If you really want BBC Alba, you can see it live via Zattoo or one of the other streaming players. However it should be on the VM lineup.

It just boils down to "I think they should get rid of (insert list of channels I don't watch)".

I think we should start a new thread, " please close this channel 2010"

I would start off with radio stations on TV

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

I personally don't see any reason why Virgin would want to add BBC Alba to their line-up. Depending on what report you read there are only 55,000 to 80,000 people in Scotland who speak Gaelic, none of the Gaelic speakers use it as their first language. It's mainly spoken in the North West of Scotland including Skye, Lewis etc. Do Virgin offer cable up there? Trust me if all you want it for is the re-run of one of the SPL games per week you'll get bored very, very quickly. The SPL is murder.

Not quite a door stop. It's yours so you could flog it on ebay or such like.

Why would you want VM to drop any of the channels they currently offer? The emphasis should be on maximising the amount of choice that is available. Now that the NGTV platform is being rolled out across the country, we will soon be in a position whereby space for new channels is no longer a problem.
