Agreed
@ozsat i remember @DarrenDev saying that this was technically quite challenging and that they'd prefer to offer those channels via IP. Sadly, there appears to have been no progress since launch.
I'm sure very few people care about the shopping channels. The main ones everyone wants to see are:
Talking Pictures
Great! Movies etc
UKTV (Dave, W etc)
I know commercials can get in the way of a deal, but these guys need to get around the table and agree something. IP delivery is the future and even SD channels look so much better via BT's Internet Mode.
