At last, the rumoured V:MX Retro channel has launched! Seems to be mostly stuff that was already available on V:MX Search, plus a few more songs I haven't noticed on there before. It's about time they did this - when the V:MX website launched I suggested this on their forums, and hey presto we have it!

Really with V:MX, MTV channels become redundant apart from some of their non-music programming. After having V:MX for so long I hate watching music videos covered in on-screen crap and interrupted by adverts that seem to be twice as loud as the music.
So you watch MTV for its non-music content? I supposed if you are not interested in Music then its not worth getting VMX.
VMX is useless to me. I Dj and produce drum and bass and breakbeat music for a living. I guess you could say I'm an 'underground musician', and from what I've seen of VMX and all the on demand music channels its a very rnb/mainstream thing.
So yeah, theres nothing for me on there! Watching music videos on demand seems weird, I like it when I don't know what video is going to be on next.
Still might not be underground enough for you - but then to be honest, I cant believe MTV is for someone like yourself.
I'd like to see the other MTV channels on there too, especially since they are on cable!! Though only about 20% of MTV Dances music videos are actually dance, and they are usually thru the night or on DFC.
You can just watch one of the themed channels, or get it to play a random selections - that way you don't know what's coming next.

I'd agree that V:MX is very mainstream, though fortunately it's easy to skip the R'n'B. And of course V:MX Dance is really just mainstream, chart type dance.
HC being installed on Friday, with the music pack so looking forward to my video IPOD-TV!
