I have it on good authority that:
Movies24 is to be renamed Christmas24 on 20th October. Bet you all can't wait :-)

Agreed Mr D.

I’m quite surprised to see it, so unsure if it’s an issue with flags instead of the actual broadcast, but the most recent scans on digital bitrate seem to indicate Virgin are trialling MPEG 4 for SD channels.

Diagnostics of ITV3 SD on my V6 show the video stream as H264.

Will with V+ Boxes you get break up of sound for about 2sec every so often.

Up until last weekend we saw it on HD Channels.

As of last Sunday we started to see it on both ITV3 and Challenge

I was unaware BT showed so many football matches in such a short period of time.

Must get Media Boy to update his 4K football thread. It shows nowhere like 20 games over any 8 day period.

On holiday as you know - stupid reply, just illustrating how little can fill up the V6 disk.

I have interest in other sports such as Rugby Union (also on BT Sports UHD) as well as football. Rugby union and rugby league in lowly HD.

Yes I will have some catching up to do, but that's life.

[RobboEdin]

WOW You’re making it worse.
So, not 20 3 hour sports matches over 8 days, let’s say 24, given extra sport and some in HD.
You’ll watch it all when you come back?
I think you’re now desperately trying to justify your assertion that 1TB is not enough and failing!

You will never catch up! Assuming you will be watching live sport events as you won't have space to record as your V6 is full.

Unless he just fast forwards to the bits he wants to see, and then deletes. I don't know how he also has time to post on cable forum, though!

I suppose remote in one hand and keying in with the left....
