Where is spiderplant when you need him?

I agree, I think there are some good amateur sleuths out there trying to work out what Virgin Media is up to, and I take my hat off to them for the time and effort they are putting into their mission.

But in the end, it is guesswork and I think VM is ahead of them. I am happier to go by spiderplant's reassurance that there are no capacity issues. I would be very interested to know, however, what he makes of jj20x's comments about all this on DS (see the 'New Channels' thread).

I have a 4k television, but I'm not that worried about 4k channels. The difference for any size television that would actually fit in my lounge is minimal compared to HD, so I don't care. Nothing against those who do care, but HD is fine enough for me.
Take a look at the Amazon channels, for a start. Don't forget that we may be talking about new streaming services as well as Prime.
