Well what can I say? I have been thinking to myself for the last while "where have the channels I used to watch gone" never quite been able to list the channels, just aware something is happening. So I search around the internet and find this forum...

I have been a VM customer for as long as I can remember, Telewest before that, first adopter for the V+ service many years ago now. Anyway the amount of channels that I would regard as quality viewing are on the decline, I don't page down much now till I am at the shopping channels, also as far as I'm concerned when we have a channel and then the same channel +1 and then the same channel in HD that is one channel and not three, convenient yes but still one channel.

I also think we are a few years into this and we still have limited HD channels so that I can't regularly utilise my 1080P TV and projector. As a previous poster said TiVo might be great but not so if we can only watch "Freeview" channels and Terrestrial. I personally would love to see... Boardwalk Empire, Blue Bloods, Mad Men, Game of Thrones. Also where can I see Sons Of Anarchy, Leverage, Spartacus? that’s all I can remember but sure I used to watch more.

Anyway, a VM letter drops through the door today telling me about price rises to my services. Cheek if you ask me.

To try and finish on a positive, loyalty is high on my personality profile. I think the V+ service is great. Some of the VOD content and catch up etc is good. I want to stay with VM but I’m finding it difficult to justify at the moment.
