Why is there so little OD and no catch up for ITV HD? Or is that 'coming soon' as well?

Anyone else noticed that ESPN, Tivo or VM keep on changing the goalposts with series record for UFC. First it was just plain old live UFC then it was called Boxing live, now it's called something else like Martial Arts. Next it will be 'tough blokes who can look after themselves'. Please keep in consistant VM.

I've probably missed some good fights because of this.

I don't think you'll find that this is Virgin Media's fault; they are not responsible for the titles and are not responsible for content. The fault here lies with ESPN, but it may be that you can create a wishlist for boxing if this is your thing.

I've noticed this for ITV catch-up. It took until Saturday for some of Monday's programmes to appear there. That's just 48 hours before they were due to disappear from the list. I haven't check in with on-demand, though, so can't comment.

MTV HD coming soon to Virgin or just another mistake on their website?

Virgin are advertising both channels as being included in their HD package.

Yeah i've just looked and noticed that.

I think mtv will be changing on the 23rd april to MTVHD not sure if we will get it or not i know sky have it already.

Or i could be totally wrong.

MTVN HD which VM carry will be rebranded to MTV Live HD , MTV HD is a simulcast of MTV UK and currently isn't carried by VM.

Only posted it here due to some viewers can maybe pick up Channel M on their TV Sets or in other rooms.

At the moment they are alienating 3,500,000 of their paying TV customers simply because they donâ€™t have the most up to date PVR.

Virgin must launch the streams as linear channels for VHD and V+ customers. As a TiVo customer myself, with V+ in my bedroom, I want to be able to access all of the Olympics regardless of what box at home Iâ€™m watching on. I pay my TV license and a high end subscription and expect full coverage, and the ability to record the events on both of my boxes.

Virgin are aligning themselves to the Olympics very neatly with their logo being changed to incorporate the British flag, using Usain Bolt in their ad campaigns and their deal with the London underground to bring free Wi-Fi to passengers during the Olympic period. It would be such a shame for them not to deliver the biggest show on the planet, live from our shores, to all 4,000,000 of their TV customers. In fact it would be a scandal if they didnâ€™t.

I expect a press release from Virgin soon about this.

An interesting read echoing what you say , the Olympics can be a big selling point for pay TV also
