Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
The old rumour has rumbled again, vm looking to create a tvanywhere app for playstation 4 and xbox one.

It is a surprising situation!

Re: Freesports, Fox News etc.

I wonder if VM could get away with pseudo adding these to the EPG by doing a BBC3? They wouldn't be showing these channels without authorisation, but simply pointing viewers to a publically available internet stream!

I don't think that ITV offer a live internet stream, so if they continue to demand retransmission fees perhaps VM could do a deal with tvPlayer??

Not that I'd want to encourage this as we wouldn't be able to record anything.

Edit: I can't find a live stream for Freesports, so if they don't offer this my idea wouldn't be possible (I've sent them a message to ask them).
ITV have live streams via itv hub on most platforms https://www.itv.com/hub/itv
