Any word on the Disney streaming coming to VM? It could be a big one to pull people in.

I would certainly expect Virgin to get it. It isn't being launched until next year in the UK and Virgin do have a track record in not publicising new services until close to or at the time of the launch date.

Expect the next service to launch to be Britbox.

Cartoonito will probably have a HD version soon, considering it is performing quite well (it has the same audience share as Nickelodeon).

Oops you was right we was working fast on Sunday to put up the post we miss read TV Channel Lists. They do not post launch dates in the UK way. it 2019/10/15.

Now we have Netflix and Prime Video through V6, I want Virgin to get BritBox, Disney+ and HBO Max through the new box.

You can sign up for a free trial now (I did) and test the service out while it's in beta testing and the full service goes live next month.

But not on Virgin....

It needs beefing up though - it currently looks a mix of BBC iPlayer and UKTV Play. Very little else.

Compare to the US version of Britbox - now that is worth £6pm.

HBO MAX isn't coming to uk and Disney+ is a long way off.

Disney+ UK is scheduled to launch next March. HBO Max might be around 2022/23 depending on the contract with Sky.

Max is largely based on WarnerMedia’s comprehensive library of films, series, cartoons, originals and anime; the HBO brand is merely a marketing tool.

Absolutely regarding HBO look at HBO Nordic for example lots of content on there that isn't HBO.
