Yes, let's ban opinion on this thread.

No one has suggested that MB doesn't do a very good job. To the contrary, he does a very great service in providing the information that he does, and we all appreciate what he does very much. That is a given, and not what is being discussed.

E! HD, serious waste of bandwidth, bit like sky getting HD channels just to tick a box. I guess someone watches it occasionally but i can't imagine it was on top of anyones wanted list?

Cue the flaming from 'celebrity' watchers who have it on all day in the background :)

I never watch it, but why should those that do be deprived of the HD version? Sounds like a bit of channel snobbery on your part to me.

The 90% botox faces in high definition might scare the kids.

Channel snobbery? that's a new insult for me :) i need to hang around here more.

I guess my point was i'd imagine VM would please more people if they HD'd a channel with better viewing figures, is what i was trying to say but didn't do it very well, obviously :)

VM can't pick and choose which HD channels they can get, so we welcome any new HD channel they are able to obtain, even if it's one we personally wouldn't watch. I don't watch sports channels, but I'll be really pleased if VM ever get HD versions Sky Sports 3 & 4.

Mrs M has a couple of series links on E! It's not anything I'd watch but it will be used in my house. As, sadly, will Style - any confirmation of that coming in April, MB?

At least this way it won't be more than 3 months out of date at the very worst.

The last thread "Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1" was 202 pages, so your point is hardly relevant, no one is going to read through it all anyway. So surely a better way would just be to have the 'latest update' posted in the initial post no?

Again, no one is picking on him for what he does, the discussion is about how that information he gets is passed on.

Again, no one is picking on him for what he does, the discussion is about how that information he gets is passed on.

Of course, if anyone wants to open their own thread and pass on their own information they can publish it in any format and timeframe they like so if you fancy it give it a go otherwise give MB that same freedom. As always if you don't like what he does, or the way he does it, you don't have read his thread. For my part I'm happy to receive any information he has in any format he likes.
