Agreed, though I suggested similar not long ago and was pretty much told if I don't like particular posts, don't read them

Well at least you are not moaning MB but beware because it can be contagious as it spreads.

The only thing that annoys me is members who quote MB update post in their replies

True, we might run out of internet space if people keep doing that

@Mad Max, jj20x, coulsontom, paultrademark and mhatter67.

Some years back an ex-Cable Forum Team Member updated post one for me every time I did an update.

But I can't do it on my own as I am not an Member of The Cable Forum Team.

Do you want me to launch an new thread every week (Like an thread I know on an other web site)?

I do not work for Virgin Media so all the information on this list is subject to change.

Very soon

The Active Channel to launch on Virgin Media soon.

June

Zee Café is rumoured (via BizAsia) to be rebranded as Zee Classic on #811 sometime this month.
Liberty Global hope to close the transaction of Virgin Media by the end of June.

July

31st ESPN (HD), ESPN America & ESPN Classic will close today.

August

1st BT Sport 1 (HD), BT Sport 2 (HD) & ESPN (HD) may launch on Virgin Media today. (BT Sport are still in talks to launch on Virgin Media.)

How about something like that MB, it cuts the massive wall of text into something very easy to read.

That's pretty much what I suggested, a list of updates to the original list. Although I didn't actually specify a link to the original list, that's what I had in mind. It wouldn't make much sense to omit the link.

A summary of the changes would make that more obvious.

It would be useful if someone could actually edit the original list, I'm not sure that a weekly list is needed.

Hi all

Sorry I've not been on for (how it feels like) ages! Did anyone's Virgin Media services go blank on Wednesday morning. Basically, the whole Virgin network in my area of Ashton-under-Lyne suffered an interference Wednesday morning and my TiVo and broadband were down for two hours that morning. Did anyone else suffer a similar glitch?

This would be rather confusing!

I always put a link to these various threads on both my Internet Explorer and Google Chrome favourite pages. It would be absolute trouble if a fresh thread was put on every week. Sorry, but I am against the decision

! You are better off saving space and keep to putting fresh copies of these threads on every three months.

paultrademark · 24-05-2013, 09:46

Its not that your work is not appreciated, just asking for it to be a bit easier to read.

Currently I just skip it as most of it isn't relevant in current form

nicknewark · 24-05-2013, 10:16

Agreed.

To the point, and relevant.

Some people haven't got time to look through long winded posts.

That's a good idea

You do not like my way posting but that?

I only add the 'Virgin Media's Deals with broadcasters' bit all the time so everyone can view it on my link.

That 'Virgin Media's Deals with broadcasters' bit was added years ago when posters was asking ''Who own 'Channel Z''' all the time.
