I think the default settings are designed to look best in shops but not in people's houses.

The modern sets have what they call a "shop" setting, seems to bring out the best on the bigger screens, especially in large stores.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
BT Sport Europe +1 is now testing on satellite, I wonder if it will appear on VM?
Heard rumours that channels may be able to extend their ad breaks by saving up their 12 mins per hour allowance. I imagine that they will reduce advertising during off peak hours so that they can sell more airtime during the more lucrative peak times.

I was told the main idea of SHOP mode is they always reset back to the defaults to stop people messing up the settings.

Was VM not just doing what Sky had done with its own platform though, and probably at Sky's suggestion too?
