Sorry Den meant Liverpool fans in the media every year ex Liverpool players predict they can challenge for the top 4 if not the title. Sadly that ain't gonna happen. However will you be able to watch Liverpool on BT Sport via Virgin that is the question: whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer Jay Spearing or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing sack Brendan Rogers;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Brendan Rodgers reminds me of David Brent...

I'm getting that way myself. I'm knocking back my new favorite tipple. A bottle of Desperado mixed with a bottle of Corona. Managed to pick up a 700ml glass from IKEA which takes both bottles nicely. I even had the cheek to put crushed ice and lime in my last one :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Just seen this about a new Sky box - http://www.techradar.com/news/televi...tember-1168979

Wonder if VM may follow suit an issue an updated TiVo with WiFi at some point so you don't have to mess about with Ethernet cables or home plugs to use the remote function on the TV Anywhere app? Knowing VM, I doubt it but you never know....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I have a feeling Sky will have a 4k TV channel out before VM launch a new Tivo box with built in wifi :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Don't want my Tivo WiFi connected. I'll stick to reliable cable thankyou. Plus I don't want even more intense signals bouncing around my living room all day just to watch TV.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

To supplement or replace their fabulous 3d channel, btw Virgin will be able to offer 4k as soon as 7 people want it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

...or perhaps nobody can be bothered to do the research on your behalf in order for you to back up a point that you wish to make?

Indeed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Every so often though they will have to put a fresh lick of paint on to dry, could be quite interesting. Hope it's in the XL pack and not an optional add on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Whats the point when no channel in the UK is broadcasting in 1080P :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I just got robbed at my local bus stop. I hoped i would turn up to the gentleman media boy stroking my belly telling me BT sport would be coming.

Oh dear what will you do until Monday my dear chap.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

BBC1/2 HD use 1080p on Freeview for some programmes.

---------- Post added at 08:43 ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 ----------

I see content from Sky News is now appearing in HD on TVOD. This may or may not mean anything...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

That's interesting....

Could the four channels testing be Sky Atlantic SD/HD, Sky News HD and Sky Sports News HD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Five days to go..........
Sky rockets (excuse the pun)
or
Damp squids............

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Yes it could. But, if you said 4 other channels names, my answer would be the same. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Well its either going to be WW3 or JB's going to pay for a extended party.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I'd say Drama, SKY 1+1, SKY News HD and SKY Sports News HD.

Wild guesses or do you have a insider my young man?.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Interesting...
Also interesting is that the EPG for ESPN SD/HD is still showing content up to the 10th August on my TiVo's...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I think the fact that one of the last pages on the Sky website that says SA is exclusive to Sky is now invalid cause the offer has expired, the fact Sky News is delivering HD content to VM shows to me that there has been a new agreement between the 2!

It does seem strange as the other 2 ESPN channels are saying 'channel no longer available'..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

espn classic and espn America are closing John just gonna be espn and espn HD left when bt take over

Will a budgie do? It has a friend for you :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I think they're referring to WiFi in a home network scenario not tv
, ie streaming music and video from a PC or NAS, etc.B

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Very wild :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

True, but if we wre not getting BT Sport then we would lose ESPN SD/HD and the 2 channels EPG's should say the same from 1st August as ESPN Classic/America... :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Anybody else think that maybe the ESPN and ESPNHD channel listings are still available because VM and BT have reached an agreement to still have those two channels in XL but BT Sports would be a stand alone channel?
And the test channels could possibly be SA & either SA+1 or SAHD?

I do work for Virgin, I'm just specualting like the rest of you, We've been told nothing at all.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

im still confident we get bt sports John mate ;););)

"What happens to recordings I've made from the ESPN channels?"

Anything you’ve recorded from the ESPN HD/America/Classic channels will be there to enjoy until 1 November 2013. After that, they’ll disappear.

Why would recordings disappear for ESPN HD? That to me suggests ESPN HD might not be available on Virgin Media going forward.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

If I was bothered (not), I might speculate that it is only showing the ESPN channels because they are the only channels that will exist from the present setup (as the other ESPN channels will cease regardless, so won't have any content to show)

So you could presume that ESPN is only showing because it has content to show, but not necessarily will it be available along side BT Sport

ESPN will very likely be moving to a different playout on Thursday so the EPG data stream would be different for listings 1/08/2013 onwards...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I failed to find any "exclusive" that fitted in with my question. My conclusion that no virgin personnel who is likely to be party to what is coming soon.would do such a thing . Really you think it would happen:confused:
Or do you think that a senor member of staff would risk there job to feed him tit bits ! Get real.
Yes his knowledge of TV services is great. His information on Virgin services is weak ( ie Tivo)
Ergo, some one( or even more than one) is winding him up & have a big laugh at him & his disciples.
I would even question if the so called insider is real at all.

I am sorry but if the plebs* were told anything it would also be on Virgins web site & in a press release.

No I get it - Announcement to all staff .Hey guys & girls we are about to sign a new deal with X,Y or Z it will happen in the next 1 to 3 months perhaps. Please do not tell any one.
I can just see any business doing that !! & its the way MB says it happens.

Or perhaps someone is hacking into the CEO pc and looking. Passing on what he/she sees to him.

Sorry what I see is an attention seeker feeding at best a guess at worse complete rubbish to people looking for a straw:erm:
* check out the meaning

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Media Boy posted weekend update on the rumours August 1st channels launches.

One insider has confirmed:

But an other told me later:

I have not seen any confirmed yet on what Virgin Media are testing - all I know is FOUR Channels are testing.
