They seem to have an annoying system, whereby once the the first lot of episodes are removed from the service (it should say how many days they have left on there), the remaining ones are added. They did this with Chuck Season 1, much to my annoyance.

Not until Feb. 2010 - ITV are waiting on an report before they make up their mind on ITV1 +1.

No news on ITV1 HD yet - sorry.

Has Virgin Media axe Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio?

An Ex-Telewest viewer has email me to say that Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio has gone from the London area.

Can anyone from the London area of Ex-Telewest, Ex-CW or Ex-ntl viewer tell me if Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio is still broadcasting on their area.

Whats with all the axing of stations? Is it to free up bandwidth?

No.. it's to do with changing the National head-end to just Langley. So if we can't get the radio station from a satellite feed then we can't carry it.

So any local radio station will have to be dropped.

I think that will mean BBC Radio 4 LW (on Channel 911) and your local BBC Radio Channel (From Channel 937) may also appear.
