Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Ordered the channels this morning (Sky Sports HD 1 and 2) - the guy said 2 hours.
Still not on - quite worried now...

I have subscribed to Virgin since they launched as NYNEX back in the 1990s, but it just seems that Sky are pulling further and further ahead that it is almost a no brainer - if you can get Sky then why stick with an inferior product which costs similar?
It is getting to a point where you could liken Sky to Waitrose and Virgin to Aldi, only there's no difference in price!

Na'h... with TIVO coming this year/early next.. I think the balance will start to shift...
Sky 3D? you can keep it, not interested at all and if anyone is, then VM will have an On Demand channel for it anyway soon.

Rang faults. They sent some signal down the line with no change in status. I was then told it was being passed to the 2nd line team and may have to wait up to 24 hours. WIMO is not good enough

They can't make Nagra go any faster... it will be on very soon for you. The premiums go through Luxembourg, so can take a little longer.

Yes, I had them here first thing this morning.
Do a full reboot of your box, including by the mains, then if still no luck, I'd phone Customer Services.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
a bit OT to this thread but while Tivo will be a good leap forward for VM without the content to go on it VM will always be lacking to Sky. Without all the Sky Sports packages in HD people will always want to go to Sky rather than to VM.
Take the HBO deal Sky have just signed. VM have had that on their VoD service for ages but that never really got any publicity at all, now VM sign a deal and it's mentioned all over the place.

He did state it maybe a actual channel number change during Aug - CC Extra moving to 185 ??? again it could also be a misprint.
Also got to ask were is Comedy Central SD channel.
133 ● Comedy Central HD
134 ● Comedy Central +1
185 ● Comedy Central Extra
Already emailed VM and will await there reply. |
It would seem odd not to have the SD variant of the channel so I would say misprint.
However do you think it may be a hint?

Luxembourg I thought they were netural in the VM vs Sky vs BT war.
