I didn't even know they were available on VMTV :dunce:

But then again I only tend to watch about 8 channels regularly, and another 1 or 2 very occasionally. And of those most are free-to-air terrestrial channels.

I think we should have no channels at all. Then we could spend 24 hours a day on this forum complaining about the lack of channels.

If i had to choose between ITV 2 +1 ITV 3 +1 ITV 4 +1 and ITV 2,3,4 HD.

I would rather have ITV 2,3,4 HD.

And what irrefutable, infallible proof do you have to substantiate that gauche assumption, Boy?

zekeisaszekedoes 30-11-2011 19:26

Re: Which channels do you not want on Virgin Media.
 
And nowhere in that post is it mentioned as fact. Irrefutable and infallible? No. Fatuous? Certainly.

Basically it's the same as me stating that Channel 4 are bringing back Clangers, and pointing to a picture of the Pope as proof.

Re: Which channels do you not want on Virgin Media.
 
It's unconfirmed idle speculation at best, hardly evidence that what you said is true.

Think about it logically, if you can. What sense would it make for ITV to suddenly drop their +1 channels? It's hardly a lot of outlay to have a timeshifted version, and it most likely increases viewing figures especially in cases where people don't have PVRs.

And FYI, I have glasses. Also a hefty dollop of common sense, something you'd do well to look into acquiring.

Please stop the wrangling.Either stick to the topic or leave the thread.No one is forced to participate in the thread if they find it objectionable.

True that was just a guess doing by past experiences ie More4 +1

Channel 4 took off More4 + 1 and put Channel4 +1 in it's place.

zekeisaszekedoes 30-11-2011 19:39

Re: Which channels do you not want on Virgin Media.
 
Exactly. It was a guess.

It wouldn't hurt to say you're guessing, or reposting speculation, so people aren't misled by you stating something as a fact when it's far too early to say. If I'm ever unsure the phrase "I could be wrong" goes a long way.

Re: Which channels do you not want on Virgin Media.
 
A Good 75% of the total output on XL ! guess we watch no more than 10
( add in +1 & sub channels ie More 4 etc) and it is around 12 to 14 of them.

However I understand that just because I have no interest in them it does not mean other people don`t.
Live & let live I say. Unless ( & I accept this will NEVER happen) It was priced per channel dividing the number on XL by the cost would mean pennies per channel per month :erm: & can I be paid to watch QVC please!!!!:p:

Hmmm. Porn channels have always been disappointing, in my experience. Also remember that TiVo (at least) monitors viewing habits, and maybe it's me just being paranoid but I always envisage a scene like this. I mean, I don't find them attractive, it's just confusing... :D

Re: Which channels do you not want on Virgin Media.
 
Why can't we have both more +1 channels, More HD channels and more channels in general!

Apart from a improvment in the tv channels list, Virgins service is very very good!

Virgin Media TV service is already good

It just needs 15 more HD channels and it would be even better.

I have a feeling that will happen next year as apart of the 80 HD channels target.

The email i got from peter chapman said they were on track for 80 HD channels target and the electric magazine said "watch this space"

I think next year will be a very good year.

Did you just pluck the number 15 out of the air, or do you have a channel roster numbering 15 entries which would unequivicably make Virgin Media better?

The HD channels that virgin media need are that ones that are on Sky.


I Do not count the 5 HD channels that are being witheld/high price by Sky and i do not count Sky Movies Box office HD1 and Sky Movies Box office HD 2.

So i get 51 HD channels.
