Of course you are entitled to an opinion, as are others including me, just what other channels you want. Once again, you seem to be upset if I disagree with something you say. Should I just agree with you and not have my own opinion, or ask questions? You seem to want the right to speak your mind, but seemingly you want to stop me from speaking mine.
Speaking of questions, you have completely ignored the question that was originally raised about which channels you think VM should be getting, other than Sky Atlantic (allegedly cost prohibitive), Premier Sports (want to be free on the platform) or the missing HD variants (tied up with exclusive deals) Please answer this question.
There are thousands of people who will agree with you, equally millions of other VM users will disagree with your points about the lesser watched channels, especially when they raise revenue for VM.
As I stated before, I don't come on here to have spats with adults. I welcome your reply, but I will not respond.

This was on a non Sky channel though, as all but the premium Sky channels had been removed at that time.

True, I would imagine that Sky do make a profit on this arrangement though.
I have received a telephone message to say that the two minor channels "launched" in the early hours of Wednesday morning, but were quickly removed as they were only testing and affected channels100 and 999 which disappeared from the EPG.
I'd bet that (my hunch only) that they were WRN and RTE. Despite the unification of the EPG for some time now, these channels have been allowed to continue in ex Telewest areas only.
I would think that if they were not going to be added to ex NTL areas at some point, they would have been dumped by now as they are the only remaining anomolies.

Re: The recent influx of new channels.
Been told today that that's it for the time being for the addition of any major channels that are currently broadcasting at the moment. We are unlikely to see any more in the immediate future.
ie we may still get new channels like BT Sports and some other minor channels may appear.

Well they have got 2 months and a bit to replace the ESPN bouquet of channels and lets hope the wait is worth it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
I have mentioned many times about what channels we should have on the VM, and yes l do complain about these +1 channels, which to me are a waste of time when you think we have TiVo which can receord many channels.
What l would like to see on the network is True Movie2, which is on most of the other cable networks.

Universal HD and More4 HD would be very nice additions.
Lack of More4 HD makes no sense whatsoever.
