Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. I - Page 18

Media Boy UK · 26-01-2010, 17:34

Digital Spy's ''In the know'' poster Technix thinks Eden +1 (209) and YeSTERDAY +1 (204), which were removed for Watch (+1), should be returning very soon.

Great feature!
If you know what you are looking for, USE this instead of browsing.
Searches are less than one second (apart from the typing in letters bit of course :P )

One of the best features IMO.
I'm guessing you were the one that implemented it, if so very big pat on the back, i'm well chuffed lol.

As for playlists, in the future, will there be a feature for cueing tracks?
Would be great as it could be the same as now where when you press it, it says program will start soon (or whatever it says) but before-hand a list is given, and the box will automatically find it?
I've probably made it complicated, but I'm sure you know what I mean :P

WOW !!!!

XL TV subcribers loose 4 channels to the L TV package and we gain 2 multicast channels which with the V+ box are not needed.

thats a crappy deal even if im the only one that thinks so.

its bad because people on LTV are getting channels that were exclusive to XL tv with no price increase. XL subcribers are still paying money but are betting less exclusive channels.

its all nice for people on L TV that are getting extra channels for nothing but VM are not thinking that by moving all these channels to L TV package they are decreasing the value of the XL pack.

Sky dont mess about like this and if XL dont get soe new channels soon it may be worth looking at Sky or reducing to L TV pack as the gap between XL tv and L TV pack is getting smaller by the month.

now i know you cant talk about the channels itself but when you say more channels on XL are you talking about actual channels or more + channels. As just adding + channels dont really do anything to inprove the recent devalueing of XL

Yes i belive that there will be more channels as i have not doubted any of them (eg andrewcrawford/mediaboy/nook) and they have all seemed to be on the button . So i will wait and see what is due to start ?

I was having a convo with customer service the other day and they said to me they have quite a few channels in the pipeline but they aren't allowed to reveal which ones they are.

Heres hoping we get some decent ones.

They are correct, the reason they cant reveal..... is the channels names aint readily available although some virgin staff do know but i doubt customer service maybe the managers
