Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

We do not know when the new software will launch (Base on past updates it will be area by area)

That launch date is for the new TiVo box (Virgin Media UK are testing it right now).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Will you be able to provide more details on software update when you get it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Everything to do with the new TiVo and an new app is on the DNP list.

Once we can get it removed we will reveal (we have been sitting on info since last July).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That sounds like it's on its way in the summer but until then - enjoy the new enhancements and new apps. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

So is the new software seperate for old TiVo or is that part of new TiVo only

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

July or August its seems for the new box methinks.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

new software is for all TiVo boxes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Can I ask does that mean that with series link plus you can add shows from Netflix that reminds you to new episodes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

No idea what they are on about - Box Sets are on V HD boxes right now on the XL pack.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Is there a way to find out more details of what is coming and how to use the software upgrade, nothing on my discovery bar yet

Thanks that like looks amazing, because I hate when I miss a new online episode on Netflix this will now show in my shows how's cool

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Update from my Virgin Media UK Sources.

The update on TiVo to the new look vod started last night to 50,000 customers.

My Virgin Media UK Sources say tonight that TiVo's going forward will have picture based menus.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It's about bleeding time , that's always been my main gripe with VM I hate the overly convoluted lists for On Demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Dear oh dear; don't people know how to read any more? ;) I used to need pictures when I was too young to read.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Do they know how long it will take for all customers to be updated

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

We was not told.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Ah I thought they were doing all the updates last night. Mine didn't update here in north west

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Nothing on our boxes currently down here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Your "source" was a day early. :)

TiVos in Stafford, Peterborough and part of Liverpool got the new software early this morning.

No other areas are planned to get this particular version. It's an early pilot to test new the VOD features. Once the rest of the features are added, they will be piloted in other regions (assuming the first pilot goes OK)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

No mediaboy said he didn't know when they would all be done. I remember the last big update was done in bits. But it would be nice if somebody gets it they upload a YouTube video to show us, I know I will do if I get mine

---------- Post added at 09:51 ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 ----------

Well even if we don't get it, we assume it is part of the new TiVo automatically

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

A DigitalSpy thread from early yesterday evening contains a useful summary of the new enhancements. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...3#post82103403

Has anyone any screen dumps of the new TiVo Look

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The pilot areas are not getting all of the function on the list from that thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Don't Netflix , Amazon , Sky and many more all use menu and On Demand systems with images ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Indeed they do MM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

What do you think they're missing?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I was just passing on info from my Sources.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Onepass

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That's TiVo's name. It's called SeriesLink+ on VM boxes, and it is there.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Looks good any sign of series link plus difference

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Australian firmware? :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I am in Stafford but my box is constantly on stage 1 update....

I turned it off and waiting for 30 seconds and it went to stage 2 and completed. Not sure why it got stuck.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I was thinking of the menu system (I should have clarified that). Does Sky Q use graphics for the menu system?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well I might be wrong but are most updates always done during the night and stage 1 is just normal connecting

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Ta for the pic

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Having read the info it sounds more like images for browsing On Demand etc.

Sky Q uses images for all On Demand , recordings , top picks etc.

In my opinion browsing On Demand using images is far easier than trawling through lists of content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

All I want is the latest episode of shows to be on demand quicker. I`m currently still waiting for episode 14 of sleepy Hollow and the new drama from sky one about the guy that goes back in time to try and prevent Kennedy being assassinated (I can`t recall what it`s called now).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Both of those are available on my Sky box , try asking VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yeah might just do that although i suspect they`d just fob me off with some silly excuse.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Just recently dropped my TV pack to M, got a bargain NOW TV box on Ebay with a three month pass (which works flawlessly on VM Broadband), has all the FOX and Atlantic stuff. Best move i've made, wiped £40 a month of my Virgin Bill, happy days.

---------- Post added at 15:21 ---------- Previous post was at 15:20 ----------

And i only paid £15.00 for the box and pass, three months viewing, it's been a great saving for me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The show you're looking for is 11.22.63. It's on Fox, have you looked in their on demand?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes looked again this morning and still not listed. no doubt it will show up eventually!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Hopefully it will, but if you can't wait the first episode is being shown again tomorrow night, 9pm.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yeah it's defo on Tommorrow night at 9pm

---------- Post added at 15:45 ---------- Previous post was at 15:40 ----------

It's now on

On demand- tv - on demand for XL, by channel, fox, 11.22.63 series 1 and that is there

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

excellent i`ll watch it when i get home1 and thanks

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Hey glad to help but virgin should brings up quicker

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

At home watching it now. Agree virgin should be quicker

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

If Iplayer or itv hub or sky operated that way it would bad, only 3 years ago if you accessed Iplayer via virgin weekend shows wouldn't come till Monday

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It would be nice for virgin media to give us the info. If it wasn't for this site we would know nothing

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

They will let people know when they are good and ready..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yeah but to be fair if mediaboy and others here didn't share this info then we wouldn't know anything

Like we wouldn't know about new channels until launched

We wouldn't have known about superhub 3 or upcoming TiVo 2

On top of that we wouldn't know anything about series link +

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

One minor point that I hope this update addresses is the way in which the programmes are listed - it wasn't particularly consistent. Sometimes a series would be contained in a folder but sometimes each episode was listed separately which just looked messy.

It would also be good if HD/SD were just one listing and then you could select the one you want before watching - much neater :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It would be even better if we had the ability to create & name folders to suit our own personal preferences.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Sorry, I was referring to VoD content specifically rather than recordings - should have made that more clear :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I'm pretty sure if you create a Wishlist the folder name is the Wishlist name, so there is an element of customisation.

However to specifically create and manage folders on TiVo itself would require a fairly significant rewrite from TiVo I'd expect, so I can't see that happening any time soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

If we could create our own folders, it would certainly be an improvement. I'd like to separate out my recordings into categories eg my dramas, wife's dramas, our dramas, soaps, shows, children's, films.

That would make the task of finding recordings much easier and quicker.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I do think an ability to create folders would be amazing

I've been wondering when the UK Amazon would follow the US Amazon on this one. I watch with interest.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Interesting and like PB i will be watching this with great interest.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I'm going to stock up on any programming that i'll lose before I downgrade as (apart from most of the Sky channels) the recordings will still be accessible afterwards.

Yes, the Wishlist folder name is the Wishlist name. I did my first Wishlist today.

That's what I was thinking.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

What's new you handsome gents? When am I getting the new TiVo update? Why did Virgin media hint at teaming up with Netflix and then never did? Will bt sport remain in xl package next year? Isn't the contract up?

What time shall I leave work?

More questions for you all

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Just leave now Vinny lol

I wouldn't mind just getting up from my desk and leaving myself

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well first of all nobody knows when the update will come, but if you get the new TiVo in summer it will ready. Well there is some sort of parentship and the upcoming TiVo series link + works well with Netflix. With free by sport on XL being one of there big selling points then can't see why they change it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

We do not see any information on deals with Virgin Media and Broadcasters but we think the BT Sport deal will end at the end of the EPL TV deal - At the end of Season 2018/2019.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Surely this will have been agreed when the deal for BT Sport Europe was agreed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That the way we are thinking.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

This particular update won't be going to any more regions (see post 1225). You'll get a different one at some point, but the dates haven't been set yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Patience is a virtue...;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

We are happy to reveal that Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol. 2 will launch in early May - only on Cable Forum.

Lets hope it reveals more then the last one.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Sorry guys, I missed the conversation about Series Link +.
What is it?

Cheers

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

If or when we can reveal all information we have seen on the DO NOT POST orders we will do so.

The two DNP orders are for:

-Information about what will be on the new TiVo Box.
-The name of the new app that Virgin Media are testing.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Series link + is a upcoming feature for TiVo where series links will work with streaming, it's called one pass in us

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Thanks for info.

Can anyone confirmed what channel has been removed?

Here is the list of channels on Worldbox we have:

-Canal 24 Horas (Spain).
-CTC (Russia).
-Euro Channel (France).
-Nessma (Tunisia/North Africa).
-Sic International (Portugal).
-TGCOM24 (Italy).
-TVRI (Romania).
-Ukraine Today (Ukraine).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

One suspects in the summer if l was to hazard a guess.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

You would think they would want to register and generate interest so people don't defect to things like sky

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Generally its wise to keep any future plans under wrap as would you tell your rivals what your plans were going to be regarding the future?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes, they could run some 'coming soon' ads without giving too much away.

As they are still modifying the changes, I can understand why they wouldn't want to say too much at the moment, but it looks like the new Tivo will be with us by July.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

No set date yet but we think end of Summer beginning of Autumn this year.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

I would find it very odd if this channel had been removed for some customers and not others.
