I ♥ Virgin TV XL package with TV On Demand.

We asked them to give us a tv box when we moved, since Freeview doesnt work here, and we expected them to put us on the freeview package or equivalent, and that would be that.

Somehow they stuck us on TV XL which we've had since the box arrived.
It costs £14 more a month, but its a price worth paying. I have been really loving the video channels to ride my exercise bike to, and the number of +1 channels out there.

ITV2 or ITV4 are usually showing a good movie once pumpkin has gone to bed at night. One and Three occasionally do too, though its usually bloody Eastenders or Casualty. Dave, UKTV Drama, UK Gold, and such show good stuff, and theres a Five US channel as well as FX that are great for imported shows.
Virgin1 shows DS9 at 8 and Enterprise at 9.

I've been watching bits of Bond : The World Is Not Enough tonight on ITV2. Pierce, you sexy thing you.

On Demand has series 2 of NuWho, both series of Life on Mars, Criminal Minds, and all sorts. I can rewind, ffwd, anything I want. Great to pause and leave the room. Resume when i return, its like a VCR which i didnt have to pay for. The Filmflex has 500+ movies on, and I can even elect to watch music videos!

I've been enjoying LOM once again in the evenings, and its lovely. Gene Hunt, I ♥ you, you armed bastard.

(i'd never have virgin's mobiles though - their service isnt as good as Orange's, neither is the coverage.)

That's all :)

Coolness. I just downgraded my own tv package to save on the bills. Buh-bye Discovery, History, SciFi, Comedy Central and Spike! I hardly watched ye *salutes*

Pierce Brosnan is a very sexy thing. More so before he turned 50, but what he's lost in aging looks he more than compensates for in debonair suaveness and that deliciously velvety voice. Rwoar!

We were taken aback when we got the bill yesterday, i will admit, but when we sat down and realised just how much we're enjoying it, we decided to leave it that way for now, and see how the budget swallows it up.

Pierce was SO LOVELY back in his Remy days, so yummy edible even if he did overact massively in that show. He's made up for it in movies and his run as Bond was orgasmic to watch. Now he's even more yummy with age. Mmm.

[livejournal.com profile] bibliophile1887 has a yummy Remy icon or two - i need to gank and credit, yes.

Gene Hunt is a legend. SRSLY. If there's ever been any other character created for TV that's better than him, I'd like to know. (well, The Doctor is pretty awesome, but he's in a league of his own)

Have you read "his" book? Rules of Modern Policing (1973 ed.) I love it lots.

I have to wonder why they've moved the next series from Manchester to London though, and TBH, I'm a little miffed about it.

anyway, big up the love for LoM!
