    Foreign channels on Virgin cable?

    Hi,

    I've had a dreambox for years now and have recently set one up at another house. A Chinese friend lives there and she's wondering if it's possible to get the Asian channels such as Phoenix/PCNE?

    Virgin Media Digital TV: Additional channels: Asian channels

    Thanks in advance,
    Binny

      This area was Telewest before Virgin took over.. does that mean I can't get it?

      Cheers.

        Sometimes a slow gradual approach does more good than a large gesture.

                We get phoenix cne plus another ten asian stations in the Leeds area. The box super I have only gives the London news though. It must have the wrong area code in.
