Must be a mistake.

Series 2 doesn't start airing on FX until tomorrow.
It may not be a mistake, it may just be part of fx's strategy for this show. I understand that shows are often previewed on sky's push vod before they are aired, it's good to see that extended on virgin.

I think it has just come to the end of its run. You need to keep an eye on the countdown number of days or you will miss stuff that you want to see.

Seems to have gone again. Video format was 16x9 in a 4x3 frame whilst it was there which is a shame.

That's excellent news

Would recommend Sleeper Cell, thoroughly enjoyed that show.

Does anyone know if Virgin are planning on adding all of the episodes of Showtime's series "Dexter" on TV Choice... maybe after FX shows the episode?

I watched episode 1 (which is the only one on there at the moment) and really enjoyed it, so it would be nice to know if more episodes will be available on-demand.

Wow thanks for the quick response, looks a hell of a lot, I was really impressed with it when i sampled, the iPlayer in particular.

Disney travel has been added to Catch-up TV on demand in a new sub-category (sorry forgot the name of it)

Also the Music on demand categories have been shuffled.

On Demand previews are down - currently there is a non-stop repeat of 'Filmflex...filmflex offers you 500 films at your fingertips. Filmflex etc etc' and it's quite a bore looking through all the menus.

Yes, annoying big time. I turn the sound off now as it's so irritating.

It would be good to browse the VOD contents and still have the current channel shown...

I would prefer that as well but I guess VM have got to promote the VOD programmes to encourage people to watch them.

However, they really ought to think about what they do about this in the late hours. Hearing that Filmflex promotion over and over again while you are searching to see what's on is so irritating it puts you off altogether.

Anyone know when Season 4 of "Lost" will make it to TVOD? They got rid of Season 3 a few weeks ago now.

Don't know if others have seen this, but BBC iPlayer on Virgin cable is now "stacking" certain series. I've noticed it has all episodes of "Merlin" rather than just last weeks. Anyone else notice this?

There is now a series stacking section on the I player main menu. There is around 8 series in there at the moment.

Virgin Music Playlists are now skippable. So you can watch a playlist but skip a song you dont like at the touch of a button!

Catch Up On Demand is a laugh right now.

Only BBC stuff really on there. The odd Virgin One program, and a couple of C4 and ITV ones.

Where are all the Bravo ones etc??
