Surrely all this as been sorted in the deal and discussions whilst dealing with the sale of the channels and the appeal is only for BT/Talk Talk now

No, VM are still behind the appeal regarding Premium content.

Yep Virgin won't walk away from that as if they win it is a long term victory.

This may have been discussed before, if so I appologise.
Where I live we receive ITV London, I was wondering if there are plans to make Meridian available?

I have been told that Virgin hope to launch Sky1 HD, Sky News HD, Sky Real Lives HD, Sky Arts 1 HD and Sky Arts 2 HD on Virgin TV in a few weeks, once the deal has been approved in Ireland.

Dont suppose you know when Red Button interactivity on Sky Sports will be available? This is the 1 thing that stopped me getting Sky Sports.

I read that Virgin can now show some sky stuff on demand is this just ex virgin channels or sky one etc. If so will it be available on tv on demand or on an online player like skys sky player ?

Any news on the EPG overhaul?...

I think if VM were to get there fingers out and give us a fresh new look...they could get more buisness.

When I changed from Sky to VM...the VM's EPG nearly stopped me from switching over.

Expect changes around the end of the year once TIVO starts to roll out.

Any more news on five usa +1 and fiver +1 ?.

[Felim_Doyle]

I want my History +1 back and I expect Diva viewers want their +1 back too. I have watched quite a bit on Military History though which replaced History +1 and I'm sure many are enjoying SyFy HD which, I think, replaced Diva +1. Either that or it was SyFy +1 which I have had occasion to watch too.

Anyone know why CSI Miami can't be shown on Living +2 but can on Living +1? apart from "it's a contractual / copyright issue" which is a bit vague.
