Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

A future channel launch?

Joiz website: http://joiz.com/

Interestingly, Joiz went to to court in 2012 and got the Swiss courts to insist that UPC carried its channel. Maybe relationships between Liberty and Joiz have improved since then!

Its ok for new channel launches - but are those idiots who run VM, going to please the subscriber, by placing them on the sytem.

I doubt that very much. At the end of the day, we the subscriber pays for the channels. So why dont VM let us decide.

You will always get a warning when you go into the app that certain functions (i.e. the remote control) are not available until you connect to your home network.

If you want to connect your TiVo to you home network, have a look here - http://help.virginmedia.com/system/s...MER_TYPE=Cable

Ah i just kind of assumed that it was on my home network wirelessly. Seems weird to me that the box does not know it is on my home network if it is not plugged into the router. I have just tried the remote record and it worked. When i first got the app i was getting an error so thought it was due to me not being connected.

Does anybody know if i can set recordings when abroad?

You should be able to set recordings from anywhere you have a data connection.

I just wanted to post to say I just had a very positive experience with VirginMedia customer services, after being a customer since 1997 I was contemplating leaving or cutting back but the very helpful chap on the phone gave me a great price on the package I was on, doubled by BB speed and gave me a code for 6 months free netflix. Can't really say fairer then that.

I'd have to echo that. We've just had to book an engineer visit. The wife phoned - she usually does as the account is in her name - and when she got off the phone she said she always likes their customer service, they're always friendly and helpful.

It's probably just me but I'm confused what this particular rant is about. Is it a request to be able to delete channels from the EPG or a demand that he decides which channels VM may buy, regardless of how much VM will be charged for those channels?
