Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

Arent new channels only meant to launch on a Thursday night? I know technically RTE radio isn't a new channel but still this is something new for virgin to do?

Tuesday and Thursday mornings are most common, but channels can launch on any day if necessary.

As i correctly predicted 3 new on demand services have launched - kind of.

3 Music On Demand slates have appeared on channel 301 vm takeover , 304 vm urban and 306 - vm rocks.

So 3 button presses for Home > On Demand > Music On Demand
Or 4 for 3>0>X> Red Button

Bit of a waste of time really!

what about pop girl and true drama starting?

We don't have any info on these yet, very likely not until next year due to a new deal with the owners, I also don't think these are top of the priority list either

However POP Girl still shows a few programmes I remember from when I was a kid, one of them being the Australian programme Mortified which i used to watch every morning before school, would be quite nice to see that again!

Not everyone uses the On Demand menus. Having a barker channel allows discoverability as it shows in the EPG.

You can always hide those channels you don't want to see. They then won't appear on the EPG:D

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I am joining Virgin from Sky at the end of October and I would like to know if you can access TV Anywhere on an Android phone. Also do you get Spotify for free as I am getting the VIP package. Thanks in advance.
John :)
