How many other channels also have this show? It seems to be on everywhere.

And if they decide to refuse ... ?

No; it just shows they have an audience, not that they're making money from them. Maybe $ky see a way to make them profitable as part of their set of channels, by cross-selling or something; or maybe they just want to asset-strip the contracts and shut the channels down. Time will tell...

Virgin Media have 6 bills, i would have thought that they get more than 6 bills. I mean I must get about 6 per month, what with council tax, virgin media, electricity.
Though how does a bill equate with debt, and what does 'ino' mean and who is yu ?
is that Johnny Yu from the film last dragon ?
Is he in big debt ?
Does he hold Virgin bills ? Do Virgin bills = Shares ?
If that is true then who is johnny Yu in debt to ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Someone that I know has a "dodgy" box, which I do not agree with seeing I pay £100 to Virgin, but anywho, there have been a few test channels on there, simulcasting the adult stills (SD), this is on the ex-telewest area in Newcastle.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Disney XD already exists in the US and France and targets boys aged 6 to 14, but is also “girl-inclusive”. It will be the first channel of its kind in the UK when it launches in around August.

Actually, much of that content seems to have been relegated to Living2 whereas Living (and +1 and +2) has a balanced mix of comedy, drama. documentary and music news ( http://www.livingtv.co.uk/shows/tv-schedule.php). I primarily watch the drama (e.g. CSI, Criminal Minds etc.) but watch 'Nothing to Declare' and 'Passport Patrol' as 'easy viewing' when I'm doing something else.
I haven't watched the comedy on Living for a while but it's a mix of things I watched as a kid (e.g. Bewitched), things aimed at a teenage audience (e.g. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and the rest are just not my style of comedy. In summary, at certain times of the day, typically evening, it's great and at other times I have better programmes to watch elsewhere.
Overall a  !
Some of the content on Living could benefit from HD but I would prefer to see Discovery, History and Nat. Geo. in HD first. I'm not a sports fan but can see the advantage of HD there too.
I have to admit that I don't have a HD TV or V+ Box yet but may get the latter soon just for the PVR capability. As the UK goes digital I expect more people will take up HD, economic 'climate change' permitting, and I'll probably join them at that stage when more content is available and the choice and cost of HD TVs is more favourable.

In Aylesbury, ex-NTL, ex-CWC, Bromley platform on a standard Pace V Box I have 301 channels (31 streams) down from, most recently, 305 and, at one time, 309 channels (if I recall correctly). I guess less is more as they say.
