No disrespect but it shows how bad things are when people are looking forward to a freeview channel being added

God, I mean all those shows on Showcase 2 I mean there's Teleshopping, and Teleshopping 2: Shop Harder and the far less popular sequel A Good Day to Teleshop.
Oh wait no, there's like 2 decent channels in that entire list.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
I know everyone is worked up about BT Sports however don't forget this has been a great year for Virgin so far in terms of adding new channels. I left Virgin in December but have to admit I've been impressed with their additions over the past 8 months.

They also added Ginx which is a 24 hour gaming channel which I absolutely love.

I forgot that one. They also launched a few more foreign subscription channels not in my list too. In total Virgin are up to around 42 new channels on their platform, which works out at roughly a new channel launch every 5 days so far in 2013!

It's currently showing 'Britains Best', which looks more like a historical programme than drama
Interestingly, they have just advertised themselves as being on Sky and Freeview, with no mention of VM.
Still, it isn't contracted to start until 6am, so I'll go to bed before I get into trouble

Would that be by the Chadgorian calendar? Are days longer? Or does the year start on a different date?
Perhaps it is a Chad-fiscal year, where the year starts when money is in your pocket, and ends when it refills?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
That's it Now Arthur has given up that must mean BT Sport is not coming to Virgin I mean he must be in the know as the CEO's office rings him everyday to give a personal update
Personally for me I love my sport especially football but their is no way in this world I would sign up to Sky or BT just because I couldn't get their sports channel as I would have to get BB from Virgin everyone else in my area offers BB at a staggering 0.5mb's

I'm the same. Which, incidentally, means I'd regularly have a speed which would preclude me from streaming Bt Sport, even if I had their broadband. Jat.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Can someone please explain to me why it appears ESPN is back on Virgin as of Saturday two weeks after it closed down ?
I assume it is back from the comments here, and also from the TV Guides which are now showing a single HD channel for it.
I'm not reading anything into it, I am just curious

My next door neighbour has Sky and Sky ADSL+2 24mb BB and he barely gets 0.7mb on a good day and as low as 0.4mb is regularly seen, I spoke with BT on the BT instant chat service and they said that my area wouldn't be able to get BT vision until 2015

Sounds familiar
We actually had 23 new channels by the start of March and 27 by the end. Media Boy's "unlikely rumour" was probably his most accurate post ever.

Do not agree with you that things are bad. Also Drama is a welcome addition to VM imo.
