    Changing channels and the (non) responsiveness of the remote is what drives me crazy whenever I'm at my mum's house, who has it. Told her she NEEDS to get Sky.

    How bad is it mate!!!!!!!!!! First is you have all the power turned off, you come in and it takes a good ten minutes for the whole thing to come on, happened for the Mitchell Katsidis fight was out rushed home was sat there like a cunt waiting for the fucking thing to respond was fuming missed the first two rounds, don't get me started with the shitty remote takes another ten minutes just to flick channels.

    had mine for a few months now and to be honest i can't see what all the fuss is about HD

    i got it for the pause record feature... love it but i would say skys box is prob better.

    i don't suffer from the slow turn on as i never turn the fucker off just put it on standby

    love the on demand though and the 50meg broadband.... my kids couldn't live without it 10 megs on wireless rocks and they rule their steam accounts

    To be fair to Virgin their internet is probably the best on the market and the on demand stuff is good - especially the music. Once your choice actually loads up.

    I got virgin cable tv, telephone and internet so as a bundle it is 3 for £30 a month just calls on top so it works out significantly cheaper than Sky who once they know I am with Vigin know they cannot compete.

    The Virgin technology is shite put for that price it is worth the hassle, I just turn it off from the plug if it messes up.

    Also now can record the boxing late at night on channel 5 and watch it at a sensible hour. Eurosport HD channel show more boxing too.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
