NHK World did not launch on 1st May

UKTV are launching a new Drama channel on Freeview. Is this likely to come to VM?

http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2013/05/uktv...l-on-july-8th/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Lets hope so but well we are still waiting for UKTV on demand stuff which was promised a while back.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

And they'll probably try to cram it on the same transponder as all their other channels by lowering the bitrate still further. Watching UKTVs SD channels is like watching TV with a stocking over your head :mad:

...and no, I haven't tried it...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Unless Virgin Media sign new deal for Drama - UKTV may ask Virgin to remove one or two of the +1 channels or even Blighty will close for Drama to launch on Virgin.

Was not broadcast at 2.30am on April 30th on my V+ Box.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, I remember that. The God channel was an encrypted stand alone channel, but it was free to add it. I never saw the point of this and they did eventually just add it to all packages.

This used to be the same situation with S4C when Sky digital first started.

I wonder if reasons for this were that the old carriage agreements meant that VM and Sky charged the channels per viewer, or (in the case of S4C) that the channels had to initially pay extra to the programme rights holders for each person watching outside the intended area?

I also remember that when the God Channel started expanding into providing more channels on Sky, they had an odd "encryption" method that used a different system to NDS. The channels were watchable, but had no sound until the subs were paid!

The God channel even had their own digi box, where only "traditional family values" type channels could be received, not sure if this is still going though...

---------- Post added at 15:08 ---------- Previous post was at 14:57 ----------

It' been on my V+ since this time. It looks to be showing programmes, by not launching, do you mean it is/was showing a promo loop? :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Thanks for the update Ben, makes it nicer to know ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Here is my own view on that new UKTV Channel coming to Freeview in July.

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...-drama-on.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Why do you think they'll close blighty?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

A) It an only UKTV Channel with no +1 hour channel.
B) Do anyone watch it? - I don't.
C) If UKTV do close Blighty down they will not need to buy an other Channel slot on Sky to broadcast Drama.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Or maybe Drama will just be featured strands from Alibi / Gold / Watch and be a freeview exclusive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

As I said in post 1021 it just my view.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

thanks for the update list mb,noticed no coming soon for universal hd gutted

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Universal HD was remove on Wednesday due to no update since 21/02/13.

I think I need to update the 'Unknown dates' parts as I have seen no updates on 4oD HD and UKTV on Demand in years.

If anyone think more parts of my list need to be work on tell me via this thread or if you do not wants your views to be seen online PM me before Tuesday.

---------- Post added at 12:55 ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 ----------

Three new Channels now added to Virgin on Demand XL package.

Three new channels has been added to Virgin on Demand XL Package this week.

They are:

-ID On Demand
-TCM
-TLC

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

TCM is a good addition. Free movies on demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

No movies - just Hell On Wheels (Season 1 and Season 2).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Thanks MB for another excellent update.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

After last year and this one so far it seems that VM are hell on wheels adding new channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Lets hope there are more to come...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

One suspects in the next few months there will be more to come.:hyper::hyper:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

If I remember someone said that VM would be adding channels nearly all the time till August?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

That would be great - even though I got a email saying the contrary I am still hoping for Universal HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Only The Active Channel has been confirmed by Virgin Media - but still no new launch date (Was set to launch on April 9th).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Excellent on demand additions. If anyone missed Hell On Wheels then please take the opportunity to watch it now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Itv4 will be showing it some time this summer from the begining. Really looking forward to it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Why wait , its available to watch at your leisure On Demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Not on VM its not since they removed all the ITV On Demand content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Cross wires , I was referring to Hell on wheels which is available in TCM on VM On Demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Got a few other series to work through from last year, to be honest it's easier to set up a wishlist and then watch it when I get time in a few months. But I may sneak a peak at the first couple of episodes to see what it's like.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

In August 2011 Neil Berkett said that VM had the same deal to get the UKTV VOD and HD channels as Sky and that they would be rolling these out in the next few months. The missing linear channels and HD channels appeared, but not VOD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I left a message on The Active Channels Facebook page asking when they were launching on VM and this is their reply...

Hi, we are still looking into this. We will keep you posted.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, I know that. My point was based on the UKTV press release which only states that the channel will be available on Freeview. Although the footnotes to the press release then go on to confuse the issue.

---------- Post added at 19:36 ---------- Previous post was at 19:31 ----------

Aha! the next few months... sounds similar to the Universal HD / E! HD rumour. I guess 2 or 3 years could be considered as the next few months, it's a little too vague.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

So essentially, if UK TV drama doesn't launch on Sky and/or Virgin Media, it will be the only such channel in the entire UK TV stable of 10 channels plus HD and plus 1 variants.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I agree he said the first bit. But the second?

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35282035-post834.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

True! But if UKTV perform a massive U-turn, and provide Sky and Virgin with Drama ((and possibly even Drama HD and Drama +1 (if we're lucky)), I feel Sky and VM will be more competitive than ever tolaunch new channels onto their platforms. But that is just me, though:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Which would make sense if the channel shows programmes for which UKTV has FTA rights, which are already available to Sky / VM viewers on Alibi / Watch etc.

---------- Post added at 21:43 ---------- Previous post was at 21:33 ----------

Channels starting as Freeview exclusives usually end up on pay tv at some point.

Maybe UKTV is using the channel to see how popular the format is on freeview. With a view to merging it with another channel at a later date, assuming it is successful and they purchase FTA rights for the rest of the programmes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Apparently, he emailed this to somebody called Gerald who posted extracts on the VM Community Forums.

I'm currently using a new Samsung Galaxy Tablet and can't work out how to paste the link that I copied :blush:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

My brother's name is Gerald...i wonder if it is him :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

So if the deal is the same where is the on demand content?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Found it. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...ht/true#M55531
I've also found this. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...ht/true#M55520

So at 19:28 he quoted clint's post, then 34 minutes later, not only had he sent his own email to Neil Berkett with wording strangely similar to clint's, but Mr B had also replied with a similar, but embellished, reply. :scratch:

You may also care to search this forum for the word "Gerald" ;).
Actually I was disappointed when he was banned. I found him quite entertaining.

Having the rights to do something doesn't mean you have to do it. :shrug:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Strange way of thinking when Sky has increased its on demand quite considerably in the last couple of years.:erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ok, so if you're able to answer I have two questions.

Firstly, was Neil Berkett correct and Virgin Media DO have the rights to UKTV on demand content, or was he mistaken and they do not?

Secondly, if they do, for what reason would they choose not to make it available to their customers?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Bigger than VMs apparently

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Archive content from BBC Worldwide already appears regularly in TVOD. Maybe the deal with UKTV would only cover UKTV's own commissioned programmes, which perhaps Virgin don't see as offering good enough value for money?

I see Sky are now advertising that they have the widest range of on-demand catch-up channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ahh is it channels? I thought I heard biggest content but doubted that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

On catch up it is.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Wouldn't surprise me to see Sky overtake VM on overall content too at some point, VM seem to be resting on their laurels..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Is the UK TV on demand content on Sky + HD the same or very similar to what appears in the BBC section of TV on demand on Virgin? That would make some sense.

Sky's catch up includes their own channels, I believe?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

And PPV movies , Sky Store currently has 1188 movies available today according to the Sky Movies app which is more than double that of Virgin Movies On Demand , at the moment I would say VM has a larger library section with more full box sets than Sky. It's great how competitive the On Demand offerings are now getting especially when you throw in Lovefilm and Netflix as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ok so I do not know if its coming soon - but look out for the
The Following , The Americans & Red Widow, three shows I enjoy ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The Following has just finished its first season on Sky Atlantic , The Americans will be shown on ITV and im not sure about Red Widow.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Red widow is looking like a cancellation in the states I'm afraid

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Welcome back old boy.:welcome:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Oh it's all gone quiet over there....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

... and there, and there, and there!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I don't know the answer to either of those.

But I do wonder if Mr B didn't read the email properly. He's a busy man.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Good news thanks.

Not so good i was stuffed on a Norwich-Cambridge train today overrun By Norwich Fans.:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Isn't a fair bit of what UKTV has been showing over the past year or so actually on BBC On Demand?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, Steve h suggested this as a reason in post #1059. That would certainly make sense, and perhaps if it is the reason then some confirmation would be welcome?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Here's some random content all available on Skys UKTV

Watch - scream extreme , Doctor Who S3 , Primeval , Sanctuary , Dynamo Magician Impossible , My family , The Borrowers

Alibi - New Tricks , Taggart , Zen , Republic of Doyle

Gold - Yes Prime Minister , Rev , Outnumbered

Not exactly my most watched section :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Don't think I would watch any of that lot

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Nothing wrong with New tricks or Taggart but alas we all have different tastes as revealed by your good self earlier this week.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Cheers, MM, that's useful. Ok so it's not exactly the same but, if it was going to cost money to add UK TV od, I could certainly understand why Virgin would choose to save theirs.

In BBC channel in TV for xl is an absolute shed load of Dr Who, 4 series of outnumbered, complete Waking the Dead, Spooks and This Life as well as Porridge amongst other things.

So is that it then? No UK TV on demand because the BBC deal already covers the same sort of ground?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I quite like Republic of Doyle for a bit of comedy drama. It doesn't hit the mark completely, but entertaining enough. I've just re watched the first few episodes on Netflix UK and it seems a little better than I remember after a three year viewing gap.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Very true, It doesn't cater to me but will cater to others with VM

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I would have enjoyed it seeing as they lost to their traitor :) :p:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm Likeing Revolution Which is Airing on Sky 1 at The Moment Its Really Good. Also I Like Arrow, Elementary, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, Revenge and Chicago Fire aswell. Also Keep an Eye out For Hannibal Which Starts on Sky Living This Tuesday 7th May 2013 at 10pm on Sky Living and Bates Motel Which will air on Universal Channel Later This Year in 2013 In The United Kingdom.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Elementary is filling the hole left by House in my, er, house.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Thanks guys always good to talk to you. Over on business - my story ! can`t miss the end of the Pro 12;)

News to me about Red Widow -Sad I really enjoyed it. That and Body of proof up for the chop as well I have been told . My taste is not that of the average joe I guess. Hoping to take Dr Who back with me!! Ok the shows not him!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

'Talks still ongoing' with Virgin and BT as far as I know (As of May 6th).

BT set to reveal more about prices and rumours of maybe even where will BT Sports will broadcast on Friday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

£10 for XL customers

£12 for other TV tiers

That's my prediction

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Lets wait and see

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Well if its £10 for xl customers I will want a reduction on my xl price.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Wasn't ESPN £10 to subscribe to but we got,it free in xl package? So shouldn't it follow as ESPN goes breests up, it is replaced by BT Sports, again for free in xl?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I can't see BT letting VM customers have it "free." They are trying to use their sports channel as a lure for people to take up their tv and broadband packages. There is a link to a BT statement, either put on here yesterday or Saturday!

with the Sky sports and BT football coverage will we still get same with BT, or is it just going to be the EPL and football leagues

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

No way will it be free in XL, at best it will be a reduced price but perhaps not even that.
