Does anyone know when Tonbridge is going NGTV. What headend are we on?

At least VM are being honest and managing your expectations regarding the rollout... would be worse if they waited until the day they were to launch and then said "oh by the way, you won't get these channels until May etc..."

My area hasn't gone NGTV yet and I may miss out on the launch..not happy, but as I said earlier, you can't expect them to upgrade a soon to close headend, it would be such a waste of money.

Media Boy has already created a NGTV thread.. I'm sure he will be updating that thread as and when he gets more info on rollout.

Some of us will have to endure a little time without the new channels, but it will all be worth it in the end... this is going to be a good year for VM and it's customers!

I think you're off Crawley and you are already on NGTV.

AFAIK they are launching as normal... HD requires upgrades and that is why there is a delay for some.

Totally agree that they are being honest I didnt dispute that, but that doesent mean they are being fair.

I actualy dont mind waiting till June (as long as it is June), as I said I am quite happy with the upscaling capabilities of the V+ - when I select what I am going to watch the issue of if it is in HD or not is quite low down my list of priorities.

But I still think that if I am not getting the same service as others I shouldnt have to pay the same. I know it wont change, and to be honest I am not going to loose sleep over it, I just believe in fairness.

Only a very small percentage will be waiting till June, majority will be upgraded well before then.

You also have to remember that VM are supplying the HD channels as a free add on to your subscription and therefore no refunds will be given.

The other option VM had would of been to delay ALL of the HD launches until June... now I don't think that would be fair either.. the upgrades are for a unified network, so everyone gets the same.

You are of course completely entitled to your opinion on this
