I discovered today a new feature on VM via DS.

If you are watching a channel in SD, press the blue button and it will take you to the HD version of that channel if they provide an HD alternative.

That's pretty cool, I think!

Sounds like a handy feature, Ben. Would that be a part of the update that will reinstate the old recordings fast-forward from the current bug that gives us warp-speed fast-forward? Any time-scale on this?

I have the update and checked against a recording from yesterday. A HD programme should playback at around 2x speed when FF is pressed the 1st time.

Which box for you have? TiVo or V6

Just to point out that we've had this discussion already about the fix coming:

Media Boy Sources told us that feature was testing over three months ago. Thanks for confirm as to why our TiVo boxes was getting updated for over 25 mins at about 1.50am to 2.15am on Wednesday night.

We do not watch Live TV that much.

If this blue button for HD is area rolled out how come my girlfriend has an old Tivo and lives around the corner has this, and I have a V6 and yet, don't have it. Is it also machine specific.

It won't be much of a good swap out in around six weeks when you don't have Premier Sports for free anymore, though.

A couple of changes to the above

Gold will remain on 124 but will become Gold HD if you don't have HD you'll need to watch Gold+1

Dave will remain on 127 but will become Dave HD if you don't have HD you'll need to watch Dave Ja Vu

Pretty sure the TiVo and the V HD / V+ HD boxes will down scale the HD channels HD to SD via Scart so you shouldn't need to use the +1 channels.

There should be no active SD only boxes left now (or if there are they're going off very soon)

Our Cisco VHD box outputs SD on the SCART from HD channels. Handy as it feeds the DVD/HDD recorder and the RF modulator.

That scart extra output is indeed a very beautiful and versatile thing ! The V6 isn't as friendly in that respect.

Sounds like it just moved channels, as some have said 739 is HD.

Good, that's cleared that up, I wondered what on Earth was going on!

Virgin Media's website says that there should be 2 versions, ZooMoo and ZooMoo HD.

Technically it doesn't actually matter.

All boxes are now HD compatible, so those with SD outputs can downgrade HD to SD, so as long there isn't a need for a SD / HD split within the TV packs (e.g. Dave), Virgin Media only need to carry an HD version.

So they could do the same for channels like Paramount Network then.

As they're both in Player there is no technical reason stopping that being the case. Whether there are other reasons is another matter.

Some prefer to record in SD to save disc space.

Or rather, I can take a self satisfied look at the old repeated material on there and reassure myself that I was right all along and haven't missed anything worth watching. :D

Then it will dawn on me how much money I'm wasting paying out for all this second rate stuff. :shocked:

He most certainly doesn't, but I enjoy reading his perverse point of view, which always tends to be the direct opposite of mine. Still, he is very entertaining with it!

Not all of it. So far only Gold, W Alibi, Dave, Drama and Really have been added back into Catch Up. Yesterday, Good Food, Eden and Home are missing.

The red button UKTV Play app hasn't been put back on the channels.

Gold and Dave are the only UKTV channels put back into Box Sets so far.

Much quicker to delete all the UKTV content than to put it back!

VM have removed the logos for various channels from the TV Guide on the box and the TV Control app:

Paramount Network
Paramount Network HD
Lifetime
Lifetime +1
Quest HD
Love Nature HD
Premier Sports HD

A lot of these logos didn't fully match the channel name; lack of HD in logo for most of them. The Lifetime logos were ridiculously small and almost unreadable. Maybe this is why they've gone, perhaps VM realised they weren't very clear, hopefully they will be back with better versions.

At first I thought it was my box acting odd, but glad it's not just me then

ZooMoo HD logo also now removed (the version without the HD bit) so looks like they are in the process of removing all the incorrect versions and hopefully replacing them soon.

The tiny Lifetime HD logo is still there, but will likely get replaced when they put Lifetime and Lifetime HD back.

A bit of legacy/historical news: Although this won't change the operations of Virgin as it now functions as a single national cable TV company, but it does have some historical value. I've noticed that Virgin Media has been dissolving some of the cable companies it has taken over, including my ex-local cable company (Cable Midlands/Telewest) which will cease to be a legal entity from tomorrow (28th August).

My former one still seems to be around too CableTel Surrey and Hampshire which NTL purchased and not even dissolved but looking at the address Virgin Media operates out of that HQ (I think)https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/02740651

I agree, but maybe the strategy is now to procure UHD content for channel 999. I find it curious that the programmes currently showing on that channel are not available also on demand, but maybe that will change in the New Year.

Maybe the Virgin Exclusives will become Virgin UHD Exclusives on demand?
