Channels we don't want or need!
 
Lets all start off the new year with a good old rant and rage and fall out with each other about the channels we don't want, need or feel are totally pointless.
My choices are all the +1's (just get a V+ if yer don't want to miss owt). Too many discovery channels (could be compressed into 4 -5 channels of more quality and less repeats)
Also ban any channel provider who does not use 16:9 transmission (except for old programming)
Please add your views on pointless channels

1st. +1 are still helpful cause if you have 3 programs on at the same time you cant record them.
2nd. There aitn to many discovery channesl apart from maybe shed, al teh rest give a blend of good stuff.
3rd. Channels should nto be force to go widescreen, so if a channel has a small budget they must pay higher for widescreen jsut to statify you? if you dnt liek it dnt watch it

We need more +1 channels not less unless VM bring out a V+ box with more tuners

I'd like to see VM broadcast the whole set of Discovery Channels

Hoping that ITV +1 won't be delayed too long

After seeing the poor ratings that Doctor Who got on BBCHD compared to regular BBC 1 last night (359K to 10.3million) perhaps VM shouldn't bother too much in getting more HD [opens can or worms :)]

I want a channel where the music isn't louder than the narration.

I would like to see ITVHD and other channels that are worth watching, get rid of the +Channels, if they can supply foriegn channels, why can't they supply channels such as STV on Sky you can get any channel within the ITV region, just by moving the signal, such as a great channel called Channel M, and that is for Manchester.

And a bigger hard disc! Sorry :notopic: - unless it's relevant to the "rant and rage"

I like rant topics :D

FX,
Sky 1, 2, 3,
Any shopping channels,
Any Quiz/call-in channels,
Any softcore porn channels (get a **** magazine or use the interweb you fools),
+1 Channels,
Dmax,
Living 1,2 etc,
Virgin1,
Bravo 1+2,
Preview channels.

I'm just glad virgin don't have BET as I hate that more than any other channel.

Edit:- Oh and get rid of the pointless radio channels.

BBC - get rid of all their crap then maybe the TV license also (ripp-off!!)
Grumble! Grumble! lol

Community Channel could also go along with all the sad adult channels! :p

Personally I'd bin virtually all of them as the quality of their content is so dismal. I'd just keep BBC HD, Nat Geo HD, and Film Four (provided it would go HD).

It boggles the mind how people can watch the kind of trash shown on ITV, Living, Sky One (with the obvious exceptions of the odd good US import, but I'd rather have those on BD), Virgin 1, and all those repeat channels.

Bin them and give me more HD and more upload please.
