Still to get more info from insiders.

(Info I saw was from rumours posted on DS Forum.)

Reports say Vintage TV may launch on April 2nd on Virgin Channel 343.

I have just received an email from VM offering Picture Box at half price £2.50 for three months. I guess Netflix & Love film are having quiet an effect. Looking at what Picture box offers I am not surprised.

Strange AB as l got one about a hour ago as well and just deleted the email as its a total waste of time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

On that we agree. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Why can't they hurry up and give us what many customers want and that is a chance to subscribe to Lovefilm or Netflix.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

That's two half price offers and a freeview month recently. Surely the beginning of the end.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Its been doomed from the start as the overall quality of the films on offer is very poor.:td:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Well it's been going for a while so some people must be paying for it. As somebody who once paid a subscription for film4 I feel adequately qualified to assert that fools are easily parted from their money!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

...And that's a recommendation? Doesn't sound like 'good stuff' to me when everyone's seen them and one is duff!

Ah, but it's all about the choice, my man, the choice. We want it all!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

I just don't get why anyone would be waiting for these to be added to Tivo.

First of all, the Netflix service you would get on Tivo would limit you to UK Netflix only. On a non Tivo Netflix device, for an extra £3.20 a month, using a service such as Unblockus, you can access all Netflix regions and the need for Lovefilm disappears because there is so much Netflix content available. There are even the first seasons of a couple of Sky Atlantic shows available, i.e. The Borgias and Blue Bloods.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Because the US TiVo already has Netflix, so all they need to do is change the odd thing as its done. I'm sure the Amazon Video on Demand app isn't too structurally different to other LoveFilm apps either.

Essentially its so little effort for these companies, why shouldn't we have the apps?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Don't disagree, and the Tivo Netflix apps is one of the best. But it's been a long time coming and non Tivo Netflix apps offer the advantages I outlined.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Its only available in the US on TIVO's bought from TIVO not TIVO's through a cable operator , that's the big difference.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

You don't see a senior employee (Mrs. Rose) of Comcast, Dish, etcetera, talking about a Netflix app though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
 

Got them on remastered blu-ray, and they look and sound way better than on film 4HD. To be honest most films on film 4 ive either seen hundreds of times, or are total classics and i have them on blu... I bet most serious film buffs are the same.
