Virgin Media have 6 bills, i would have thought that they get more than 6 bills. I mean I must get about 6 per month, what with council tax, virgin media, electricity.
Though how does a bill equate with debt, and what does 'ino' mean and who is yu ?
is that Johnny Yu from the film last dragon ?

Is he in big debt ?

Does he hold Virgin bills ? Do Virgin bills = Shares ?

If that is true then who is johnny Yu in debt to ?

one word okay as in i don't get it

Someone that I know has a "dodgy" box, which I do not agree with seeing I pay £100 to Virgin, but anywho, there have been a few test channels on there, simulcasting the adult stills (SD), this is on the ex-telewest area in Newcastle.

Do you think Virgin Media's "nice surprise" might be the bundling of this service with it larger TV packages? Because that would be a nice surprise!

If they have it will be the XL package only or maybe XXL package if they decide they need a new one jsut like they did for 50mb

It's a channel aimed at simple minded people with IQs in single digits.

Actually, much of that content seems to have been relegated to Living2 whereas Living (and +1 and +2) has a balanced mix of comedy, drama. documentary and music news (http://www.livingtv.co.uk/shows/tv-schedule.php). I primarily watch the drama (e.g. CSI, Criminal Minds etc.) but watch 'Nothing to Declare' and 'Passport Patrol' as 'easy viewing' when I'm doing something else.

I haven't watched the comedy on Living for a while but it's a mix of things I watched as a kid (e.g. Bewitched), things aimed at a teenage audience (e.g. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and the rest are just not my style of comedy. In summary, at certain times of the day, typically evening, it's great and at other times I have better programmes to watch elsewhere.

Overall a !

Some of the content on Living could benefit from HD but I would prefer to see Discovery, History and Nat. Geo. in HD first. I'm not a sports fan but can see the advantage of HD there too.

I have to admit that I don't have a HD TV or V+ Box yet but may get the latter soon just for the PVR capability. As the UK goes digital I expect more people will take up HD, economic 'climate change' permitting, and I'll probably join them at that stage when more content is available and the choice and cost of HD TVs is more favourable.

In Aylesbury, ex-NTL, ex-CWC, Bromley platform on a standard Pace V Box I have 301 channels (31 streams) down from, most recently, 305 and, at one time, 309 channels (if I recall correctly). I guess less is more as they say.
