    I can't work out if that was sarcasm...

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Given I'm a Virgin customer with a V+ box and XL, on this occasion - no!

    Re: News - Film4 HD to launch exclusively on Virgin Media

    I was going to complain that with it not being on Freeview HD I won't be able to receive it. Then I realised that we haven't switched over in Bristol yet, and that there are no Linux compatible DVB-T2 USB tuners yet anyway...

    Sigh.

    Yeah, but just imagine how much better it would be from a reputable source

    Re: News - Film4 HD to launch exclusively on Virgin Media

    Another Virgin XL customer with a V+ box here, who's also got no probs with Virgin's HD PQ- just their lack of HD content up until now. Because of my utter hatred of Rupert Murdoch I can't get Sky, glad I'm finally getting some decent channels from his one and only competitor.
