wont be moving but I will def be downgrading

[MalteseFalcon]

I hope any new channels added will not require a reboot of boxes between 1 and 3 in the morning. Am recording a programme for a friend who will be cross if it gets spoilt by new channels.

Saying that, I am looking forward to seeing what channels do launch tomorrow, if any do after all this. I wouldn't want to be in retentions tomorrow for Virgin. It was busy enough today, 30 minutes on hold to Virgin to pay for the line rental up front. Apparently their phone systems had been clogged all day.

I just finished my shift in the Wythenshawe call centre we have had 50 -60 calls queuing all day all about bt sports

On Thursday I said in my e-mail virgin are having a football day we have been told to dress as footballers.

there has been about 12 e-mails flying about for overtime on Thursday for retention calls the more we save the more tickets we get to Manchester united Manchester city matches.

we have also been told that a video conference will happen with bt at 22.15 tonight from hook in Hampshire.

in the retentions department we have been told that if a customer really wants to leave we may be able to offer sky sports half price for 6 months but not in hd. or a broadband upgrade or spotify free

our comms department are saying that virgin is looking to launch bt on the 17th august

I have spoken to the network team (head end ) Bromley they told me they have been told to allocate 4 channels for the 12th August for a slate and when I was messing around on our test boxes hear in the faults dept. channels 992 993 both showing a picture of the bt tower in London saying (bt feed ) mpeg

The SS offer sounds good if true, but another coming soon delay for BT Sports. I think it might be too late by then.

Here we go again! I am partial to a 22:15 video conference though. Gonna need a bigger bottle of whisky, is Bargain Booze still open?
