It's been on my V6 since it was first aired.

The December line-up is very poor unless you like ballet and opera

Honesty , I really don't care that much . It's just typical of the way that virgin works , half fix's sort it out yourself etc. Customer service is poor but that is more and more the case across the board. and the grass is not usually greener on the other side.

Re: "free" channel 999

I’ve tried rebooting and channel 999 is still locked out on my V6 box ……��

---------- Post added at 14:49 ---------- Previous post was at 14:33 ----------

Just called VM customer service and after 18 minutes told several other people had complained about this. It’s been passed to another dept to look into and the original emails may of had the wrong start date on them ! What a load of old rhubarb ��

Not very good for a FREE period to attract people but no surprise I guess seeing how everything now is rubbish!

Firstly , it was not a e mail it's the strap line ? across the top of my programmes etc so guess as seems to be more and more the norm , customer services have no idea what's happening

Well the actual email I received yesterday had the subject heading of “Our Christmas gift to you” and the start and end date was within the email itself.

Re: "free" channel 999

Glad it's now working, 2 days late, but that's classic VM!

Some good films in UHD over Christmas:

The Danish Girl, Christmas Eve, 9.30pm
Steve Jobs, Christmas Day, 9.30pm
The Adjustment Bureau, Boxing Day, 9.30pm

For some reason, every time I’ve tried watching anything on this channel, the sound very quickly goes out of synch. Not by a second or two, by minutes!

Re: "free" channel 999

I tend to not watch it as the on screen logo is ridiculously large and unnecessary
