Wondered where Dave HD had gone for a moment there.

Right in the middle of nowhere was the answer.

Another devaluation of the XL pack then , wonder if VM have a surprise coming to reinforce the difference between M+ and XL?
This is nothing more than a hunch but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we see VM move to more streamlined packages, rather than the M, M+, L, and XL tiers they currently provide.

At long last, the merger of the NTL and Telewest platforms is complete! Well, I haven't checked my facts there but it's a step closer certainly.

Yes, Regional channels still exist eg. in Grimsby they have a local TV channel broadcasting there and people watching Virgin in the East of England get two versions of ITV, from next year most places in England,
Wales and Scotland/Northern Ireland will get a local TV channel thanks to Jeremy Hunt
