CBS and Viacom are independent companies so that won't happen. And in case you feel there is any link by virtue of Sumner Redstone, he's 92 now and understandably not actively involved in matters. The UK CBS channels are also majority owned by AMC.

There is a guide for the four channels (Clubland/AKA/Now/Chilled) within the app itself.

Hi Ben I noticed that but it leaves no ability to record unless I'm wrong

Interesting how they've put these new music channels in an app. They've obviously done it because it's cheaper than paying to put them on the EPG. The picture quality isn't bad but it does make flicking between music channels difficult

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yeah i totally agree, what annoys me is these channels are on free to apps like tv player and can access a proper guide. I can be accessed by phones tablets and freeview, I'll stick to that method easier than virgin

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Why can't all the apps work the same. If you press Ch up or down in Worldbox it changes the channel within the app, on Now/Aka app, it just takes you back to the holding page on the EPG.

Just had a quick browse through Vevo, actually looks quite decent :shocked: Well done Virgin


Maybe they should consider a long overdue price rise on the back of this, it's been a while ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes it looks pretty good to me as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

You'll be getting one very soon.
As for well done virgin, why? it's a app that's been around on many devices for ages and the service has been on youtube for years virgin are just late to the party :p:

Crikey that's rather harsh young chap...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

How does it work on VM? Is it an app like the other addition?

What's the selection of music like compared to music on Demand?

Has the VM music on Demand service now closed completely?

Thanks.

This is the view of YouVew:

Even by VM's standards they've poorly implemented this, it just looks very unprofessional.

The EPG position for the AKA/Clubland/Chilled/Now app is actually titled ClubldAKA and has some weird made up logo using the C from Clubland and AKA next to it, so looks ridiculous.

Press Red on channel 300 and it very slowly loads a menu screen with links to the Vevo app and the AKA, Clubland, Chilled and Now Music streams with an image slideshow on the right which loads in chunks like the days of dial up internet, the streams are hardly on demand content anyway.

Vevo app is, like most of VM's other apps, so very slow and clunky, you can't even use the letter buttons on your remote to search.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The speed of apps will be greatly improved on the new vm box which should launch this year.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

But sadly true.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

what info have you got regarding the new vm box,is it just rumors or something more? thanks
