Maybe something to do with that deal with Sky last week (The ads one) but I saw an ad for Viceland today on Sky on Demand for Sky Sports.

It was an ad for an show with Sky channel number and "NOW TV" on it that the end.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

yeah it's on nowtv apparantly bt are getting it soon too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

All down to a change in the way Euronews operates. It used to have a single video stream linked to multiple audio soundtracks. Now it has completely separate services for each language market.

I posted early in May that VM UK had dropped the additional language streams on Euronews. It appears that VM Ireland just had a more convoluted way of making extra soundtracks available.

Viceland on demand content is available on Now TV, but not the broadcast stream.

Temporary BBC Red Button services: HD and 2-6 have now been added to the EPG on channels 990 and 992 to 996 respectively.

Interesting. I had a pet theory that UHD on Virgin Media might be confined to on demand services due to the amount of bandwidth needed.

If this rumour is true, that theory is blown right out of the water!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

On all pay platforms do you seriously expect the Murdoch's to launch a UHD channel on BT ?

I'll take that with a very big pinch of salt although do appreciate the rumour.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Who knows mate BT do have a UHD bargaining chip though with bt sports uhd but liker you i've took the info with a large pinch of salt as i was thinking the exact same i can't see murdoch allowing it's rival Nat geo uhd.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

No, I think this could be happening. Nothing like a quid pro quo where Sky is concerned.

Anyway, does National Geographic need Sky's permission to do a deal with BT?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I don't see Sky or BT giving way anytime soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

exactly

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Not sure i think Nat geo is owned by FOX, which is a Murdoch company i think.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Ah, yes, theone, it is owned by the ol' Murdochs!
