Hi Steve, I think you have nailed it! Media Boy, can you now say whether or not that this is the app that is being tested under your DNP?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I don't see how with the extended tivo contract ending in a few years and tivo themselves are now struggling in the States, that VM would launch a brand new tivo. Doesn't make sense, yet most here are saying a new tivo will be launched. Has Vm themselves ever said that....?

Liberty, as already mentioned, contribute and co-own a standardised software bundle called RDK which Horizon runs on. I don't see how Liberty would invest in this and then run a completely different system, tivo, in parallel to their own stuff.

200 odd companies are involved in RDK, so why bother with tivo now?

RDK's website:

Re apps, Liberty have their own Netflix-ish app called MyPrime. Can only be a matter of time before it launches on VM. It's on LG's other cablecos.

At some point VM UK and VM Ireland's services will be integrated. So we should really look here for pointers:

Spiderplant works for VM, and no, you don't 'have a right to know'!

You are only allowed to know that there is a DNP order, remember? The little snippet of information that you thought was so useful in a previous post! ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It's suggested in that Telegraph article as it states that VM will launch a new box at the turn of the year and then beyond that it will shift to Horizon.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/...sform-its-neg/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

.... the Telegraph article is rubbish.

Horizon is a front end, a user interface. It's not a distribution system at all, so no idea what they're going on about.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Presumably the copy would have been cleared with VM so maybe a subbing error.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I do still thinks it's useful. But spiderplant works for the company. So that means virgin knows the information. They know how fed up customers are with TiVo but don't share good news with us just bills increase

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I certainly agree with you that it would be good to know, but we don't have the right to know it until Virgin is good and ready.

Unless, of course, you are theone or you work at that tall shiny office building that is Media Boy HQ :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Like TiVo it requires a substantial middleware component for servicing the EPG, search, on-demand browsing, box authentication, etc - which I thought came under the Horizon banner as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Right now there isn't really anything to know. "You'll get a software update at some point but we don't know when" isn't much of a news story.

I expect there will be some sort of communication close to the deployment in your area, as there was for the people in the first pilot regions.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Exactly. I also think that TiVo's days may be numbered completely.

They are struggling in the states as it's been found that those not prepared to pay for television are also not prepared to pay the TiVo fee.

It looks to me that the only way that they are able to keep going in the states is by doing what they did in the UK- joining forces with cable companies, even by doing this their penetration is an abysmal less than 2%.

They are currently trying to sell themselves to Rovi.

If this falls through, I think that TiVo will either fold or be bought up by a cable company (who then won't have to pay licensing fees).

I wonder if the launch of MyPrime will affect carriage of Netflix?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

MyPrime is just the brand the other LG cablecos use for their On Demand services. So if it did launch here, it would in effect just be a renaming exercise of VM's exisiting services. (Everyone forgets we've had "streaming" on cable long before Netflix ever existed aka On Demand/VOD - Video On Demand.)

I really can't call it on Tivo's future. Some say the company will become more successful than ever and its share price will double over the next year or so and others say the opposite. I wouldn't be too surprised if John Malone came along and made an offer for TIVO at some point. He doesn't like to keep all his eggs in one basket...

TIVO, as we see it on VM, has all the potential but poorly implemented and neglected. TIVO has always had powerful search features long before SkyQ or Netflix, but its a pain in the neck navigating around on VM's version.

THe On Demand section is a mess and text based, yet if you search for the same stuff in Search & Discover you get nice pictures and its just a better experience.

Perhaps if the imminent software upgrade does improve things, VM will stick with TIVO for the time being. But unless they sort out the basic useability issues (which have always been poor in UK cable's history) ie slow channel change, sluggish menus/operation etc, I don't see a future for TIVO here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That will depend on whether VM see an overhaul as meaning that performance issues are addressed properly or if it just means adding a new feature or two while fixing some issues. The On Demand screens sound like they are having a change from text to thumbnail but if the performance isn't there what's the point?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

My Prime wording is taken up with Amazon Prime. I don't Think Amazon would like that some how..... :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I don't think there is much doubt that VM will stick with Tivo for the time being. The existing box will be upgraded and a new box will come out in 7-9 months' time.

After that, I think the likelihood is that the next box for VM will be an enhanced Horizon box. Expect that to be well advanced in Virgin's plans about three years from now, with a planned rollout in 2021, if not a little before.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It wouldn't make business sense for virgin or any other company to reveal all its plans so who knows what sort of box virgin have planned for us next. I for one are prepared to wait and are thankful of any snippets of news mediaboy or spiderplant bring us.

"As with its other DVRs, the new model will have access to over-the-top (OTT) services as well including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video and YouTube. It will also have the company's newest viewing options such as SkipMode that allows you to skip commercial breaks with a single button press."


I know this is for the U.S.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Us as in U.S. :)
We certainly won't be getting advert skip.
I did read elsewhere that Turner are developing a classic film on-demand service. I can envisage this coming to the UK and VM in particular.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It also relies on humans to manually flag where the ads are so is only for some of the bigger channels.

http://filmstruck.com/ - a joint offering with the Criterion Collection. Given the latter just launched in the UK maybe it won't be so far behind.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The skip mode currently is for selected channels

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Hasn't it been said that the contract with TiVo ends in 2018 though??

Does anyone know if it will be technically possible to drop the Horizon software onto the existing boxes that currently run on TiVo?

Some background info here:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Contracts get renewed. Just because the current deal expired April 2018 doesn't mean the end for the Virgin Media TiVo.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The TiVo will be around in my humble opinion for the next 5 years at least...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I agree. Having worked on a brand new Tivo box to replace the current one, I can't see them ditching it two years later. Five years after rollout seems a reasonable expectation for the new Horizon boxes to be provided to VM customers.

As for the existing Tivo contract, my guess is that it will simply be renewed for the desired period so that existing boxes can continue to be supported.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

As you been working on box can you tell us if increased storage will be available

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I think OB meant that VM have been working on a new box as opposed to himself!

Another forum member has stated that he has been told by a VM rep that "the V+ will be redundant by the end of the year".

Will we then get TiVo software dropped onto the V boxes as mooted a few years back?

A mop up of any customers still using old SD boxes could mean everyone on TiVo software in preparation for the introduction of Horizon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I'd imagine if the Tivo software is slow on the current boxes it would be even slower if run at all on the older V boxes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

.... you raise a interesting point. What happens to the liberate software on the v boxes? I wonder how long the Liberate contract still has to run? Will the v boxes be phased out and the current "premium" tivo boxes become the bog standard ones instead.

I have a v box and it runs faster than the tivo, mainly because its 2 week guide was striped out of it some time ago. I seem to recall VM saying a few years ago that they would download tivo software onto the standard boxes minus the recording features. I can't say I'd be thrilled about that if that's still the plan.

It's ironic that ALL Freeview boxes of today run faster than anything that VM offer. And as for Amazon Fire sticks, or Chrome, or any other USB stick, they are far, far, better than our "premium" boxes for which we pay a premium for.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

They are 'younger' and therefore have faster processors, and don't have as much processing to do.

That is why I use Tivo just as a PVR and streamer boxes for OTT.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That's what I was thinking ie TiVo being the standard offering with Horizon as the premium service.

I don't know if V boxes will get TiVo software or not, but the then CEO did say that it was an option some years ago.

My old V+ box was stripped of some services over the years, I had no idea that this had also been done to the V boxes too.

As you say, if these boxes are struggling now, I wonder how/if they could cope with TiVo software.

It was interesting to read in the VM Ireland link that someone provided earlier that HD channels appear to be provided as standard for the channels subscribed to for the two TV packages that VM Ireland appear to offer.

I think it's now time that VM did this in the UK as I don't think that HD should be regarded as a premium service in 2016.

Even Sky are scrapping their HD charge for movies from 1/6/16.

The charge remains for sport, not sure about the position with regards to the HD variants of the basic channels.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...-provided.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I agree with you, we pay £5 per month per box. But all these sticks thin little sticks are faster than TiVo. Virgin should have got off the a**** a long time ago so boxes would be replaced before the slowed down

---------- Post added at 22:02 ---------- Previous post was at 22:00 ----------

I don't think there should be any premium for a standard format like HD. But to be honest before we get excited there is probably a 4K movies charge coming from sky soon

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

VM are certainly making their assets sweat.

Oh yes, you can be sure that Sky will be introducing a 4K/UHD charge and may even take steps to prevent the channel/s being carried by competing platforms ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

No, they won't.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Liberate went out of business many years ago. The software is now supported by Seachange, presumably for as long as VM require.

You needn't worry; it turned out to not be viable

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Due to cost considerations PVR's are typically replaced every 5-6 years, Streamer sticks every 1-2 years.

If you want PVRs replaced more frequently, you need to be prepared to pay more for your VM services.

I'm guessing it would be cheaper to shell out for a streamer stick, than pay the price rise that VM would have to impose to replace their PVR every two years.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

... it would be nice to have the option to choose what equipment we can use, so that I can organise things as I want them, not as VM want them.

Chance of that happening, zero.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well that means virgin unlikely to get sky premium 4K as they don't charge there customers or if we do the cost will fall to virgin customers to pay

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

If the wholesale price contains an add on cost for 4K, they will have to pass it on. They are not making money out of the Sky premium channels as it is and they certainly wouldn't contemplate a loss.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I think some trialists got it at the tail end of 2009, but the official release was April 2010. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

---------- Post added at 11:47 ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 ----------

Why would Sky let any other provider have 4k Sky content? It is a USP for them. The Sky Atlantic situation illustrates that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

VM will be getting some form of 4k content mostly on demand stuff though, we believe this may be through netflix though so would require a Netflix subscription.
VM may get some 4k channels Discovery are rumoured to be launching a 4k channel so hopefully this will be on VM at some point.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I didn't say they would. However, if they did, VM would have to pass on any additional charge made for 4K to their customers.

This is why Virgin need to get back in the content game, so they can compete with Sky on more equal terms.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It would take billions to compete with BT and Sky if they wanted to get back into the content game and somehow l don't think Virgin will be going down that route anytime soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Thanks Spiderplant.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It was never communicated by VM that it would part of their version of TiVo as far as I'm aware. I certainly don't remember ever seeing it, and I've had TiVo since the TiVo 500.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Sadly, UK content wouldn't have allowed that anyway.

It will be interesting how much content will be allowed to be streamed to tablets on the new Tivo. MRS on the current Tivo is extremely limited, so much so that it's almost useless. Again, probably down to content providers restricting, or wanting extra money for the privilege.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

With Sky Q all channels and recordings can be streamed between boxes and to tablets in the home. I think certain content from certain channels isn't allowed to be downloaded to watch on the move though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The bar has been set then.

MRS should have been the same. Whether content providers have softened their stance on this recently or Sky have more clout with content providers (or prepared to pay them more money) will be interesting to see when the new Tivo is released.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Irish TV 'In talks' to launch on Virgin Media.

The independent in Ireland is reporting that Virgin Media are in talks with Irish TV to appear on the company's media platform.

But We do not know if Irish TV will appear just on Virgin Media Ireland or also added on Virgin Media UK as well.

http://www.independent.ie/business/m...-34652213.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The problem is, content is king, and without content, Virgin will continue to get left behind and the gap will widen.

However, whether or not they should participate in Premier League bidding, that is a different matter. Sports rights have got totally out of hand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That's certainly what their advertising states. After my own dismal experience networking my TiVos that's a compelling reason to consider switching.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I thought most (or all) channels can be streamed with MRS now?

BBC and ITV both work as I have used them today.

Because you are aiming your questions and frustrations squarely at MB. From what I can gather I think MB just knows people at VM, and they let him know what is potentially going to happen.

I seriously doubt the VM big wigs are e-mailing sensitive commercial information to a few select people, as you seem to be suggesting.

The DNPs will also be important because his sources could be one of a handful of people in the know, and if the info is leaked, it could possibly be tracked to that person.

Personally, I do not care what the arrangement is between VM and MB (and equally throne) I am grateful for the info MB and the one share with us - even if it is just DNPs.

---------- Post added at 02:58 ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 ----------

Pretty sure VM have a lot more content than a number of their rivals. The gap will widen against Sky, but that has always been the case, and always will be. VM simply don't have the money to challenge them.

I certainly wouldn't watch it, even if I was Irish, and I can't see most people wasting their time watching this stuff. Why expect Virgin to rack up the costs in putting on channels that no-one will watch, just for the sake of it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Depends if the channel coughs up for a slot on VM. VM UK already carries RTE radio nationally, but won't carry the TV channels outside NI due to rights issues & no doubt the cost to RTE, although VM Ireland carries the BBC & ITV channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It would be good to get RTE though!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

It really amazes me that on a day when we get a letter, saying that our Sky sports package is going by 3.00 quid. Its a make in the teeth, when they say we get BT sport amongst the package - free.

VM must thinl that l am thick.

They claim that Sky have put up the package rate to us. No wonder customers complain..

Sky reps in Hounslow have said that they can offer us 50% discount if we return to Sky. For the first time, my wife even stopped to speak with them.

Anymore increases and we still have the same channels. Then it will be back to SKY

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes, I found that too. It has been the thing that bugged me most about networked TiVos. I wonder if it's to bring TiVo in line with Sky Q which doesn't have this restriction. I hope Virgin Media can build on this with the next generation of TiVo. As it now is with my two networked TiVos I have the equivalent of a 2TB box with 6 tuners.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I wonder if Virgin have changed it from an opt-in thing where Virgin seeks the broadcasters permission, to an opt-out thing where Virgin just lets it be until a broadcaster complains about it. Seems odd that they went from the limited selection previously to virtually every channel available

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I just got some new Ethernet cables from Amazon Tommorrow and is there any restrictions at all on this. I originally ditched them because what I could really view before was terrable it's took Virgin years, I guess it's because sky have no real restrictions but it shouldn't take 5 years

Also there is no longer a list of channels showing what available and the power cables for sharing now gone from her site, maybe this is for wifi on the new boxes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The only recordings I have found not able to stream are those from Watch.

Interestingly you mention about wifi on the new boxes. The other day I was trying the streaming out and my powering network was having a moment which stoppe it from working. A message came up on screen saying if you are using a wifi connection then try Ethernet, not seen that before.
