What I'm saying is that there are already ways to achieve what +1's aim to achieve, but do so with more flexibility, and also with better quality, although I accept that's not necessarily the priority for most. I can't understand the clamour for them. They don't add new content, they're not in hd, and Virgin already offer a range of ways to time shift your viewing, including the provision of a set top box which resolves the recording clashes which appear to be the main reason people want them.

No?

So you will not be happen to hear that Channel 4 are rumours to be set to launch an Channel 4 +1 HD Channel.
