I can’t remember the last time a new series was added in the high definition VOD section or in the more on demand section.

For a company that is allegedly concentrating on supplying VOD rather thatn linear HD channels, you would think that the library would me updated at least weekly.

Virgin will never catch Sky where HD linear channels are concerned, so why not hit them were it hurts and beef up the HDVOD section.

VOD not been working in Aylesbury area since Monday, 151 say techy guys are on the case and should be fixed soon.

Sorry for starting a new thread on the subject, but people probably weren’t expecting to see this in the “no VOD in sight for Loughton” thread.

I can now confirm that the service has started working today and have been informed that it should now be working for all segments of the Waltham Forest Head End feeding the Woodford Green area.

Hats off to VM for several communications to me over the past few days. Apparently, the original plan for the Head End at Woodford Green would not have catered for 50 Mb Broadband and new cables have been laid to link from Waltham Forest, hence the delay.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to skip to part of a programme in minutes on catchup tv, we do not have V+ just the standard box, while watching a programme the other night 10mins from the end it froze and we had to start from scratch, both me and the missus could not be arsed to fast forward 45mins at snails pace to get to where we were so gave up. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Guys,

I think I am being told porkies by Call Centre in Bangalore. Basically I had a self install of VM TV on Thursday. Everything worked except OD. I used to have Cable before, so it was just a case of screwing in the cable already there into the back of the new STB.

I have had a 1059 error ever since for OD. Spoke to CS a few times, who have sent numerous hits to the box, but it still has not worked. On friday they said an engineer had been booked to swap the box on Monday. But later that afternoon I have a message saying the engineer has been cancelled as the IT Dept will fix my problem in 24hours.

Well it is now Sunday so I just called 151, who just dismissed my problem saying that my whole region has an OD problem which should be fixed in 24/48hours. I suspect this is untrue as I would have been told this in the beginning.

So is there an OD problem in Kent (I’m in the Sittingbourne area)?

Okay, weirdest thing.

I got it installed like a week ago, and everything was perfecto until yesterday. Then whenever I select an on demand program to watch, it like meshes with the on demand previews and has a horrid fuzzy noise. Like the previews are trying to play over the on demand. It is so weird.

It is the same for Music and TV, not tried the others.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone had problems with Music, Video and movies on demand not loading.
Been trying to access on demand since tea time today and 1930 still no look.Tried re booting but still the same.
by the way Im in Walsall area here.

Having been given various dates in the past for the arrival of VOD in the Loughton area (all past now) the latest news is no news. CS told me that there is no date given for VOD in this area. I guess they can afford to just write off customers in this area now. With only one linear HD channel it looks like it’s finally time to switch sides.

Anyone else got this? I’m seeing no BBC programmes in iPlayer or Catch Up from Thursday afternoon onwards. Other channels stuff’s there, but no BBC. SE London.

does anybody know if vm are going to put all the series of lost in hi def on vod
