Yes, and the bill payer will get to choose the channels, which will not please the rest of the family!

Very strange, this. It certainly seems that the dates speculated on this forum should be taken with a pinch of salt - even the VM staff themselves don't know what is going on!

New Rumour:

Universal networks may launch a 3D channel in 2014 on both Sky and Virgin, this would combine the best of SYFY and Universal into one channel in glorious 3D.

The SD and HD channels of Universal and Syfy will carry on as now.

Cheers for info mb

It was supposed to of launched across Telewest areas last night along with the TiVo update. I can only presume they must still be having freezing issues with the app which may be why it was delayed.

Yes, I think it was almost certainly a technical issue.

A Netflix question from the uninitiated

What would Netflix give me that I already don't have? I am on a VIP package.

I currently only have a V+ box but I believe with my bundle I am entitled to a TIVO.

Top shows on demand such as classics like Lost , Supernatural from season 1. Netflix exclusives such as Orange is the new black , Hemlock Grove.
Also you'd get Breaking bad , watch stuff when you want on two devices.
Top movies first such as The Hobbit a unexpected journey , Hansel and gretel Witch hunters , Troll hunter to name a couple.
Access to 1000s of hours of on demand content , classic movies , new movies. It's worth the £5.99 especially if used with a smart dns too then you get usa , canada etc Netflix too.

Good info there, just wondered is there a limit to the number of devices you can use with Netflix? For example could I potentially use it on Tivo, PC, iPad and PS3 or would I be limited?
