It's always been there, but my point stands, the idea is you press the red button not go to the channel on the EPG.
------- ALSO MTV Classic is listing a Virgin EPG number on it's website of 321 http://www.mtv.co.uk/channels/mtv-classic Isn't on the EPG yet so probably set to launch this week! |

It would be pretty easy to encourage customers to switch over if you offered clear incentives and made it impractical to have an out of date receiver.
Cut non TiVo services down to practically nothing so that customers NEED a TiVo as their main receiver. It means more services are available that the customers can be charged for and the money comes back in. |

Good to hear and nice to see the Travel Channel back I remember when it was on 293 before it was dropped before.

Glad to see Travel returning, as well as Food Network, I'm happy now - Food Net. and NHK were the only channels I've missed since ditching Sky,

Another historic moment now. Watching Ch994 and the first HD Red Button broadcast from the BBC - tennis from Queens. And Red Button channels in SD on 992 and 993 have been added today in preparation for Glastonbury and Wimbledon. Good times!

Pity the EPG isn't right. 991 says its Springwatch and 994 says its "Coming Soon". Both have Live: Queens Tennis as next

Technically the HD streams used during the Olympics were the first HD Red Button Broadcasts. |

The Scripps Networks' channels should be available soon:
Food Network - channel 287 Travel Channel - 288 ![]() Quote:
I think Virgin should try to get everyone switched over to Tivo, at least for their main receiver.
It has so many advantages over the basic receivers and having a single standard makes rolling out new services far easier. At the moment, they have viewers with basic receivers, V+ receivers and Tivo. It must be awkward trying to keep everyone happy and everything working. Tivo has a lot of promise that hasn't been entirely fufiled yet. |

I am patiently waiting for Media Boy to rip this off and claim it as an "Exclusive".

BET UK has a revamped schedule from 1st July with a more mainstream line up, losing a lot of the more specialist shows that focus on Caribbean and Gospel music etc. I'm sure they'll be hoping to improve its performance.
They're now promoting the Virgin launch on Facebook... but I think the might have got the wrong month?! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater |
