Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Fair enough Ben - thanks for the reply. But there are still tracks I'm finding on MoD that aren't on Vevo. So it's not a direct replacement unfortunately.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It's bound to be different. It's disappointing that the older music doesn't seem to be on there.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well quite. It's different, but I don't like the way Vevo is billed as an improvement. Complementary yes, improvement - it could be, with a few tweaks and a bit more content added.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well the dreaded Bike TV has launched early this morning MB.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

What channel did that launch on?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Channel 552

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The Sky Premiums HD closure for the SA V+ HD box isn't this month.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

From November 21st.

Confirmed: Virgin Media UK to axe Sky Movies HD and Sky Sports HD on some boxes

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...o-axe-sky.html

That the only info we have seen.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

What does "confirmed" mean? Does that mean that VM has confirmed it? :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It has been confirmed it will happen.

We seen info in November that it was set to happen this month.

We have not been told any date on when it will happen by our Virgin Media sources.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Watch is to have a radical overhaul, including taking over the EastEnders repeat from BBC3 (the omnibus edition will also return).

Didn't someone earlier say that certain UKTV channels would be beefed up as UKTV 'premium' channels with more going FTA?

I wonder if this news adds any credibility to these claims?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Not that it matters anymore, but it looks like Vevo doesn't have any videos from artists signed to Warner Music labels.
