In that PM I got from a source it says at the end:

"Not for release on Forums but ok for your Blog / X."

That why I was not allow to post it on Cable Forum.

If I was allow I would post it on the best forum on the web - Cable Forum.

Sounds like a made up ruse to get people to check your blog, mate.

I would LOVE to post all info on Cable Forum, X and my blog.

After all I have been posting here since 2006.

@jfman I don't care about how many people check on my X feed or my blog.

If they was no Cable Forum I would have not been doing this for 17years.

*My Blog is just to give readers more information not posted online.
*X is just to give news out right away.

So my point stands, makes no sense at all.

Why would you be able to post to the world on twatter, but not a Uk forum (which lets face it, is not anywhere near as big).

Just utter nonsense.

Yes, once it's on the web with no paywall, anyone can read it. Doesn't matter if it's Cable Forum, X or another website.

It's pointless giving MB grief about this situation, it is what it is and there is nothing that you, I or MB can do about it. I can't post information on DS either. The situation came about because of poor moderation on another site where posts from disruptive elements where left in place but informative posts were removed. So there is now a blanket ban on posting to open forums. If you need further info feel free to PM me but I can't change their decision.

I'm sure they realise that and don't have a problem with it. They simply won't release information to anyone who will post it on open forums.

Asian Mela channels are on their annual free to view period for Diwali if anyone is interested...

Thanks for the further explanation, but it still seems odd since MB is presumably a third party and not an employee and any other third party can copy and paste the same info over.

I don't work for Virgin Media in anyway.

I even say so on my blog.

But I do redo some posts to make information from my sources easy for joe public to understand.

I mean sometime in raw pm I get - channel 4 is launch a new HD channel - so I need to redo the C and add the capital C and I would also add "set to" before posting online. So you would see - Channel 4 is set to launch a new HD Channel.

Note: As far as I know Channel 4 is NOT launching a new HD Channel anytime soon.

Yes, but if MB ignored an instruction not to post information on a forum, they’d stop giving him information.

It can be a minefield tbf to MB the company i work for will only allow information to be released on certain platforms aka X, IGN etc sometimes we are able to disclose stuff elsewhere it depends what the publishers etc state in the agreements.
Ofcourse once it goes on X there is nothing stopping anyone from posting it onto a forum etc.

Perhaps it would be better to say nothing, than I know something but can't say here.
