Re: +1 channels

i think VM don't have the capacity at the moment to carry on the +1 channels that Sky have.

Re: +1 channels

To be honest there are some channels on Sky that are a complete waste of bandwidth and I'm glad they aren't available on VM.

With V+ being available why do we need +1 channels? I'd prefer to get rid of them all and use the bandwidth for other channels

Even with V+ there are times when it's necessary to record form the +1 channels to avoid clashes. Plus, what about those of us without a V+?

You dont need a HD TV for V+. As there is very little HD content anyway that wouldnt be much of a reason to take V+
