HD for NTL (Virgin)

[Napper]

anyone know when its available ?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Doubt it for a very long time as most of the HD channels are owned by BSkyB.

its available now, only bbc is available though.

Its part of their V+ box

had nothing through post ....they need to get marketing dept sorted. Can see nothhing online. Not sure I want to be on hold for an hour + this arvo

BBC HD only broadcasts programmes for about 2-3 hours a day, unless some sport in HD is on. Although some of the pictures you get whilst watching the preview are pretty amazing.

Id say that was more your fault than Virgins, its very easy (well) to find on their website

If on digital already - no. What way is the reception bad? Breaking up or just crap, compressed picture?

mostly ok but on the e4 channels particularly ids a bit bitty , breaks up a bit

 

[Cian]

if its breaking up in to blocks, green/pink corruption on the video - phone Virgin and say theres a reception issue. This shouldn't happen

If its just like legobricks on fast moving action, thats a problem with over compression. Not gonna be fixed by 1 or even 1000 people bitching.

 

[Napper]

yeah lego bricks i think ,

 

[Chicken Run]

yep i have v+ and it's good
