its quite possibel with the network they will have and if they open it up so channels only have ot pay for a epg and bandwidht of the channel then they could launch channels before they launch on sky so giving people a incentive to join knowing virign is the first platform things ill launch on instead of sky and then get the channels the good ones ie not shopping or adult that are on sky and get them on virign so they can then offer the same as sky but maybe for less? the cinemagic deal is now the topping on the icing so to say ther enow competeing with sky wonder if voip cusotmer will get it:?

I subscribe to Sky movies with VM but Disney Cinemagic is not available just running VM trailers. Not for me you understand but for my grandaughter when she stays. Any ideas why?

To me it seems that it may mean that the card switch in my area is imminent, though I am just speculating there.

Pardon me, I've just dropped one.

A channel, that is. I've gone down to 315 channels with 33 streams on a standard V Box in an ex-C&W/ex-NTL area.

I do have BBC News Multiscreen now but I guess you don't navigate it using the numbers on the keypad (e.g. 400 for weather) as you would on Sky. It's all menu based, is that correct?

That Channel will be Fun Kids that was broadcasting on Virgin Channel 926.

Perhaps she likes to be spoiled.

Haven't Sky Movies subscribers always had Cinemagic?

With Sky but not with VM

Someone has post on DS Forums that Disney Cinemagic is on the XL Pack - its not.

It only free if you have Sky Movies in or an VIP.

Hi Media Boy, IF VM are going to have Channel M, i assume this will only be for Manchester, as this is a very good channel, l have it on Sky. As normally with VM they bring out this new services, but these ar for the local area, which is not fair, as it would be great to do what Sky do, you can get any channel by putting the channel number into EPG, and we watch Scottish TV all the time, being my wife is Scottish.

Channel M is already on Virgin in Manchester

Arthurgray50@blu · 01-12-2009, 15:23

What l am saying is WHY can't Channel M be all over instead of just MANCHESTER.

bayonet · 01-12-2009, 15:50

Yep I've got SKY movies but cinemagic's still not on

due to contracts sying they can only carry it lcoally, virign can easily make sur eit is local but sky cant since anyoen can access the satillete where it distrubute this is acutally one thing virign is better at than sky they can block channels from areas
