Yeah, checkout the screenshots on that page. There's also this text:
Quote:
Choose TV Choice On Demand and select TV Choice L (you may notice the TV Choice XL option – this is available)
|
Wasn't TV Choice £7 extra per month on Size L?

That's speculation.
In fact, didn't VM remove the option to add on TV Choice to M+/L? So now their adding an L-sized option back for nothing.

I do use the service at times, but I find not all programs are there and I end up using online services.

When the PPV's where on Extreme Sports they did 10pm-1:30pm for adverts. But on Challenge it just says 10pm-1am. Im sure Sky will include adverts.

Cool. if you can find any links that show the timings are different, I'll raise it to our Broadcast Team.

Of course, we all would, on our own STB/TiVos.
VM can't win. If they say something its  , "yeah whatever, coming soon whenever", and if they say nothing its  , "Virgin don't communicate with their customers enough. They should say something."
|
Totally agree. If they communicate to their customers about future plans, people moan and if they don't say anything people moan.

If you sign up to broadband and re contract for another 12 months I take it this just means for the broadband and you could stil cancel your other services.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
so we getting extra bonus, from late spring red button
Digital Fanatic posted some info about thre red button
We’re giving you more control with Sky Sports red button.Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.
If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one! thank too Digital Fanatic who posted is new on the red button forum on here .
