I've had a bottle of Red Wine in 1 sitting a few times before and each time it was certainly not fun the morning afterwards. Sounds like a good going by Vince's success

Are these extra advertising regions or duplicates of the existing Channel 4 HD which I think is the London ad region?

I thought they might be extra advertising regions, but don't quote me on that, look at my history when i assumed we were getting Amazon Prime and it was only an advert

There seems to be more than 2 channels on one of the pictures sans nom. Does this indicate there are more than Now 90s and Total Country on the way?

Our TiVo boxes has confirmed that Virgin Media has moved NINE channels on that list over to MPEG4 since sometime on Monday.
Total Country has still to launch. Now Music was NOW 80s. But Sky Two has also moved.
Has Virgin Media sign an new deal with Sky?
We have found that WWE Fastlane is only broadcast on TiVo or V6 boxes this weekend.
And is not broadcasting on V+ HD Boxes.

I've not heard anything about the new carriage deal between Sky and Virgin Media. I shouldn't think we'll hear anything much before May this year.

Previously deals have been signed in other months as well, so there’s no reason to think that Sky/Virgin must wait on an arbitrary expiration date before extending carriage arrangements.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
Exactly as carriage arrangements can be extended at any time if both parties are of the same thinking..

I think he simply asked the question, Vince. I've seen nothing to convince me that an announcement is imminent, and as I said earlier, I doubt we will hear anything much before May.

My apologies, Vince. Even though it’s screwed up my phone as well, my iPad seems to be dealing with it well.
