Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I'm a bit 'Hmmmmm' and 'errrrrrr' about the lack of channel choices. One one hand I think I wouldn't mind watching something on Virgin that hasn't got the channel but on the other hand I think 'I mean, how much TV can you actually watch!?!??!!'

The one saving grace is some of the channels that I would watch, I do via my FTA Sat receiver or FreeSat box such as The Vault, The Food Network or the other CBS channels and my daughter likes Scuzz.

Having said that...that's one thing I cannot understand - why are these happily FTA on Sat but a no show on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Maybe it's too expensive for many FTA channels to launch on VM, or perhaps VM prefer to predominantly carry Pay TV channels, perhaps the launch of the exceptionally niche Cinemoi French premium film channel is nod in that direction, I don't know really.

An engineer suggested there are still capacity issues on certain parts of the network too but it's slowly being rectified.

BBC iPlayer App has launched today on VM's TiVo and it has radio "listen again" on it too... very nice, looks like the web version :)

That's good news.

For people who have a TIVO

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

BSkyB's deal with ITV for ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 HD is non-exclusive.

ITV confrim today that Sky deal to carry the HD Channels of ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 is non-exclusive.

But the ITV chief executive, Adam Crozier would not be drawn on any discussions with Virgin Media to offer the HD channels to its cable TV customers.

The fact that he wouldn't be drawn on any discussions could be a good sign.

Let's not run before we can walk and get channels already announced as 'coming soon' months ago onto the network!

Post 43 didn't fill me and others with confidence either.

Yes I know you want Sky Arts HD :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Only because VM said it's coming 7 months ago, I haven't specifically mentioned one other channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I'd like that channel myself. There are some good concerts on there :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Isn't analogue about to be fully turned off in the remaining regions, I suspect that is what they are waiting for, before reaching agreements for new channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I know, they are excellent channels.

Maybe they will surprise us, soon.

And maybe Liverpool will win the Premier League!
