So why would they want to boost their offerings?

Don't know how they managed that when there are now several channels both Freeview and Sky provide but VM don't. Plus of course another round of inflation busting price rises this month.

Who was the sponsor of these prestigious awards; it wasn't R Branson was it?

But I bet the higher-ups in VM do, and are rubbing their hands in glee and slapping each other on the back.... instead of looking to improve a service which is falling behind.

Indeed Taf.

They don't seem to have the sense to realise that.

Since LG bought VM, the TV service seems to have ground to a halt.

Me neither Den, a load of people giving each other awards and slapping each other on the back is meaningless.

Branson hardly has anything to do with Virgin Media nowadays.

Its a No from VM to getting Talking Pictures. Might say No renewing my contract..

Mr K · 26-02-2016, 08:41

VM have closed my 'Talking Pictures' thread. It must have become an embarrassment that this and many other Freeview channels are missing from their line up. As mentioned on another thread, I wonder if capacity is an issue ? If so it doesn't say much of the power of cable fibre optic when freeview carry these missing channels. There's loads of rubbish (+1, shopping etc) they could dump. This and Sky Q mean VM are way behind on TV now.

Yes, you're right. I love Challenge+1 as I know all the answers to the quizzes, struggle with Challenge though

There's so much rubbish channels on VM, that I can't believe anyone is interested in. However there a few free view film channels that I believe punters would more than welcome - Moviemix, Movies4men, Talking Pictures.

All forums attempt to censor certain things for one reason or another; hardly a great advertisement for free speech (not that this exists in reality anyway).

In the Radio Times this week, it's pick of the films includes 4 films on Talking Pictures, 3 on Spike, 4 on Moviemix and 1 on Movies4men. None of these will be available to VM customers.

However VM are launching 3 new QVC shopping channels, they'd better be good !

Can I respectfully ask why you still have your services with Virgin Media who seem incapable of matching your requirements?

Because I'm in contract at the moment. Once that's up it'll be goodbye VM and hello Freeview -outside the Sky premiums, they are providing more film channels than VM.

Sorry if I'm mistaken but weren't you also complaining vociferously about the February price increase but didn't take the opportunity to get out of your contract then?
