Cable Forum - General Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014

I just want to add my appreciation to Media Boy and theone for the regular updates they provide. Yes, it may be speculation and rumour but it's better than hearing nothing at all! Keep up the good work guys.

Well said good friend. That's why I love this thread and most of the people on here. I appreciate anything !

Is Bein Sport legally obtainable in the UK for commercial premises, as I would love to dump Sky?

If not, what about domestic premises? Is this legal or does one have to jump through a few hoops?

It's certainly illegal for commercial premises, I'm not sure about domestic premises. I guess this might depend on whether it's from outside the EU. If you subscribed to French beIN it would certainly be against its terms & conditions in the same way that viewing Sky in France is against Sky's terms and conditions...but not illegal.

It's not illegal but is against terms and conditions, however using it for comercial purposes could land you in very hot water but for domestic use it's just against t+cs but i don't think Bein will mind aslong as they get the money each month.
You just need a smart dns service , a decent broadband speed and a device such as a raspberry pi, laptop etc and you're away. Payment is made via paypal.

Sorry if the question is stupid, but regarding the half price offer for Sky Sports and Movies, does it make a difference how I order? The letter says "To order the Sky Sports and Movies collection half price call...". If I try to order through the Tivo box, it doesn't show the half price offer.

You need to call the sales team and do it with them. For anyone else interested, details are now on the customer news section of the website (http://my.virginmedia.com/customer-n...ons-offer.html).

Just rung and added them myself to watch the big games this weekend and the Premier League title run in. :)

Cheers for that. Had Sports anyway and they've just added movies and it comes in around £10 a month cheaper. Takes me through to the end of July when my loyalty discount ends. Then it's time for the bartering to begin...

Ok thanks.

No need to wait for the letter, the offer is advertised when you log in to my virgin media. Just have to ring up, it's about £18 per month for 3 months. (Movies and sports)
Think I'll probably use it for the summer international rugby games.

Thanks. I didn't really want the movies as well, but £17.13 is very good value for three months so I think I'll indulge.

Why not ask them? A bit more reliable that asking random people on the internet. May also be wise to take professional legal advice.

Thanks very much for replying! That will be great if we do get them as it has been a rumour for quite a while now :confused:
