VM have massive advantages when it comes to On Demand content , for one its compatible with all their STB's , it doesn't affect your BB speed and starts playing instantly that said I believe Sky have done an excellent job with their implementation of pull VOD and their content range is getting better and better with many changes to come and that's all thanks to VM putting pressure on them with their comprehensive On Demand offering.
To quote a response you gave to a previous post I made on another thread;

"Think it was a hint of sarcasm m8 LOL :-)"

I thought the line about the BBC, ITV...etc might have given it away


ps.. have you actually seen the advert they're showing?

Most adverts tend to suggest like your being offered something groundbreaking when in fact the products available all over the show

I was thinking that too, unless they have plans to build up the XL package, this could lead to many customers downgrading packages.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

I wonder if the news that HMV has gone into administration will affect the Universal channel (i'm not sure if they are owned by the same company)

If so, we've only just got the +1 variant!

It will have no affect, Universal didn't own HMV they just had an agreement to pay the rent on some of their stores.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

I just wish VM would be more proactive and tell customers about changes, Yes they've updated the website to show for example that FX is now Fox and Syfy is now in M+ but I know that if I phone Grim Jr she'll not know that her M+ package has changed because she doesn't read this thread or pick through the VM website.

Cheers

Grim

At least there is going to be 2 more HD channels for VM. That is good news
