Virgin having problems nationwide with their TV Service at the moment.

BBC1, BBC2, ITV and C4 are okay but anything else hasn't been available for a few hours and they are working on a fix.

That reminds me that I had a text to say that they'd be working on t'Internet in my area today (BN1) and the service might be intermittent. Been fine! Maybe they've been too busy trying to sort out the TV side of things and could still be impacted by internet outage. Thought I'd mention in case anyone else in this area, and your connection goes down.

You were watching something on Virgin and expected it to go all the way?

You have to watch the SD channels and not the HD ones

Just as well tonight's football is on Prime, then.

Outside of 7.30pm - 10.00pm it will give the mrs a chance to clear some of the HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of hours of gubbins she has recorded 'just in case'.

Oh. Missed Homes under the Hammer. Wanted to see if Dion Dublin managed to persuade the bloke not to buy the house because on the 17 other repeats of this episode, he lost money as the foundations needed underpinning.

Potentially fairly obvious but if you have any series links due to record tonight (the missus and I are seeing Henning Wehn at the Dome this evening, and have a couple of series on series link) and you have set it/them to record the HD version, worth going into the programme guide and also setting it to record the SD version. Even if you have it set to record "HD if possible" it won't necessarily know it will be recording a blank HD stream so if you do both, you'll make sure you get the show(s) albeit maybe in lower quality. Or use catch-up.

They have been really poor around BN2 over the last few months.

TV back on here in BN43. Hope it's not just a temporary patch and hope it's soon back on for all

Not Virgin TV but internet, but if anyone got the email today saying prices are going up from March by £8.50 per month, I followed the link and it takes you to a page here:

Called through to that number and there is an automated option (after selecting you want to cancel) to have a £9.00 per month discount applied to your pacakage for 6 months without altering your term or penalty period, literally press 1 to apply it! Took about 2 minutes and didn't even speak to anyone.

My contract will have run out by then and I'll be cancelling anyway but nice to not get caught up in the current round of price hikes! Hope it helps someone else.

Many thanks for this - just done this, and got a discount of £8.50 a month (so the same as the increase). Top work [MENTION=17829]virtual22[/MENTION] :cheers:
