I'm a big fan of the PBS output, especially the American Experience series and the Ken Burns docu's, looking forward to seeing Prohinition and I hope they show some of his previous programs such as Civil War (brilliant!!), Baseball and The West.

Personally I'm delighted with this addition.

A really good addition to the Virgin Media channel line-up. I enjoyed Prohibition.

I'm looking forward to "Special When Lit", a programme about the history of pinball.

Had a look at the line up last night, absolutely zero here of any interest to me.

I'd rather be watching a certain award winning drama about the prohibition era than a documentary about it :)

The picture quality, and the in particular the low quality sound puts me off this channel. I get better picture on catchup. They really have squeezed this one in..

Yep totally agree its the same on satellite , I dont like SD but this doesn't even qualify as good SD.

Yes, I noticed that I could barely read the end credits on a programme last night.

It'll probably become one of my more watched channels, hopefully they can sort the PQ out soon.

From what I can see there are going to be a number of programmes which I shall watching, But as others have said the PQ leaves a lot to be desired.

However for me the EPG for PBS is completely devoid of any programme information, it merely says To Be Announced. Am I alone on this or have VM launched the channel with an empty EPG?

I think it's a known issue for customers on the new software only. I'll check tomorrow, but I did see something about it. :)

It's all ok for other TiVo customers.

Thanks for that DF. Hopefully you will be able to get back to us tomorrow as to approximately when a fix might be implemented.
