Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Question for Media Boy mainly unless anyone else can also answer it. I have noticed you put a list on here about what changes to look out for when your area has switched to NGTV. Ive seen what to look out for if you are in a extelewest or exntl area. But what about if you are in the excable&wireless headend area of Bromley what should we look out for regarding the NGTV switch over.

You'll be classed as exNTL (before VM)

Yes, looks that way gadge... but everyone will get ITV1 HD as you say.

I suppose there is no point in upgrading a headend that is going to be switched off in a few weeks time.. it would be a waste of money.

Ok thanks i guessed as much. But it can get a bit confusing when you see the three main headends mentioned , with exntl , extelewest and excable&wireless written next to them.

---------- Post added at 18:06 ---------- Previous post was at 18:04 ----------

Does anyone have any idea when Norwich will go NGTV.

i presume that you you will get ITV HD regardless of NGTV or not then after NGTV is rolled out in your area you will get the rest of the HD channels.

No, I am on the Oldham headend, but they have done various headends in Manchester this week so hopefully they will finish Manchester off next week and we will get our NGTV in time for the HD channels (they better do or else...)

I'm sure Oldham is fed by Baguley though....



EDIT: just checked and it isn't.
