What's the betting they mess up the audio ?
Looking forward to this. As nialli says, films are usually pretty good on BBCHD.
I just hope they sort out the stuttering sound problem from last night
I realised I wasn't getting 5.1, I was tempted to fish out the SD-DVD and watch that instead. I feel like I only experienced half a film
I'm fuming that the beeb arent'y showing Temple of Doom in HD next week. They best be showing Last Crusade in HD
If you have V+ connected by HDMI to a non 5.1 screen you need to select HDMI Audio Override ON in the audio settings to get 5.1 via the optical or atleast i did anyway since i dont have a HDMI amp i couldnt comment if its possible over HDMI
It's so stupid that there's no Temple Of Doom in HD this weekend, apparently the Radio Big weekend is just THAT important? But according to the Virgin Media HD blog Last Crusade should be in HD the next weekend!
Does anyone know where the guy thats writes the VMHD blog would get his schedule info from? The latest info I can get from the BBC website is for next Friday.

Thanks nialli! I've been a fan of your blog for a while now, got the V+ box installed a week or so after getting my first HDTV and being able to see exactly what HD is available on Virgin Media thanks to your site has been a HUGE help!
No probs. Hope your On Demand service and red button are fully functional, as that's where VM's HD offering is likely to expand in 2008
To (currently) access BBC iPlayer, you need to press the red button whilst on a BBC channel. Takes around a minute to load, but is then pretty smart in its operation. There's talk of them possibly supplying BBC HD programmes via iPlayer.I don't honestly think I've touched the red button since we got the V+ box. When you say functional do you mean just flat out not working or just no access to certain services like news multi screen on BBC news 24?
