Hi all,

Was at a friends of a friends.

Was meddling with her Freeview box but could see Virgin One channel.

My friend claims that its a normal Freeview box and I couldn't see any Virgin logo on the box and they don't have cable in the area.

Are there Freeview boxes that can receive Virgin One?

Thanx

AMO

    Mine does, its a Sagem one I bought a few years ago.

    If you get all the other freeview channels in your area you
    should get Virgin channel aswell. Try a rescan on your box.

    Agreed, it is like most Virgin stuff, a load of carp.
  • yes virgin and sky 3 are fairly new additions I think, from what I've seen they are both pretty weak channels and do no more than advertise themselves as being alternative suppliers, I can't say I've ever watched a whole programme on either of them.
