An early present from Santa in the form of ITVBe +1 and ITVBe HD. It looks like the children have been very naughty this year and are being punished.

I think you're missing the point. Unlike the days of just a few channels, in a multi-channel age not every channel appeals to everyone. For example, as we read earlier, Arthurgray50 is a great fan of the female-oriented film channel TrueMovies2. I wouldn't go near this channel even if I could receive it. But I'm sure there are channels that attract me like the Horror Channel which he probably can't stand. It's not to say one channel is any better than the other, they just appeal to different people.

why are they doing this?? its not like i'm browsing through the tv schedule and see sky sports darts and go "ooo me likes darts i'll watch it now" if i liked darts i'd purposely look for it, the name of the channel doesnt impact that. idiot sky executive who's decided this is a "rad idea" and will "increase our customer reach lol"

and they're on like 80k and i'm a failure in life. its not fair

Then why didn't they choose a much more diverse range of shows to give as examples? Especially when using the phrase, "Mouth watering array of goodies".

Personally I've never heard of any of those shows. And, judging by their titles, I'm not fussed that I haven't.

Seems like VM need to get a PR guy with a more diverse taste. Or, going by that list, just someone over the age of twelve

You may not like those channels but a lot of others do, so it will be great having the option of watching via catch up.

Agree entirely. I for one welcome them,especially Alibi,Watch and Gold. People come on here moaning that Virgin are doing nothing for us but when they do some people still find a reason to moan!

I think you're mistaking MadMax's post for the real press release; "mouth-watering arrray of goodies" is a fine use of the English language but it's not VM's!

The press release up on VM's website also includes some better-known shows "Adding to Virgin Media’s immense library of Box Sets, entire series of Crackanory, Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish, Choccywoccydoodah: Starstruck and David Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities will join the line-up for customers to watch at their convenience.

With new series and UK premieres of Monty Python’s Best Bits (Gold) and I Survived Evil (Really) just starting, Virgin Media customers will also be able to catch-up within seven days if they miss an episode."
http://about.virginmedia.com/press-r...e-on-virgin-tv

But my main point is there regardless - not every channel is for every viewer and that's the whole point of having so many channels. And I for one have never heard of Choccywoccydoodah!

My moan is not with the content but why it took so long to arrive when other providers already had it.

I have to agree. The press release makes it sound like some must have on demand service. All very well but, if it is such a valuable addition, why has it taken so long to add it?
