Well I was actually speaking about the TV service but since you mention it the whole network is bandwidth strapped. Nice to hear you are helping with this by your constant uploading. Unless, of course you are a hit and runner.

Well shortly you will only be able to do that overnight thanks to the new draconian limits being imposed because the network is bandwidth strapped. Hopefully you will remember to turn off your torrents before you leave for work in the morning.

VOD is just like the red button services on Virgin - Extremely iffy.
Yep I reckon it was a good choice on VM's part to pick an old mpeg2 PVR out of SA's bargain bin.
No more HD channels for you in the foreseeable future cause the service is bandwidth strapped.
I fully agree Anytime is a joke. Everybody knows it is. I think I might have mentioned that earlier. If not then in some other thread.

They can'd find there own successes so instead they resort to nicking other networks successful programmes like Lost, prison break and 24 and pass them off as their own!
V1 has been launched since November and prime time has been mostly new content! Crime invasion, Death row dogs, the envy series, city in fear, Riches, Chuck, SCC, caribbean cops, Bob the exorcist, Extroadinary humans etc! I could go on!.
See.. there you go again. Promoting V1 against Sky1 with such a manic fervour. Of the two of us you are the only one who cares. Never once have I promoted the Sky1 channel. The only thing I would promote is the Sky TV Platform. I think V1 and Sky1 are both equally crap and pretty much never watch either of them. The difference is only that Sky1 shows A-rated quality crap in 16.9 while V1 shows mostly B-rated crap in 4.3.
Oh dear! I mentioned that V1 is a 4.3 channel again didn't I, tsk, tsk.
