To actually find genuine rumours that people such as theone2k10 is getting harder and harder.

Cue the clique responses to say if you don't like it don't read it and check the change log thread, well as long as they got a thread to post chit chat to each other that's all that counts.

Am out.
Including this one, I have to say, Paul.

There are very few genuine rumours now because most of the missing channels of any merit have been launched.

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps you could exclude all the regular posters on here except for those of whom you approve. However, you will be missing out on a lot of entertainment in the process.

It's been said before, and I'll say it again. If you only want to read about what is really confirmed, look at the changelog, because very little is pre-announced these days.

If you like it its good, if you want to watch newer films its not!

Have fun
But redbull, in terms of adding to content, this is good.

As far as the films are concerned, we can get first run films on a PPV basis via Virgin Movies. After 6 months, they are on Sky Movies, and then after 2 years they are shown by a variety of outlets, including Netflix and Lovefilm.

Clearly, you only need to subscribe to those channels and streaming services that have the material that you want to see.

Don't forget also that Netflix are expanding their selections with new programming as well as providing whole series of programmes that have been denied to us by the broadcast channels in this country. Breaking Bad series 3 onwards is an example of that.

The HBO On Demand app mooted to be coming to VM might be more suited to you as this will contain first run shows, but it looks like that will be PPV.

this is a forum and a really good one. this thread makes the most traffic i believe from what i can see. i dont know why the forum would want to stop or discourage friendly discussion. it really put me off this place to be honest.
We all know that this is actually Media Boy's thread though, Vince. Unfortunately, MB's normal listings didn't feature at the beginning of this one due to this change, which was a pity because this is what people should be able to refer back to from whichever page they were on.
