Still no mention of when the new BBC i-Player will be on Virgin Media. It was supposed to be starting on Sky today. Does anyone have any news yet?

The new iPlayer is a streaming service and as such won't be on Sky boxes in there current form as they use progressive download , the Sky iPlayer is a bespoke implementation , at the moment the new iPlayer is still in beta and only available to preview on selected devices.

Thanks, MM. Let's hope we get it this year then!

Yes, and that would be a good thing. I'm not too concerned about missing out on an initial exclusivity period, I'm about 8 months behind with all the recordings I've made as it is! If the back catalogue contains the first few series of Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, that will do nicely for me if it's on subscription.

Personally, I think people who believe HBO shows will come to Tivo as a subscription service are deluding themselves; Sky has that tied up.

It could come as Pay per View... but that is available already, though not on Tivo. So that is a possibility to be added to Tivo. But in my view PPV prices are exorbitant.

The only other way to get HBO via Tivo is if VM finally do a deal with Sky to get Sky Atlantic. But that looks dead in the water for the foreseeable future.

It's not part of a multi-channel company, it's a single channel business. The owner is a company called H&C TV Limited, no prizes for what the initials stand for! It is ultimately controlled by its CEO Heather Killen via a trust. (Killen 2004 Trust)
