It's all small fish when you think BBC paid £180m for the rights to show premier league highlights for 3 years and an undisclosed (but no doubt huge) sum for FA Cup rights which they outbid ITV for.

It's sport and US imports that I think BBC should be cutting back on and focus on things not supplied by the commercial sector and half the license fee while they are at it.

I had an idea that BBC Alba wasn't soley funded by the BBC, I didn't realise that the vast majority of the cost was met by the Scottish Government (in effect, general taxation).

But if they cut back on sport then there is even less free to air sport for people to see and that's not a good thing.

Your numbers are well out of date. For 2012/13 it was actually 7.4p against 6.6p. Admittedly still more expensive but no where near your figures.

wow when did we stop caring about our culture here,

this part of our history and like the welsh language why shouldnt we try and preserve some the oldest langauages in existence. To state that English is the business Language is plain ignorant and this country recognising other languages such as gaelic as OFFICIAL languages. Just to recap Whilst English is a dominant langauage there is plenty of business dozen in Other langauages and in this country ranging from Cantonese to German. The fact these countries folk have learnt english shows either a) deep lover affair with english b) failure of our own to learn a new language. If anything we shoudl be showing interest in these cultures including our own traditions and beliefs because soon they will dissappear. £4 million is a very small price to pay. I think its awful that we are trying to justify losing this so that we can keep free to air football thats like selling children to pay for a PS3 (okay not that extreme). Thankfully BBC are not looking to lose ALBA. Prsonally I would keep BBC3 as well and not giev anymore cash to BBC1 to throw away on such itesm as the Voice but that is my own personal opinion.

Likewise i respect all views here but I am slightly disappointed with the way this discussion was going

p.s. I am neither Welsh nor Scottish, neither can i speak the languages, proud to british, call Austria my second home and love all people from all societies, nationalities, culture and creed

I found that BBC Alba is good for Scottish Football lovers.

As an Motherwell fan BBC Alba pick more Motherwell games then both BT Sport and $ky Sports.

But given the way greedy sports rights holders are driving up prices by playing off the TV providers against each other, should the BBC be expected to spend inordinate amounts of money on these sports?

But English is the main language of business, it is a fact, not an opinion.

I do understand the issue about culture, but you know what, I don't want to pay for that out of my TV licence. Given that just about everyone can speak English in the communities BBC Alba serves, I really don't see the point in having a separate language BBC channel in this case. If people want it, they can pay for it. BBC Alba didn't even exist until recently, so it is not that big a deal, and the fact that they didn't have a TV channel over all those years before has not killed the language.

This is not as outrageous as you imply. Cornwall also has its own native tongue, but it doesn't have its own BBC channel. Where do you draw the line?

Frankly, if the world spoke the same language there would be less potential for conflict because we'd all be able to understand each other better, so I'm not really into preserving languages that are hardly used. However, if people want to preserve it, they can continue to speak it, nobody's stopping them.

My point is that you can't have a separate channel for every small minority language, particularly when you think of the small numbers speaking it - that doesn't make economic sense particularly in these difficult economic times.

Speakers of minority languages probably feel the same about paying the licence fee to fund programmes solely in English.

Cornwall had its own language, which became extinct in the 19th century. The point of these channels is to prevent the Gaelic and Welsh languages also becoming extinct.

Fortunately, previously extinct languages such as Cornish and Manx are being revived. So there may come a time when some of your licence fee also goes towards supporting channels in these languages. ;)

Yes, the last I heard was that they were trying to bring back the dinosaurs!

I think I'm beginning to support the campaign to abolish the TV licence altogether if this is how our money is to be spent. Perhaps the support of small minority languages in this way is a better use of the National Lottery money collected. At least people can choose whether to buy National Lottery tickets.

Seriously, public money should not be used to support these small minority interests. There should be a different way of raising money that enables people to choose. A separate voluntary Arts and Culture tax, perhaps, that taxpayers can elect to pay if they wish to. National taxation should be used for the essentials only, such as defence, education, social services and so forth.

Unless we are sensible about how we spend our money, we will never be a low tax economy and people will continue to struggle.

Sadly, they won't be contributing to licence fee, so won't get their own channel.

Surely, this is the point of the licence fee, to fund programmes which wouldn't be made commercially. All viewers pay the fee and they all get something in return. The licence fee isn't a subscription solely to produce more of the content you personally want to see, that's what pay tv provides.

Which additional channels? BBC One +1 is pencilled in to replace BBC Three in 2015. Assuming the BBC Trust approves the closure of BBC Three and the transfer of its content to iplayer.

Long term it looks like we could be getting all the missing HD variants that we are missing.

Don't think of it as losing a Set Top Box, think of it as gaining High Definition :D

Just thinking, if BBC 3 goes online only could VM stream the channel through TIVO on its current EPG slot meaning they would not lose BBC3 at all? Or would they have to do a press red for BBC3 thing like the Netflix and TIVO Channels?

Great work by Media Boy but maybe weekly is a bit too frequent for such summaries, given that it's quite slow at the moment?

I've suggested this before, but why not just list any changes and also add a link to the full list?

To be honest I think the only way we can solve this problem is for an administrator/moderator to do the list. They've made moves to try and discourage him by starting this thread. I hope they'll go further.

On other forums (forai?) they make the initial post in the new thread with the current list. Then because they are administrators, they can edit the first post at any time to keep it up to date. We know where to get the latest list if we want to, the flow of the discussion is uninterrupted and the thread doesn't look like someone's constantly taking a dump in it. :D

Oh, and as for the general literacy standards... :welcome:

Why? MB is the one with the detailed information and is very knowledgeable in this area. I truly value the information he provides and appreciate it. Do the 'administrator/moderators' have all this information? I suspect not.

All we are talking about here is the weekly update and how it is presented. MB's valuable contribution to the thread is not what this is about.

Sounds like a great idea as Media Boy's site would get more hits too, so everyone's a winner :) Other suggestions would be a full-posting on the 1st of each month and updates as they happen with links to the blog. But I guess we all have our own opinions on this subject and none is necessarily right or wrong.

Those who are moaning well here's the thread if you can do any better. End of the day MB has been doing it this way for years so lay off him, especially when you don't post any news/rumours yourselves.
Passinbats link idea is a very good idea though.

Edit - have had a rumour today FOX+24 may launch at somepoint this year on both VM and Sky.

Edit2 - sorry not with it today got a eye infection anyway i noticed on my ps3 today that Vms broadband is showing in the what's new section, might not mean anything but you never know.

This is a good case in question. If an administrator/moderator looked at that, they could make a judgement on it's provenance, trustworthiness etc and decide if to update the list or not.

How can a person (administrator/moderator) who has not received the rumour "make a judgement on it's provenance, trustworthiness etc."?

Only the person who has received the rumour and therefore knows it's source, can do that.

They will have received the rumour, it will have been posted here by Me, you, Media Boy, theone2k or someone else. Over time (they already are) the arbitrator will learn to judge who is worth listening to and those that aren't. They'll also be able to judge which rumours are just 'vanity posts' by those that wish to self publicise.

I'm not suggesting that rumour posts shouldn't be posted on the rumour thread. Just that it could be improved by a more useful summary rather than these continual garbage dumps. Perhaps there are other ways. Mine is only a suggestion that I've seen working well on other forums.

The thread is ok as it is i like MBs regulare updates personally as i use it to cross compare with info i have, i get quite a lot of info and rumours given to me from various sources and MBs regular list help me work out the likely from the unlikely if that makes any sense? lol.
As for the forum staff verifying info, if they're not getting the information or have any sources then they can't verify it.
This thread has always been speculation and information. For those wanting concrete launches there is a chanlog which could do with being made into a sticky thread imo to make it easier to find.
FOX24 is a new rumour so yes it is worth posting as this is what this thread is for.
Let's all just enjoy the speculation and rumours and look forward to the goodies coming our way in 2014 one thing i do know and am 99% confident is happening is LG are going to concentrate highly on on demand services, don't expect too many linar channel launches but expect the OD content/services to increase a lot.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
 
It's like Lord of the Flies on here today :)

Media Boy has been posting these updates for years. There's been plenty of opportunities for the site administrator / moderators to step in to stop it but they haven't because there's no real reason too. He's not breaking any rules.

It's much more valuable than some of the stuff posted on here day in, day out. For starters it's probably the most on topic post of the day!

Anyways instead of airing dirty laundry in public, why not use the report post facility if a post bothers you? That way someone on the site will make a judgment call and it draws the matter to a quick resolve.

You're misunderstanding me. The rumour is certainly worth posting as it's a rumour. However the administrator would use his or her judgement to decide if it should be included on the rumoured coming soon list. If you (or anyone else) has a record of usually being right, presumably they'd be likely to trust your rumours and include them. This would open the forum up to more than the clique and benefit everyone.

Apart from making some people feel 'at home' what possible use does this weekly dump of illiterate nonsense possibly serve? A point raised not by me, but by others.

He does an amazing job but times change. With the lack of new channel launches this year I think it's fair that people are able to suggest new ideas eg frequency, blog links. These aren't criticisms but what social media is all about ie harnessing the power of several people as oppose to just one person.

I can understand where you're coming from but this is the way this thread has been done for years and a majority of users are happy with it being this way. The forum staff would step in i'm sure if they thought it was needed but they probably know what many of us know. Most users are happy with the thread being the way it is and the rumours/speculation keep the thread flowing along nicely. If anyone doesn't wish to read MBs list or rumours others post all they have to do is simply scroll past it.
If you see a poster saying such and such is happening, and it has a huge list under it. Then you see that poster at other locations on your journey i'm pretty sure like me you'd just suck it up and say "meh" that's similar to this thread just suck it up and anything you don't like just 2meh" at it.
One thing i love about CF is everyone seems to get along too and we can have open discussions like this without getting banned or savaged lol.

Because that is not what that is for. It's not an offensive post or potentially breaking rules.

People are merely giving their opinion on how information is most effectively communicated.

I read with interest, every post MB makes, except for the weekly update, which I always skip.

The reason being is that you can't see the wood for the trees; It is such a long post, that it is difficult to quickly pick out the new information from loads of things that haven't changed for ages.

Hence my suggestion to post just changes, which you can see in an instant, and a link to the full list for new readers or those who want to check on previously posted info.

True however it can be used to report spam, which I think some people on here feel it is.

Forum spam definition:

"Forum spam consists of posts on Internet forums that contains related or unrelated advertisements, links to malicious websites, and abusive or otherwise unwanted information. Forum spam is usually posted onto message boards by automated spambots or manually with unscrupulous intentions with one idea in mind: to get the spam in front of readers who would not otherwise have anything to do with it intentionally."

I can understand people debating what they'd prefer, or what can be changed however ultimately it's down to the poster if he wants to change his style or not. If he doesn't then people will just have to lump it.

You're spitting in the wind with this. Of course, you have a point, but this is Media Boy's thread and it happens to be the most popular on the forum. It is easy to see the changes because they are in bold - you can soon whizz through what you don't want to see.

I think you will get a barrage of objections if you are suggesting that Media Boy's posts should be censored! He has the right to post what he likes on here, as do we, and as for changing the job descriptions of the Moderators - good luck with that. ;)

I agree. I'm spitting in the wind. But remember this isn't MB's thread anymore, it's the moderators. And I also agree that these dumps are easily scrolled past. But given that everyone does. What is the point in them? Nevertheless, he has a perfect right to dump them, I understand that too.

As for re-writing the moderators job description. I wasn't trying to do that, I was merely pointing out that the re-edited 1st post system is used in other forums successfully and would work very well here if there was a will. If there isn't, no matter. I'll just have to keep scrolling. :)

That is not what I mean. BBC outbid ITV for for premier highlights and FA cup.

Premier highlights are protected and will always be FTA under current legislation. I say let ITV, CH4, CH5 and other FTA channels battle for it.

As to FA Cup although it is only the final protected by the legislation FA have made it clear that they will not let it all go subscription much the same as UEFA have insisted BT make some Champions League matches FTA (which could well end up on Channel 5 if BT are successful in their Bid for it)

Interesting times ahead mate Liberty Global who own VM are no small fish either.
With Netflix already on the VM platform and Lovefilm set to appear on VM in 2014 things are already looking better for VM customers.

To add i got a reply of MGMHD too.
"Dear <name edited>,
We were alarmed to see that there is a rumour going around that MGMHD will cease broadcasting in the UK in January. First of all allow me to explain what is happening. MGMHD will not cease to broadcast on the Sky digital platform. We are currently negotiating with other providers to make MGMHD available to more people, also we are considering a streaming service too for those who can't or don't want sattelite. We cannot disclose the providers we are in talks with at the moment but let me assure you MGMHD is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Yours sincerly
<name edited>
MGM customer service."
REALLY sorry to disagree but Netflix and LoveFilm are AWWWWWFULLLLLLLL,
I had them both on the xbox and paid for about six months, both were full of old outdated films and I felt on demand was a much better option at no cost to me!

If you like it its good, if you want to watch newer films its not!

Have fun :cool:

Well officially no one has actually been confirmed as bidding and those that are linked are just via rumours/leaks from those in the know (at least from what I understand). Only confirmation I recall seeing was that ITV were not bidding.

We shall see in a few days, have to say sounds like that if BT have put in a bid they will face stiff competition.

I've had a couple of free 1 month trials with Netflix and there isn't really enough on there to make me want to continue paying for it to be honest.

Also with Amazon Prime/Lovefilm, am currently on a free month trial of that and again I wouldn't pay the subscription for it (though found out the OH gets it free through her bank, even then doubt will use it frequently)

As for re-writing the moderators job description. I wasn't trying to do that, I was merely pointing out that the re-edited 1st post system is used in other forums successfully and would work very well here if there was a will. If there isn't, no matter. I'll just have to keep scrolling. :)

this is a forum and a really good one. this thread makes the most traffic i believe from what i can see. i dont know why the forum would want to stop or discourage friendly discussion. it really put me off this place to be honest.

but anyway continuing with "on topic" discussion. do we have any timescale about love film coming to VM? I really like netflix and have no idea what would be on love film.

and again cheers MB for your work and this thread. appreciated.

All this handbags nonsense about who owns a thread. Get a grip, what does it really matter. It's this sort of turgid waffle that turned me off this thread.

And sorry MediaBoy does bring decent rumours but those huge posts including who owns food network et all are completely pointless.

We shall see in a few days, have to say sounds like that if BT have put in a bid they will face stiff competition.
There are rumours abound that LGI may want to get into the content world and may start with bidding for ch5.

If you like it its good, if you want to watch newer films its not!

Have fun :cool:
Depends how you use Netflix when used with a VPN most new movies are on it alot before Sky too.
As for lovefilm i agree that is pretty poor. IMO Netflix pq is much better than Skys too, it looks stunning on the ps3 in 1080p.

It's all very interesting, have also read that Discovery, which is owned by John Mallone who is the chairman of LGI may also make a joint bid with Sky - strange times.

What a load of tosh.

If a moderator wanted to start the thread then he can. No one owns the rights to post certain threads.

So you can thank Stephen for the thread, not Media Boy!

Spot on.

Let's face it, 90% of this thread is pointless off topic drivel to be honest and not related to what's coming soon. For example a few pages of what BBC channels cost what and even this discussion about MB and this thread in the past week.

To actually find genuine rumours that people such as theone2k10 is getting harder and harder.

Cue the clique responses to say if you don't like it don't read it and check the change log thread, well as long as they got a thread to post chit chat to each other that's all that counts.

The bold part is were your wrong , you listed a small amount , clearly the few Netflix has first run rights to. Check the new in on Sky or Now TV each week and you'll see very few are available on Netflix in any region.

Including this one, I have to say, Paul.

There are very few genuine rumours now because most of the missing channels of any merit have been launched.

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps you could exclude all the regular posters on here except for those of whom you approve. However, you will be missing out on a lot of entertainment in the process.

It's been said before, and I'll say it again. If you only want to read about what is really confirmed, look at the changelog, because very little is pre-announced these days.

But redbull, in terms of adding to content, this is good.

As far as the films are concerned, we can get first run films on a PPV basis via Virgin Movies. After 6 months, they are on Sky Movies, and then after 2 years they are shown by a variety of outlets, including Netflix and Lovefilm.

Clearly, you only need to subscribe to those channels and streaming services that have the material that you want to see.

Don't forget also that Netflix are expanding their selections with new programming as well as providing whole series of programmes that have been denied to us by the broadcast channels in this country. Breaking Bad series 3 onwards is an example of that.

The HBO On Demand app mooted to be coming to VM might be more suited to you as this will contain first run shows, but it looks like that will be PPV.

We all know that this is actually Media Boy's thread though, Vince. Unfortunately, MB's normal listings didn't feature at the beginning of this one due to this change, which was a pity because this is what people should be able to refer back to from whichever page they were on.

Ok i'll rephrase it to some. :p:

Speaking of Sky you seen the price of their Skystore movies now £5.49 for HD. I'm wondering how long before VM follow suite and up their prices too.

Yep all gone up new releases £4.49 and HD new releases £5.49 , I won't be paying for any at those prices. How much do VM charge ?

Atm it's £3.99 for SD and £4.99 for HD. I personally don't use it i prefer Blinkbox as they do the 99p Mondays, allthough it's hit n miss what they offer for 99p.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
 
Ok for those NOT in the KNOW from time to time we retread the Coming Soon Thread at Media Boys request I may add.We also do it with other long running threads from time to time such as the Happy Thought thread and we archive the older threads.

What we do not want is the endless bickering,flaming trolling and off topic posts that so often appear in all of the incarnations of the Coming Soon threads previous and present.

Please just this once can we just contribute meaningfully to the thread or just leave if you have nothing constructive to add...We also reserve the right to remove any postings we deem off topic.
Thanking you for your future co-operation.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
 
Maggy, thank you for the clarification. I appreciate that this is not necessarily the right place to reply, but in the circumstances I think it might be important for everyone to be able to read discussions about how the thread is shaped.

Firstly, can you explain what you mean by "retread"?

Can you confirm that this is done at Media Boy's request? In a previous post he said he didn't " know or care".

Since every thread like this descends in to chat, and previous chat threads aimed at taking the chat away from this thread have been quickly shut down by mods, is it not time to simply rename it "coming soon and related discussion"? That way there can be no suggestion that what people want to write here is off topic, and people know fully what to expect from the title.

Andy, with the greatest of respect to you, we're not a government department ... we don't have to confirm (or, indeed, deny) anything. ;) We are answerable to each other and to the site owners via the team forum.

By "retread", Maggy simply means close one and open another one. Sometimes, vast threads with hundreds of pages are daunting for less experienced forum users.

It is NOT Mediaboy's thread. A topic of discussion can be started by anyone. As I am still a poster on this forum I too can start a thread.

FYI I started it this year as MB wasn't around and 2014 had already started. This thread tends to descend into a total farce with hundreds of OT posts that contribute nothing and I was simply reminding others that its better to stick to the topic as many other users often complain that its always drifts off.

So its not MB's topic at all. In fact I remember starting a couple of them in the past.

As another mod stated no own owns a topic.

No, you don't have to. But if everything is above board I can't see why you wouldn't be prepared to - it isn't unreasonable to call in to question the veracity of a statement made about Media Boy which appears to have been contradicted by Media Boy himself.

Thank you for the clarification. Since, by your own admission, this IS a discussion thread, can consideration be given to my suggestion that a subtle change is made to the name in order to reflect this and prevent confusion.

A simple solution to the "problem" of this thread and one already mentioned is to have a closed, stickied thread that can be updated with news and rumours as they happen, but no discussion. It's what we used to have and it worked well. But it means someone has to keep updating it.

And....(gulp) might regret this.... I am happy to undertake such a task if no other volunteer (victim) is available.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
 
An honourable offer but I don't think it's needed.

I think we establish no one has issues with the rumours, the actual thread itself and the chit chat around it it's seems the "marmite" issue is media boy weekly statement of current affairs in the world of cable which is provided unabridged that people are suggesting needs either removing/tweaking,evolving or left as it is to satisfy this thread

If this weekly changes was to placed in a topic on its own and updated weekly then people can choose to view or avoid it if media boy doesn't wish to change the format (which is his prerogative and the moderators choosing) like the confirmed changes then I think this could satisfy everyone.

That way it's not entered on this thread, media boy doesn't need to change the format and still gets to update weekly or at a time he wishes and those who want to can view/avoid it

Well technically the changelog is there to acknowledge and addition and removal of channels and services on VM.

Most of the time channels only get revealed just before they are added so really there isn't much need for a Coming Soon thread. As by the time its announced its normally only a few days away.

This thread ends up as just chit chat and wild speculation.
