Nor do I, but given the channels that are on SD only, we're not missing much.
The only programme I tend to watch in SD is the regional news on BBC1 after News at 10, although I did make an exception for the Harley and the Davidson series on the Turbo channel!

Some of our household like several channels that are in SD only so that great statement by you does not stand up to much scrutiny OB.

I meant UC and me, Den, not everyone on this forum.
I know a fair few on this forum enjoy cutting edge stuff like Talking Pictures, but old whippersnappers like me are non conformist stirrers when it comes to digital media and content!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
No surprise Virgin Media are on tonights watchdog. No i'm not having a go at vm on this occasion lol.
Every year though this so called consumer show has the same companies on it aka vm, bt, sky etc i bet most of those who are writing in to watchdog are most likely on wrong package for their household size or haven't set up their router correctly lol.

You know, I think there should be a seperate thread for all these ridiculous name changes on the Sky Cinema channels. After all, they are not new channels, they are just our regular channels with different themes for fixed periods.

Let's face it, these temporary re-brands are just marketing opportunities. The temporary names seem to be repeated in cycles so there's nothing really new about them. I would agree, these changes would be better kept in their own thread.

Agreed but there would probably be little in the "coming soon" thread if we did that! But I still do agree with you on this point.
