Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

If Virgin want more money from me for BT having CL football then they can ram it, imo the CL is becoming a bore fest, UEFA need to change the way the tournament is run to bring in more teams, it's the same old, same old every year.

Here an idea for the champions league:

-Have all Europe champions in the League round.
-Move all runners up (Liverpool and Chelsea) into the play off rounds.

Just read about the new Anywhere app update and seen pics of the new Tivo update, on both, the name Virgin Media is a lot less present, only the "infinity" logo appears? Is this a LG moving forward and dropping the name thingy?

Evening all, hope you're all well. Just been reading up on the new Tivo firmware that is being rolled out imminently. I've read that the new apps will be HTML5 and that at some point soon there will be an app store. Anybody got any ideas if the upcoming WWE Network may be one of these apps when it launches in the UK on October 1?

This is a good idea. The reward for 2nd and 3rd should be the same as that for 4th, not 1st. Would make the League Title all important once again and improve the quality of teams in the Champions League proper. I really like this idea.

As already been pointed out we don`t know what`s in the contract between virgin and bt so it`s all speculation as to whether we will be charged more once the champions league games kick off on bt. My opinion is that it will stay as it is _ inclusive in the xl package. I say this because I think it will be in the current contract that any additional channels be included or Virgin will negotiate a new contract early will BT. Virgin see having BT Sport included in the xl package as a selling point so wont want to lose it.

How long do BT need to keep the ESPN branded channel? Surely this will become BT Sports 3 in the near future?

I would imagine it would be a three-year deal with the option to renew if both parties agree. I can't envisage they would have bothered to do the deal for just one year.
