Just thought i'd mention it as its quite amusing it seems my epg has started censoring programme titles for some reason. Hancock is now Hanc**ck on the epg and a football match feauring A**enal lol. Really? lol totally ridiculous tbh

Are Virgin Media doing an WWE on us by going all PG rated?

The censorship actually makes the match worse:

"Manchester city take on A***nal"

Like you say it makes it worse.

I wonder what they'll do if Scunthorpe FC ever get a mention?

Is this really a fault or is it a Spurs fan writing the epg data?

Virgin Media has seen the funny side and has vowed to fix the glitch.

A spokesperson said: "Over the weekend a temporarily overzealous profanity checker took offence at certain programme titles.

“The altered titles have been swiftly an*lysed and we’re fixing any remaining glitches."

Im sooo sorry but it has to be asked....

Did they outsource the profanity checks to India or something?

no, it was a technical glitch. Should all be sorted now. The adult EPG filter should only be on the Adult Channels.

Re: EPG censorship on V+.
 
I see the joke passed you by :P

Also I wonder if it censored the word Virgin...... (still joking)

Rivva 20-12-2011 00:22
Re: EPG censorship on V+.
 
Pity they've fixed the so called technical glitch regarding the blanking out of certain letters/words on the EPG

The female TV cook of yesteryear F**** cradock's being shown on the Good Food channel over the Christmas p*****

There's also the top 20 Al**** of 2011 on one of the MTV channels

Just wondering if it would've appeared as above if the censorship was still in force

I know it's all irrelevant now but it really was a case of it all being quite pathetic!

I was looking through my BBC News app on my Galaxy S2 last night and the story has appeared on there as well. I did smile at Virgin's official response though, I thought it was amusing.

I know it was a fault DF but according to the link it refers to an overzealous profanity checker...

If it's technically/machine checked I accept things go wrong and glad it's fixed..

But if it's all done by some over the top PC human IMO it is pathetic.

It was a bit of code that should only be applied to the Adult channels EPG, but for some reason it developed a fault and it applied it to all channels. It was not a human deciding to add it to the regular EPG. :)

It is a good job that they did not swap them around? With some of the content on the channels that you monitor :D:D:D:D
