Re: EPG Reminders
I'm pretty sure the old ntl EPG used to be able to do this, but when VM took over they decided to use TW's software as a starting point instead. I suppose that would suggest it could be implemented again should they wish to.

Why would you want to set reminders for programmes at the same time?
Am I missing something here?

Digital Fanatic I thought I explained that in my posts but clearly not enough so here goes
There are 5 programmes at 9.00pm that I might like to watch when I set my planned viewing but I cannot make my mind up which one to watch at that time'
At 9.00 all the reminders start cycling through (like on the Skybox) I can then choose which to watch and which to record if I want to in real time without having to go through the epg.I believe its an excellent way for me to manage my viewing and something you have never tried before however I am sure you would find it convenient but you can't as The Virgin epg will not allow. Hope this clears it up
