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

Just do another movie, cut another album, or whatever it is you do, to replenish the coffers.

What are you famous for BTW? :D

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

l am afraid they want younger film stars and musicians nowadays.

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

Not them kind of films and soundtracks:erm:

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

Yes people who cannot sing and film stars who cannot act.

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

Just out of curiosity, Who here has a SA V+ like me. Is it still in good form or is it slow as hell like mine is?

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

I have a SA V+ and also a TIVO, The SA V+ is still as alow as hell:(

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

My SA box was OK. Sometimes Tivo is a similar speed to my SA box, though setting up series links took a long time on V+ compared to Tivo.

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

yes l would agree with that.

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

I have a S/A V+ and mine is only slow around midnight when the box is updating other then that it is quite responsive.

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

A couple of weeks ago I heard on this forum that replacement V+ boxes are now Samsung only!

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

Yes and in my opinion , these are the quicker boxes.

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

Pass As I have never had the Samsung V+ box, So what do I know of this?

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

Yes l had a Samsung and that was much quicker than the other boxes.

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

It was mooted on other forums that the samsung V+ was unreliable,and the picture upscaling quality on SD was not as good as on the S/A V+,but never having had a samsung V+ not too sure on that.Although the box i heard is a lot quicker.

Just hope my trusty S/A V+ keeps going then.;)

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

Same thought here as well:D

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

I can't fault the Samsung V+ and my picture is pretty good , I got it after my SA V+ kept rebooting , the speed on the sammy is much quicker.

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

oppsss:erm: i see my posting mistake thats what you get for trying to reply too quickly on a break at work.:D

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

:LOL:

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

Not sure whether this will be available on TIVO via an app

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...mminently.html

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

Be lovely if it was.

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

Would be nice if it's cheaper for VM subscribers that Spotify (which I'm a subscriber to).

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

Yes it would be good if Virgin customers got a special deal.

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

I wonder when 3 months became imminent?

Really glad they've got a music service coming. Personally, I'd have pfrefered WE7, Napster or LastFM, but Spotify will be a good start.

If VM don't get special rates, I wonder if it will be the £5 or £10 monthly subscription that is required?

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

Can we have a new thread for coming imminently to Virgin TV
;)

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

it really depends how many customers they want to attract so it would not surprise me if there was a offer of some sorts.

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

Some of the new Onkyo AV amps have now got spotify, but I think the £10 subscription is required (I guess spotify regard AV amps as equivalent to mobile device?). That is a different situation to VM though where customers are already paying VM for services, so who knows what the cost will be?

Free for XL users works for me :D

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

Spotify refer to them as 'Devices', If you want it to work on a 'device' then you need the subscription.

WE7 and Last.fm aren't really comparable with Spotify as they are radio services.

Free would work for me too, would save me £10 a month.

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

Yes that would be lovely if that was the case.

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

Actually WE7 combines the best of spotify/Napster with Last FM.

On WE7, you can play full albums and create playlists and has full library functionality, so behaves like Spotify or Napster.

It also has the ability to act a personalised radio station based on artists, tags or your library. It's also spot on with related artists when using the radio feature. This is why I prefer WE7 over Spotify and Napster and Last FM, though I use all of them.

I've subscribed to napster on the PC since it launched legally in the UK so have lots of playlists and it's good value in that even though it costs £5 PM, you get 5 free track credits, so it's only costing around £1 a month for advert free streaming.

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

Is there anyone else here besides me who is happy to just use their TV as a TV? :confused::D

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

It would be a-lot better if you could have it all in one:)

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

Yes me , but I put the story on as its coming soon to VM and possibly available on the TV (or at least TIVO )

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

No.

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

Hey I have just been thinking since my last post, I do use my TV as a TV. I just use the TIVO box under the TV for all other things:D:D:D:D

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

TV as TV, everything else on a iPod or PC.

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

Same here pal , TV on the TV everything else PC , ipod ,smartphone or ipad.

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

All the operators have been trying for donkeys years to get us to use Digital TV to do other things than watch TV and it simply isn't what punters seem to want.

Give Joe Bloggs a top film or a footie match and he'll be happy as that's what he subscribes for.

Make it easier to find such content and at a time he wants to watch by all means but gimmicks like apps ain't going to sell subs in my opinion. Not a chance.

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

I wonder why, according to an article I read, that the growth area in TV sales is not 3D TVs, but connected TVs?

My sony BR player has got several music/video music services on it as do current Sony TVs

As adding things like music services to tivo doesn't in anyway diminish it's ability to 'just watch TV', why do people have a problem with other connectivity being added to it?

Have I joined the Luddite forum by mistake? :D:D:D

I don't care about that; I want a music service because I'd use it. Presumably others would too.

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

If it has loads of Metal (All genres) on there I would be very happy and banging my head all day long:D:D:D:D

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

Indeed, but I bet the attraction is apps like Love Film to watch ...films! Content, not weather forecasts and rubbish like that.

And I fancy not things like You Tube either that are more available than a can of Coke!. Maybe I worded my post wrong, what I maybe should have said is apps are good so long as they provide somethng worth watching, or more importantly for the likes of VM that we will pay for.

Good and hopefully premium content. Something you cannot get elsewhere. Otherwise I fancy it is really nothing that is very special for any operator to offer.

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

Yep, I'd use the music services. i'm loving the BBC iPlayer radio app on TiVo :)

---------- Post added at 20:42 ---------- Previous post was at 20:39 ----------

YouTube on the tv is really handy. Especially for music videos or movie trailers :)

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

Fully agree i love the music on demand on the XL tv pack but there is a woeful lack of metal only two motorhead tracks for instance and no deep purple at all and i think two iron maiden tracks so its metal i want too,lots of it.:D:D:D

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

According to Cindy Rose, you don't need to worry about that:

http://paidcontent.co.uk/article/419...-tv-explosion/#

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

I know what you mean as there a very limited Metal on there, For one I would love to see more TRIVIUM, BFMV, SEPULTURA, PINK FLOYD, ROLLING STONES, LED ZEP and the list could go on for almost ever:(

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

That's what I mainly use Youtube for, and why I'll be glad when the playlist functionality is working (it's being looked at)

I'm also really liking radio recording on Tivo, especially as you can set up series links for radio shows. Brilliant.

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

Sounds really good. I would love a home DVD service that released films when they become available for rental, not the box office types but the latest ones. We have them already on Sky, VM. BT Vision, Talk Talk let alone Love Film.

However I would point out she was quoted in that interview on 1 December 2010 (over 5 months ago) that '100's of apps' will be available in 12 months so let's hope they get a move on!

Dunno when she was starting her 12 month countdown but given there's way less than 10 apps to date I would have to say it seems fanciful.

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

I haven't got around to trying the radio iplayer yet but I love the way you can select extras on a programme or film and go straight to youtube clips. I decided I would record a film after viewing the youtube trailer and selecting it on other programmes, like a comedy for instance, takes you to peoples favourite clips.

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

This has swayed me to watch a lot of movies that I thought I would never watch after the normal reviews:confused:

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

I suspect as Tivo has only just launched fully, i.e., to new customers as well, then she's still within the time frame she mentioned, but like you, I do hope whats been promised does happen.

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

So do I as I would love apps but only if they provide the best premium content, no point boasting about 100's, I think even the most fervent VM fan would think that is rather big claim and it makes no difference anyway in my opinion, it's all about what they offer not the quantity.

We'll see.

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

Apps on the US TiVo that are beneficial in my eyes are Netflix , Blockbuster OD , Amazon instant video , Hulu Plus so in UK terms Lovefilm , iplayer , 4OD , Five On Demand dare I even say Sky Player would appeal to me. Throw in some music , Internet radio etc and I would be happy.

I'm not to bothered about Facebook , twitter , weather and other similar apps , however I understand some maybe.

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

Can you really see VM adding a Love Film app surely that would be competition for Filmflex there own service.

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

Check out this link; you'll see that isn't a problem;

http://paidcontent.co.uk/article/419...-tv-explosion/#

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

Personally I can't , however I guess time will tell.

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

I have read it before, I remain to be convinced, time will tell.

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

Well, they already have some sort of competition to filmflex in the form of picturebox

Sony have their own [stupidly named] film service and lovefilm on their connected devices

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

Perform talking to Virgin about having an app on the TiVo platform.


Perform was formed through the merger of Premium TV and the Inform Group. Premium TV was originally created and owned by NTL

http://www.performgroup.co.uk/WhatWeDo

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

Now that the NFL Network is available over the web it'd be great to have that as a TiVo app. Especially as, apparently, Sky won't let them launch it as a regular channel on their platform due to some of their content being available for free on nfl.com

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

FilmFlex is jointly owned by Sony and Disney, not VM.

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

Now that would an interesting proposition.:D

---------- Post added at 22:17 ---------- Previous post was at 22:16 ----------

I stand corrected.:D

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

As would Gamepass, ESPN Player and mlb.tv :D

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

oh yes :angel::D

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

May get rather pricey though on top of your XL sub :D

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

I guess if you had that lot you could wave goodbye to Sky sports if your an American sports fan.

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

Possibly , heres some promising news for Baseball fans , it appears MLBTV is available in the UK on Apple TV so I suppose why not TIVO.

http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/

And LG connected TV

http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/lg-bb...0101124935.htm

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

I have got Apple TV:)

Back to the thread is there no serious news about any upcoming channels in the foreseeable future?:(

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

But if you're already subbing to any of those services on your computer it'd be nice to be able to watch on the big screen.

MLB.tv and NFL Network are quite inexpensive compared to some products. Gamepass is a bit pricey though.

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

I doubt it:D

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

Were only slightly off topic , it's possible apps coming to VMTV :D. Not heard any news on new channels yet.

---------- Post added at 22:39 ---------- Previous post was at 22:39 ----------

Yeah very true, they would be welcome additions for most US sports fans I'm sure.

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

Gamepass is $250 or £155 for the season.

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

Game pass $250 , MLBTV premium $199.99 and ESPN3 £90.00 for a College football pass.

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

Are you sure about that.

---------- Post added at 06:06 ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 ----------

With these apps and more in the pipeline watching the tv is changing quicker then people think, apps will be on every tv within 5 to 10 years.

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

And yet I won't ever use any of them.

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

Everybody to their own choice.

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

Well of course :)

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

Without knowing what they are you can not say that, till now the boxes powering interactive TV have been low powered and have struggled to display a decent resolution. There is a lot that can be done with apps for a TV and they haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Just wait till Apple get round to launch Web Apps for Apple TV everyone will be on it then and we will finally see developers making use of a big screen and limited input method.

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

Apps on tv are just in the infant stage at the moment but they will soon multiply.

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

Thanks Media Boy but would be nice if any news of any more channels coming emerged soon.

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

No new Channels launches coming on any soon from any info I have seen.

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

Personally denphone i think vm are concentrating on TiVo at the moment and getting Red Button settled in, apart from sky arts HD i suspect it may be a little while before any new channels,and vm will possibly concentrate more on streaming content just my opinion though.

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

It's like the news desk saying let's go over to the sports desk for the football results when there's no games on! Absolutely pointless:rolleyes:

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

By god we got a live one here.

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

Thankyou;)

If you don,t ask questions you do not get any answers.

---------- Post added at 12:59 ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 ----------

Thats quite alright.

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

You don't really need to make threads to ask those 'questions' when there's a thread dedicated to 'answers' before the question has been asked.

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

Christ you just cannot please some people.

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

Yeah I am pretty sure (but in my opinion though), maybe I wasn't as clear as my earlier posting though which is much clearer than the one you quoted me on.

On my connected TV the apps provide (amongst others) i-player, 5 OD and Love Film. Apps like that are a real bonus in my opinion as it provides content, weather forceasts and banking are pointless to me.

If they provide high quality content then all well and good, if they don't I don't really see a great advantage having them, especially on a premium digital STB which after all is really designed to facilitate the watching of TV, I think some people forget that minor point!

But that's just my opinion.

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

Pretty much agree , tv catchup , film and radio apps are great however what's the point in social media apps what make you leave your show , if it was a sidebar maybe that would appeal to some.

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

Yes l totally agree that if we have apps they should be of a high quality content.

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

I agree they should get the full Apps for the ITV Net Player,4OD,Demand Five, Love Film E.T.C and then they will be a lot better in regards to the OD content

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

Yes l hope so.

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

is there any new apps for tivo due soon?

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

l do not know.

Bet it's about Aliens coming to do us harm as usual. Wonder if the Gov are keeping the friendly ones from us. Come to think of it who needs harmful aliens when we have Bankers and Politicians.

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

As Johnlouis pointed out, I think what Denphone meant to say was "Coming soon ..." and Spiderplant meant to put his rant in all upper-case for increased volume.

However, now that Denfone has made the changes both humanely, to put us out of our misery, and as soon as humanly possible, I find that he has gone too far! He has downgraded almost everything to lower-case whereas some items should be in upper-case (e.g. TV) or mixed case (e.g. TiVo).

Oh well, at least it has been toned down a bit. I was finding it distracting as I was drawn to the loudness of the left-hand column.

You are in a very grumpy mood today perhaps someone needs to put you down humanely.
