Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

There's no point asking "When will my headend be NGTV?" as nobody is able to give this information.

I understand everyones concerns and we all want to get the new HD channels... sit tight... they are coming very soon....Only a very small amount of customers will be waiting until June.

I agree it is a bit of a cock up , im in the norwich area and i bet i will be switched over almost last. Im especially annoyed because i think there is some decent stuff on eurosport HD in april and may , and i probably will not get to see it in Hd.

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 [COLOR="Silver"]
How very kind of you to acknowledge that I am entitled to my opinion.... it is of course the correct one

Oh thanks very much you lucky *******.

---------- Post added at 18:53 ---------- Previous post was at 18:27 ----------

Does when you received the new UK4 software have anything to do with timing of when you will be switched over to NGTV.? And is there anyone out there who still has not got the UK4 software.?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Over the last month VM have released press release after press release with 6 new HD channels coming and their not stopping there.

The last 2/3 pages are people just moaning that there might be a slight delay for them getting these new HD channels which is due to the NGTV upgrade being completed.

I myself are one of those that will not get these HD channels for 1st/2nd April.

The fact VM are completing the NGTV upgrade which benefits all VM customers and the fact they are listening and starting to produce promises around more HD content.

So for those that who wish to moan and curse about a possiable month delay (no doubt it will be done sooner) either except that VM are doing this for the greater good or GO TO SKY

NGTV post gives all the inforamtion needed so go moan there.
