I use Grabit (news reader prog) and news.virginmedia.com:119 as the server. You don't need a username and password like you did with ntl because they look at your ip address to know that you are on the network. If you do that and then click on update groups you should be able to get the full list.

Re: link to news groups

What newsreader are you using?
you may find that using text.news.virginmedia.com is a lot better than the other one.
it's text groups only and no binaries.
