I think Virgin Media did not realise that it affect deaf people so much.

Losting Sky One and News that have many subtitles.

Now it is replaced into Virgin Central channels 119 and 120 which means there are no subtitles on these programmes, plus on demand, plus replay programmes are not subtitled.

There are 8 millon hearing loss people in UK (one in every 7) would not understand much if there is no subtitles or sign language on these programmes.

Virgin Media better to replace these channes which have subtitles or better to put subtitles on Virgin Central demand programmes.

Deaf People are not happy!!
