Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Isn't there a message centre on Tivo?
I've seen it on screenshots, but they should probably use that to get stuff across.

As for the remainder of the cable boxes, wouldn't it be ideal to put a message centre in the Help & Info section of the software?

They usually just harass you for 2 or 3 channel changes with a 'press blue to close' message.

That is a good idea , I doubt VM will do it, everything with them is cloak and dagger.

I've made a poll for people to vote on the HD channels they most want to see on the Virgin Media platform.

They just used that to inform TiVo customers of the changes to iPlayer (backwards EPG and search).

Ah so they are using it?
I'm still thinking of picking up one. The deal breaker is being able to take the V+ upstairs for no addition fee. Makes the £3 Tivo fee seem nicer

That's the deal I got in early April, nice perk.

Hopefully the deal does not finish in the next couple of weeks.
And your quote made me realise I made a typo and had put "feel" instead of "fee".
Luckily the edit button was still visible

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Liking the tone of some of these posts complaining of the sod all Virgin are adding

Rise up rise up oh downtrodden viewers, this is our time, rise and demand change, get freakin

Give these guys and girls pride in the tv channel changing tool in their hands! For too long it's been lightweight and flaccid. Give us a full length epg with the extra inches of tv channel content in crystal HD clarity we deserve!!

Are you with me?

Anyone?

Hopefully a few people within the TV division will see the poll and think "Oh, I think we should add XYZ since customers are demanding for it".

So therefore, yes I am with you

Media Boy

I think when NTL took over Telewest the bosses of NTL says ''Lets just get new channels when they deal is up.''

Telewest did that for years

Rant over!!!
