Well l would be a millionaire if l was paid for every time l used it.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

The reply will likely be along the lines of "wait and see".

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

You get even more if you just wait for Media Boy to post his sourced information and you stopped bombarding Neil Berkett's office with emails.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Coming Soon :D:D The CEO office won't reveal anything and rightly so I suppose as its commercially sensitive info.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

True.

This is very very true.

Why can't we all wait and see what come's and when?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

My responce is to post #1389.... not anything to do with quality. ;)

I have just received this back after sending this a fair while ago?

And this was the reply.

The names have been taken out for public safety.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I hope there not talking about UKTV HD channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Any proof.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

To me Sky Atlantic's ratings are pretty much the same in comparison to other non-terrestrial channels, and take on board that Sky Atlantic is available to Sky punters only and not 4 million Virgin customers as well as Freeview the ratings might well show some improvement if they were.

No pay to watch channels are going to show multi-million ratings.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

From your email

Virgin Media has just completed agreements to launch the new HD channels from UKTV

No mention of the two existing ones.

Good find.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Trying not to criticise vm,but they decided to move out of the channel owning and content business.Meaning they have to rely on other companys(ie sky amongst others) to provide them with content and channels,Now there claiming sky atlantic to expensive.What`s there excuse regarding Universal Hd,You start to wonder if they are expecting channels on the cheap.If that`s the case were gonna struggle to see any new channels for the forseable future.

i sent a email to virgin media's Chief Executives Office asking about ITV 2,3,4 HD yesterday
this was the reply i got today

Well I contacted Disney uk and asked about hd, they said virgin was offered both channels in hd but wanted both channels for less, so while xd is open, Disney channel hd is an unofficial exclusive and If virgin want to pay we will get it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Disney HD, Cartoon Network HD, TCM HD, Animal Planet HD, Eden HD, Good Food HD, Dave HD, Watch HD and Alibi HD are only partner channels with Sky they are not exclusive channels.
Page 7 and Page 21 http://corporate.sky.com/documents/p...sentation_1011

Eden HD, Good Food HD, Dave HD, Watch HD and Alibi HD are coming to Virgin media
http://vmhd.blogspot.com/2011/08/vir...annels-as.html

A spokeswoman for the broadcaster said it was always in active discussions with Virgin Media and could look at launching Cartoon Network HD on the Virgin Media platform "further down the line
http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/1084...unch-September

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Out of that lot TCM HD would be the one I hope we get, would be really nice to see some 80s and 90s movies in HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Well it comes back to that vexed question again and that is do Virgin want to pay the carriage fees in which they are quoted in discussions with parties and in most cases the answer to that is a resounding no as we would have had quite a few more channels by now l suspect.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

The problem is were does the money come from for these extra HD channels as VM offer HD for free on XL were Sky charges 10.25 a month giving them more scope to launch new content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

And it comes back to Virgin's HD strategy being very inflexible in its model.

Well they could look to offer a free hd package paid for like m hd free, x hd £2.50 and xl hd £4 and xl hd with sport £11 therefore freeing up revenue to purchase more hd, who agree and disagree

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes something like these type of packages would enable customers to pick and choose what they wanted and if they did not want to pay for it they do not have to and vice versa as well to those who do want more HD channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Vm need to do something soon about adding HD channels or they will lose more TV customers than they did in the last set of results.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I've started a topic here - http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...hd-charge.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

This has been discussed many times before; there must be several threads around.

Many people, myself included, like that VM has free HD and accept fewer channels.

Currently, there is a clear cut choice and if you want max HD channels, Sky is the best option. If you want fewer HD channels but no cost, VM is the best option.

Introducing a pay HD version of VM, will muddy the waters and channels that would eventually be added for free will get added to the pay bit IMHO.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

But losing 36,000 customers in the last quarter suggest to me that their HD TV channel strategy is not working.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

What proof do you have that it was lack of HD that lost those customers?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Whether it was the lack of HD channels or something else the fact remains that they lost 36,000 tv customers so that in itself tell you that their TV strategy regarding HD or SD channels is not working.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes it has been discussed many times before as you have quite rightly stated:)

I for one am the same.

Very very true and if you want more HD go to Sky and stop moaning about the lack of HD on VM. At least we do not have to pay extra for the HD that we get:confused:

Yes also very true and I have to say that you have hit the nail on the head here:)

We are all consumers and we will vote with our feet if we are not happy with the service that we get? (Or fingers in the case of TV channels):erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

...post moved to other thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Q2 is always a poor one for VM. Sure they lost customers, but they make more money now from those they have. I wouldn't draw a conclusion from one quarter's results that a strategy is "failing", just as I wouldn't suggest it was succeeding after a few good months.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

VM said it was down to keeping higher spending customers (basically not fighting when lower spenders want to leave) and students leaving.

Quality not quantity, it's easier to retain the higher spenders and not throwing discounts at the lower ones.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

But if they had more flexibility with their HD offerings they could make even more money thus increasing the monthly ARPU they make from customers DF.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

You have to remember that often the HD (and other) channels are offered to VM in groups/packs, so it isn't as simple as it seems.

ARPU is one factor, EBITDA is another, but profit is the important one - turnover is vanity, profit is sanity......

If they paid more for the HD channels, they would have to charge their customers more, and that would lead to unhappy customers (for instance, you have repeatedly stated you would not be happy with any VM price increases).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

l would not be happy to pay for increases in our phone and broadband packages as they are dear enough but if they added certain extra SD and HD channels l would be willing now to pay a little extra for them thus l believe there should be a little extra flexibility in their TV packages to allow this.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I personally agree with you Den , the current pricing structure leaves little room for adding new pay TV HD channels, in fact there is currently only 13 included in XL the rest are FTA HD channels. Many on here have already said they prefer the HD for free structure currently adopted by VM and I respect their opinions, I guess its a subject that many will have differing views on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I would also have to agree, VM need to offer more choice for those of us who would like more HD content. If they change the packages around as suggested then those that dont want to pay for more HD would not be affectected.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes they would. New HD channels will be added to the pay bit. I'd rather wait longer for HD channels and get them free.

As you are prepared to pay more for HD, why not split your services and get internet/phone from VM and TV from Sky? (I know that not everyone can get Sky.)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Not if they change the packages it would not, they could easily add an extra HD package for those of us who want it.
I am happy with the service from VM, but I am entitled to request extra channels as a paying customer. As they say "if you don't ask you don't get!"

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

People are already paying £7.00 for extra hd,To add on another charge would be suicide for vm.Sky customers are only paying a extra £3.25 for a far more HD Channels and more coming,VM Decided to move out of the channel owing buisness and just aquire channels from providers.I contacted universal tv regarding why we are still awaiting universal hd and was told the channel is available to them,Clearly its another they want on the cheap.Thats sky(atlantic)Disney and now universal,They cant all be lying.VM need to wake up and sort this pronto before more tv customers head for the exit !!!!!!!!!!
And please no one say at least we got tivo(great product) its like having a ferrari with a robin reliant engine at the minute

---------- Post added at 00:56 ---------- Previous post was at 00:55 ----------

[/COLOR]Clearly you will be waiting along time to get hd channels for free !!!!!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

l totally agree but Virgin cannot see that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

OK, badly phrased by me. But HD should be part of the general price structure, as it is now and not a separate charge, .

We've got a fair number of HD channels using the current method. I wouldn't pay an extra 10 pounds per month for the extra HD channels Sky have over VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

But some Virgin customers by their own choice are paying a seperate HD charge for Sports and Movies and are happy to do so another little charge for further HD channels if people want it should be available as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

That's because they're premium channels and Sky impose that charge.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

But people have the choice to purchase it or not to purchase it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

What if the HD and SD channels (the additional ones people want) are sold as a bundle to VM (supplier says to VM "if you want xxxxxxxHD, it must be bundled in with xxxxxxxxSD, at this price") - if only some subscribers took up the chargeable HD option, VM (and the rest of the customers, as they provide the revenue) would be paying for something that a lot of people wouldn't subscribe to (and if they upped the price to balance this, imagine the screams and moans.....).

anynews on sky anytime when thay will be addying sky 1 moves sports and so on mate thanks .

But problems occour when hd content purchase costs are high at the moment. It's not to say in time content prices drop subscriptions can't drop. But is £4 a month a lot to ask for more hd, it can't always remain free

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I'd be interested in this too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
