Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
the new numbering would have been good, if they set the new HD channels to start with 511 as SS1, that way people just automatically start using the HD channels. I think this may have been the idea, but the excution was off

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
The offer still confuses me to be honest. I have to pay 150 quid up front which will mean i wont be able to engage in shenanigans paying that much up front. I get sky sports for 10 months but i still need to pay £10 p/m? I'd need to become a nun for one month paying it all.

Bad idea. Have a think about the people who don't subscribe to HD or don't have an HD box...

I thought all boxes were HD as standard??
But obviously depending on your package depends which HD channels you have access to.
Like people have said before, its only the channel numbers, so it doesnt matter if SD or HD channel is positioned first on the EPG. They should push the HD channels first really, we are in 2014 after all.

All boxes installed now are HD-capable, but there are plenty of old SD-only ones still in use.

Ah it was probably my ignorance, sorry. I've been with VM for only 5 years, so the boxes I've had have always been HD enabled.
