Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

CTC is in the Cyrillic alphabet so is actually STS. Interesting that Worldbox has labelled it as CTC on the app. There's some very odd comedy on that channel.. Russian humour, I guess.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Great news, I assume it stands for History 2?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yes it does Nick.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Does history 2 have any history programs?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

If you google the following broadcast has an interesting piece.

Virgin joins battle for US content

Something I said on here they should have been doing long since , use On Demand to it's full potential.

I'm watching Combat Trains right now, so that's 1 so far :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It has always amazed me that Dave hasn't made its way to freesat, it has been on freeview (in one form or another) almost since launch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Presumably Sky sees value in Dave and is prepared to pay a satellite exclusive fee for it which outweighs any extra advertising Dave might have received from being on Freesat.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It's widely belived that Dave will go FTA when rights and Sky contractual agreement issues are resolved.

The +1 variant for Yesterday (the only one of them to have a timeshift service) is expected to join Freesat too.

Unverified rumours abound that Quest and Netflix will also join, as well as the certainly that Talking Pictures starts next month.

With PBS recently joining, Freetime (backwards EPG) and free PVR recording, Freesat is beginning to look very tempting.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Or perhaps UKTV only owns the UK programme rights for some of the content on Dave and the Irish TV networks own the rights for Ireland. Dave has a separate feed for Ireland on Sky.

---------- Post added at 06:37 ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 ----------

There's been rumours about that since the dawn of time, well, since the closure of Top Up TV at least.

Again, probably due to rights issues, the FTA rights to some of the content being held by other networks.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Talking pictures is already unscrambled mate my samsung picks it up via it's sattelite tuner, don't know if it is on freesat EPG yet though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yup Talking Pictures can currently be picked up in non Freesat mode' they will be joining the Freesat EPG in early 2016.

Where have you heard that Gold may be going FTA? Even though it's a shadow of it's former self, I think it would be a great addition to Freesat :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Been rumblings on Dspy in the sattelite forum.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Cheers :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

How true the rumnlings are though i have no idea but i wouldn't be surprised to see good food and gold go fta in the near future with watch and alibi staying uktv premium channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Some of us remember when it was free.

https://youtu.be/FDaNslio-_o

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Aye, until Sky started scrambling all the channels that they could manage to persuade, including QVC!

MTV used to be free too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

MTV was never the same, when it ceased to be MTV Europe. Much better IMO.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

do we have any rumours of anything potentially good coming? even if its only a 20% chance of it occurring i need anything to kid myself that the price hikes may be worth it for lovely goodies.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well there is hope and there is despair Vince and at the moment you seem one of the latter.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

you know me too well den! im a glass half empty sort of guy haha. id love a treat though!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Sadly l don't think there are any more treats this year Vince.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

There isn't not channel wise anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Was told at the weekend that Arte are currently in negotiations with VM to join the platform. No idea if this will be linear or Worldbox.

They have two channels on satellite, with mainly German and French soundtracks, but an English version is available online.

I imagine that the online English version is what we will end up with on Worldbox- my conjecture only, I wasn't told this last part.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

We have seen info that some channels are rumours to be set to launch on Virgin Media UK. We was given the info on an Do Not Post order.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Actually, some of you may have seen this channel before from the days of analogue satellite (it was on Astra 1D on transponder 49).

It was a French channel that often had English and German soundtracks & subtitles (and still does).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I remember it well back in the Astra days

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Hi, does anyone have a full list of what channels that are on Sky but not on VM. I have a friend who is thinking of switching but wants to know what channels they will be missing. I know of the big ones like Atlantic, AMC, and ITV Encore. If someone can post a full list that would help a lot, thanks in advance.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Let's not get too excited. I bet it's a +1, news/shopping or another HD simulcast.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

"According to a customer mailing, Virgin Media WiFi will launch during 2016 and will be available everywhere from high streets to airports. Customers will be able to locate their nearest hotspot through a dedicated app."

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Don't expect any of them to arrive this year dodo and you might not hardly get any next year either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'm not even on the list? sure I've posted on many occasions in the thread?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Only one on that list that i want.universal hd.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well the wait for it has gone on and on and on and on and yet still one does not have it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'd take the HD channels from that list, the rest Sky can keep.

Maybe VM are waiting to unveil their new box for 2016 before anymore channels will arrive?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Or maybe they will just never arrive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Do you guys think VM will do anymore HD swapping in 2016? To bring those channels into more prominence, or maybe if the Tivo Bolt arrives, could we see any 4K channels?

There will no doubt be a 4K fee lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Media Boy Sources has confirm that VEVO is now testing on Virgin Media UK. VEVO will only launch soon on TiVo via an app or Virgin UK Channel 344.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

According to a516digital, he claims that Bike (the new free-to-air sports channel on Sky 464) is coming soon to Virgin Media. No idea what date though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

E-mail suggestion?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yes i would like to know about that too

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

This Clublandaka......etc channel that MB said was launching on 7th Dec, any channel number yet? I can't find it......I have TiVo.

I'm not really bothered but with the lack of anything actually decent ever happening on VM, I'm stuck with looking. For like this to interest me

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It was delayed due to technical problems. I would expect to see it this week on channel 345,

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

We do not count the number of posting that an Cable Forums team member makes over the year.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think he means for BT customers like himself, they get everything a little while after us, Sky channels excepted. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Ignore me i'm on the old sherry lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Probably more in April too

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

l see the Christmas pessimism has come early in your household.;):D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Especially as Stephen was up all night on the 30th November helping to put the forum Christmas decorations up ready for us on 1 December :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's a nice list if it all comes true.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Lets hope it knocks us out.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Thanks. Was it no to both 4G and TV3? I put these on the same line in error.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Just tv3 as far as i'm aware 4g is in the works but no timescale yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

they need to hurry up with 4g as every network has got it bar virgin i don't understand what the delay is if business customers have got it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I totally agree although two smaller and price-driven virtual networks - Asda and TalkTalk do not have 4G offerings yet. I'm sure Sky will offer 4G when it launches its mobile service next year so VM must offer 4G soon.

Must have missed that.

I have a feeling that you might be asked to help put up the Cable forum decorations for Christmas 2016- best to keep 30 November free :D :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Its actually ALL VM TV customers, not just M+ upward. It was a post from someone with TV M querying the new channels they found on the VM community forum that made me chase it up with the forum team.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Even better!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2

Things for 2016.
It's not impossible that VM and Liberty Global will combine or establish an alliance in Europe. The FT today has this evening published an article which effectively says don't rule it out under the headline "Vodafone leaves door ajar to striking a deal with Liberty Global"

Where was this confirmed? Have checked the Extreme TV facebook, Twitter and website and there is no mention it is closing.
