I think I have a different package to you but I am fairly sure Paramount is
in there.

Hi David,

Do you get Paramount as part of the standard package?

When I go to 132, or 134 it seems to be ads for virgin, and channel four
respectively.

I really can't ring their customer srvices because my blood pressure can't
take the outsource folks.

Sorry if that offends anyone on the list, each and every single time it
comes up I can't see it becomes so uncomfortable.

  Barry,

  to get Audio Description for channels BBC1 and 2, ITV1, channel four and
five, you use channels 851 to 855 respectively.  Other channels will just
broadcast AD when it is available.

  I will try to find a channel list.  I used to have one but it changes
fairly regularly with new channels being added.  If you want any channel
numbers in particular, just ask and I will tell you if I know the answer.

  Sometimes you do have to press okay to accept channel numbers.

  Hi Folks,

  We have had their broadband for a few year and decided, as it was free to
get the set top box.

  Help! <smiles>

  We ran out and grabbed a Scart to Phono plug to have it going through the
amp.

  Is anyone here got virgin tv?

  Can yu give any tips with changing channels? lol

  I know where the numbers are on the controller, where volume and channel
up and down are and standby, and the OK button.

  It sometimes will let me change channels using the numbers and sometimes
not, sometimes I have to hit the channel numbers and after a two second
pause it will go to the channel, sometimes I have to hit OK to accept the
channel change.  However, sometimes it doesn't....

  I've found the Virgin accessability thing on their site but it's a token
statement about colour contrasts and pressing the home button and the OK
button?

  Where is the Home button?

  Getting a bit frustrated and just want to watch telly!  lol

  Our net gem died which is why we went for this.

  I had the engineer turn AD on, but as of yet havent' came across a program
that's audio described.

  Thanks!

  Barry
