Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I do use the +1 channels occasionally when recording but I must admit to being very underwhelmed by the quality and content of the channels they are adding.

Body in Balance need your help to get into Virgin Media.
Do you want Body in Balance on Virgin Media?
If so you need to sign an online Petition via their Website.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
so it's come to this, as if the customers wanting more channels wasn't enough, the channels themselves are shouting at virgin media to be added! ...ashame its yoga though but im sure there's loads people that would enjoy it.
...bring back Mr.Motivator (he ROCKS )

They won't add any HD but they keep adding ultra niche junk like this. Great going Virgin.

I'm definitely against this idea, unless they also add one about grass growing
Half-seriously, how do some of these "channels" cover their costs? Content, production, carriage, etc. are not free, so who's paying for them?
