Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Can I ask .... (see above) are you indeed Media Boy under a different name or do you both suffer from dissociative identity disorder ?

Just asking....

No i am not MB, MB has his own sources. Also our way of putting things is completely different too.
99.9% of the forum users can tell me and MB are completely different people, guess you're just another one of those idiots who like to take a swipe to try to make yourself look clever but end up looking rather silly in the process.

I most certainly wont pay a fiver, for BT Europe. Yes, Spurs are in Europe, but l can probably get it streamed somewhere else.

Not only that, l don't like where they have the logo, it spoils the viewing for me. All the other broadcasters have it at the top of the screen,. Why do BT they are better.

Well don't subscribe then simple, you want it pay for it like everyone else has too even BTs own customers have to pay for it (except bt tv) so why should vm be any different?
For the record a lot of American broadcasters have the logo in bottom left or bottom right corner of the screen.

No only bt tv customers get it for free, those who only have bt broadband who get btsports 1+2 and espn free will have to pay for bt sport europe.
I'm a bt mobile customer i get bt sport 1+2 and espn for free but would have to pay £5p/m for bt sport europe.
As i get champions league anyway via foxsport i kindly declined but if i didn't have my usa services i wouldn't mind £5p/m extra tbh.

I think you're right, when BT TV and PlusNet TV get to a significant base there will come a point when it makes more financial sense for Sky to wholesale its channels to BT and take the extra revenue than to withold them.
I'm surprised that Channel 5's Spike isn't on VM yet. I'm less surprised about Universal HD as I don't think LGI has that strong a relationship with Universal.

The terrestial hd channels are bbc1hd, bbc2hd, itvhd, channel4 hd, 4+1hd, 4/7hd, bbcnewshd, aljazeerahd, qvc+1hd, qvc beautyhd (both a waste of valuable bandwidth imo), cbbchd and cbeebieshd i believe all these are on vm?
I think most of the hd internet channels from plusnet are on vm too except for historyhd and CIHD, i think historyhd will arrive next month on vm.
Makes you wonder though if a company as small as plusnet can get historyhd then why haven't a company as big as vm got it yet?

Sky has made no secret of its desire to add the entertainment channels and Sky Sports via Now TV on Youview. I highly doubt it's in a rush to add it's channels to the BT platform via wholesale.

Isn't it because VM tend to add channels as contracts come up for renewal?

Irritating practice, but if it keeps our bills down to negotiate the whole lot together rather than price individual channels, I guess you can see why.
