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.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

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

Salem - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2963254/combined
The red road - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2505072/combined
The fosters - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262532/combined very surprised this hasn't been picked up yet.
Last man standing - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1828327/combined
Damien is very good. I'm up to episode 9. If a UK broadcaster gets it, it's worth a watch. Shame it's being cancelled.

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