MTV Classic removed the Virgin tv channel list

It was a mistake

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

I believe that was just for Tivo?? I seem to remember reading that agreement had now been reached for the other boxes, but I could be wrong.

I would expect it will be changed as part of the TiVo update

Network capacity upgrades, also replacing older equipment in you local cab to improve network integrity.

The card is a postcard, telling you about the loss of service while work is carried out in your street cab.

It was just another petty thing that $ky made Virgin do. I believe it had something to do with the Virgin logo and $ky channels being on screen at the same time, or something like that. Stupid, when you see that the V+ box shows all $ky channels on its video window.

Does Network capacity upgrades mean more channels. Could this have something do with virgin media target of 80 HD channels in just over 2 years. I never got a postcard.

It is separate from the broadcast connectivity that we have where effectively we are providing 300 standard definition channels, 30 HD channels at the moment, but with a path to grow to 80 HD channels over the next two years, or three years.

They are spending thousands and thousands of pounds upgrading the tv system so we will get a lot more HD channels.

It's even more stupid than that when you consider hitting the INFO button on a TiVo while $$$ky is in fullscreen produces a VM logo on the left which is almost as big as the one on the EPG.

Probably because thats the way it is on TiVo - so it's a straight swap out for the TiVo logo in places

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

whilst it is nice to see new channels i am disappointed we have not aleast seen universal hd come over.Its clear that we aint gonna see sky atlantic for the forseable future and i think that would have least pleased some people,Out of the uktv hd channels launching personally the only one worth a look is alibi and we aint seeing that till next year.Its clear we only got these due to the sale and it was part of the deal to sell(so in other words got on the cheap)that is concerning because after all these months of promises of new channels and the talks that vm have supposed to been having with channel providers have amounted to nothing.Is anyone else not concerned by this?

P.S this aint a moan more of a concern !!!!!!!!!

Ugh, that picture is a typography nightmare. Between the engadget watermark, the sports program text and the TiVo info which uses a similar font it's a complete headache.

P.S. Why don't we have that Info view mode on VM TiVo?
