Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Well you could also say it is Sky's fault. as they seem to think the channel is worth more than what everyone else thinks. eg Sky want £24 Million for the cannel but VM and TT think its only worth £18 million so no way would they pay what Sky are looking for.

Imho mate they are all as bad as each other they need their heads banging together.

Yeah you would of thought considering bt own plusnet they'd do the same.
I've seen speculation that they will be giving plusnet fibre customers bt sports for free and are launching plusnet tv before new football season but we shall see lol.

EDIT:
Atm i'm playing with a android emulator on my pc not bluestack i'm trying various on demand players such as 40d,itv,btsport etc. I will post a update in the streaming thread when i've finished as may be useful for some of you guys.

Yes, Plusnet TV "coming soon" is something else! Maybe they'll decide not to adopt YouView afterall and go for the Netgem box as used by EE.

They have been removed from testing - not given "real" channel names.

History HD would be good. Anyone who watches Vikings will definitely benefit from the HD version.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

AH! some delightful channels on there. I see fox news has appeared from nowhere. a channel i have wanted for some years due to the comedy gold you get on it. Id also like spike to launch and mtv classic as my mum liked that channel...

throw history HD in there too and i'd be a happy chap! even though and i constantly say this the history chanel annoys me due to its lack of history

i fear though it'll be CI HD and comedy central +1 or something disappointing!

exciting times.

Interesting that it was updated today, though i've read that sometimes an update on the OFCOM website makes it look like a licence has been updated when it hasn't.

Still not working where I am, Catch Up 4OD says - no progs currently available and On Demand is the same as its always been. Seems like they are going around the regions and we should all have it soon (hopefully).
