Where do the BT Sport ESPN channels fit into that list?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think you'll find that BT will want VM to keep the BT SD channels together and the BT HD channels together - and in the following order:
BT Sport 1
BT Sport Europe
BT Sport 2
BT Sport/ESPN

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yeah I think I'd prefer B

On the earlier point, does the vm marketing say 'all the sport' or just 'all the football'?

We are trying to get confirmed info from our sources so far Lifetime HD has an To Be Confrim launch date.

---------- Post added at 11:41 ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 ----------

On June 23 our Sources did say that Virgin Media was hoping to have BT SPORT EUROPE included in XL package but the info was given under an DNP order.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Agree with that Vince, it was two adverts on on page. First one saying "You get ALL the football with Virgin" then further down you got the Big Kahuna Sports Package which does not include Premier Sports.

Think that's where some are getting confused.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Talking about Do Not Post orders we have two of them as of July 17th.

-One is from an Virgin Sources (To be removed within the next 14 months).
-One is an unconfirmed rumour we have seen.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yes, but that information doesn't really mean very much to us, MB.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I really hope the BT HD channels are grouped together I'm lazy with my remote and like to flick between channels with minimum fuss :). I really wish they would group all the HD channels together.

If anyone is interested BT have announced the pricing for their Ultra HD channel. Youview Ultra HD box and all channels plus 250 hours of HD recording (600 SD) and only £15 a month, sounds very good to me. If I upgrade my TV next year to 4K I have to say this would definitely tempt me to move as I imagine Virgin will be the last to get decent 4K content (in particular for Sport). I'm sure Sky will launch 4K soon.

Ironic really that BT are first to launch 4K yet are way behind when it comes to HD content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Aye, that's the nub for me. Being a rugby fan I quite like having the Aviva Premiership included in XL - whether I'd pay extra for it I don't quite know, but it's certainly one of many reasons why XL is worth the extra.

But I can't stand football, and being forced to pay for the greed of the business (it's not a sport.....) is what grates.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

If you get all the football, you'll also get all the sport. I think they trying to market to a more football dominated customer-base.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

correct as football most popular sport in the world

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Is it too controversial to say the "greatest" sport in the world too? :angel::D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

it is greatest too ;) sky and BT and VM know no football lose customers that's why sky and BT pay so much for it and why VM making sure it got it all

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

How do the two TiVo's compare to 600 hours in SD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Interesting that the make a fanfare about the 4K box, mention SD and HD recording hours, but fail to mention 4K recording hours.

Can 4K content only be watched live or are the recording hours low? If you can record 4K, I'm guessing it would be around 60 hours?

I suspect 4K could be live only considering how paranoid content providers are.
