Virgin Movies On Demand is fully on offer yet this is just too much to ask, lol.
Live Events work very differently from a platform point of view.

Re: TiVo

Grrrr is all I can say, lol.

The irony being outside David Haye against one of the Klitschko brothers, WrestleMania would be the biggest money maker for Virgin in terms of a live event order.

Not the best time to have an entire channel out of order I guess, lol.

It's not that it can't, it's that the software support it's done yet.

Re: TiVo

Yeah, I have a decent picture of what the situation is now in my head. After the phone call this morning saying it isn't an option and it will be later, I wasn't left with a great deal of options.

I'll try swapping my set top boxes about on Sunday night and hope the Tivo being disconnected for four hours plus doesn't mess it up, lol.

Wrestling is a soap for men. We all know it's fake, but the storylines are pretty entertaining.

Sure paying £15 for an extended episode of eastenders might sound a bit weird, but it's far more entertaining.

Should I watch grown men in shorts roll around faking injury from another man's tackle instead?

Re: TiVo

Not really. It's the same homophobic logic you used to try and mock someone elses taste but nevermind, I am not really in the mood to explain or justify my taste in TV to you or anyone else.
