got free hd box and free hd for a year off sky and now a free one off virgin and I am probably the worse person to get it since I can stand the crap they have in HD except some of mtv hd.

Years ago I was in the TV department of Alders (remember them?) and they had two tv's next to one another - one 50hz, one 100hz. The difference was astonishing.

More than what I see I cannot comment on.

100Hz was useful for reducing flicker on CRTs, it's true. On digital displays (LCD/plasma) which don't refresh in the same way, it's much less useful. Many 100Hz TVs are now better than many 50Hz TVs but it's not because of the 100Hz, it's because of all the other componentry etc.

(The best thing about modern 100Hz TVs is that most of them also do 96Hz and so can play 24fps material without pulldown judder.)

So can a VIP customer upgrade to the new V box to replace their second box?

Info from BenMcr

Media Boy thinks: I think I know why Virgin Central is being removed from Channel 118 for.

From Thursday the Virgin TV lineup will look like this (Channels 113 - 119)

113. (For ITV1 +1? - Not in Scotland or Ireland)
114. ITV2
115. (For ITV2 +1?)
116. ITV3
117. ITV4
118. (For ITV1 HD?)

I think ITV1 HD is the more likely option.
