re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I'd quite like Virgin Media to get Sports Tonight Live! (http://www.sportstonightlive.com/) it's on Freeview HD but on Sky if I recall. It could compete with Sky's Gillette Soccer Saturday on Saturday 3PM football kick offs. And since it wouldn't require a sub, it could be very popular.

re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Didn't you mean if Sky Atlantic does not launch prior to Christmas?

re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Shame virgin media doesn't carry MTV Classic, glad itv have bought the James Bond rights. I can't stand them clogging up the sky movies schedules.

re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Well we won't be getting MTV XMAS cause its replacing MTV Classic

Bond rights have been back with ITV since SM 007 closed in September, the Daniel Craig films have been on ITV 2.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

The list was given to me about FIVE weeks ago from one of my Ex-Rumour posters.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I think the key here off MB is "ex" rumour poster.

To be fair i'd rather have

CNN USA
FOX NEWS
Any german/french/holland national channels (which would need to do a BBC 1 HD job and go "black" whenever a premium show comes on air- which is fine)

I'd take those over sky atlantic and the HD variations any day

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Exactly ;)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

It nice to see that you have been busy looking into your revered crystal ball lately my dear chap.:)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

It is NOT actually on Freeview - although a (very) few Freeview boxes connected to the Internet can stream it.

It left Sky a long time ago - it looked like Soccer Saturday - but the presentation was very poor.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Another source has told me today no more channels except for bbchd channels are coming this year.
So i have two sources both telling me different things so i'm going to go out on a limb here and say "if the sky channels launch they launch , if not then they don't" the problem lately seems to be too many sources. I shall be getting rid of one or two of them.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Great - more films I might watch ruined by ad breaks every 15 minutes :td:

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Record then and fast forward through the ad breaks has always been my motto.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I would like to see virgin stop actively hunting out sports channels as there a many of us, probably the majority who would rather have had the money they spent on BT sport used to get the missing sky channels or some other batch of channels.

Was onto retentions this morning as my £5 loyalty discount had expired and my latest bill had gone up to £84 they weren't able to do anything apart from reinstate the £5 loyalty. e mailed the CEO with a complaint, result £10 discount for 2 tivo, 1 v+, 60 mb broadband, xl TV and phone, feel that is a good result

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Picked up TF1, Canal Plus and Canal Sport on Freeview in Reading recently. Lasted about 30 minutes and they were gone. Anyway try an app called FilmOn TV on Android. I watch a lot of France 2, 3 and 5 on it

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

and take the chance of prematurely wearing out my remaining VHS tapes Never!

Who can argue with that? You don't need to be Mystic Meg there.

ps - and again, if they do, I will be the first to apologise to theone, MB, OldBoy and Den.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Have you not got a PVR spanky?.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

The link says MTV Xmas will be on Virgin channel 321, probably just a mistake if Digital Spy have taken the channel number from MTV Classic's website or good news if the info is from a MTV press release?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yes - I went all retro for a minute :shocking:

Call them both liars and see who takes the huff the most

Lol agreed..

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Seems they have gone off the MTV Classic website, can't seem to find a press release!

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

12 posters has tonight been removed from my 'Posters of 2013' list

Only 64 posters remain.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

your less confident now

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Just too many sources mate going to whittle them down a bit. I still think they will come but at the same time i'm not going to hold my breath if that makes sense? lol.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I been telling everyone that :LOL: think I going to be proved very right sadly

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

The one who told me about ginxtv , bt sport and netflix rollout aswell as the channels such as fox , mtv , syfy being moved to lower packs i'm going to keep. The other two can do one lol.
However the one i'm keeping did not give me the channel list which is why i'm strongly doubting the list now. Unlike a certain bomber lol i won't go into hiding if what i say doesn't happen i will hold up my hands and happily say "yes i got it wrong."
However the source i'm keeping did say MGMGHD is defo coming but no date has been set yet.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Any chance of a list update to see if we still remain?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Does anybody know if MTV Christmas (formly MTV Classic) is coming back to Virgin i'm sure Digital Spy are not stupid enough not to check it out from a reliable source maybe its part of the new Viacom deal that Virgin have to show MTV Christmas first

With Al Jazeera English HD launching on Freeview before Christmas, does anyone know if Virgin are in talks to bring the channel to cable?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Only News 18 and the new BBC HD Channels has been confirmed by Virgin insiders as coming by 2014 on Virgin Media.

News 18 was set to launch on November 14th but was put back due to the Netfix updates and no new launch date has been given to Media Boy HQ yet.

---------- Post added at 12:41 ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 ----------

I have not seen anything about Al Jazeera English HD launching on Virgin Media.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I've not heard anything about Al Jazeera yet.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

That's a surprise ! feel like I'm in a team now !

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Taken from Dspy - sattelie coming soon section which is normally accurate.

According to epg on new BBC HD channels, all four channels start next Monday 25 th Nov.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

The Extra HD channels on Freeview streams are being rolled out across the UK over the next few months starting from 26th November 2013.

So I think the BBC will wait until December 10th (The date I was told by insiders) so that 50% of Freeview households will get them.

Freeview information thanks to a516digital.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

den reminds me of princess diana of CF world. "the peoples den". we'd be lost without him. and may i say what an honour to be on that list after all these years of not posting and lurking.

I hope sincerely its possible VM can bring in something to swap HD channels over SD channels like sky. is it possible on the tivo box? i sometimes forget to even watch the HD version of a channel.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I find that I only watch shows that are on the HD channels, I even watch Father Ted on a HD channel :-)

My first port of call is the HD section when I'm looking for something to watch.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Makes more sense this way i think.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

i always forget :(

number of times ive ended up watching SD versions of channels because 1) i can't tell the difference as its a nice picture 2) i just completely forget

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I think we'll see a HD swap maybe in 2nd-3rd quarter of 2014.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Bravo.

You cant see the difference with SD and HD Channels. Maybe with Sky you can.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Hope that appalling idea of ditching Sky Arts 2 to launch Bravo has been dumped....

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

be awesome if that happened mate

MB- yeah one reason i keep on VM. Plus id miss this thread!

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Would love a HD swap think I going to like BBC four in HD and the news too

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

l am here to serve the great and the good.:nworthy::nworthy::waving::waving:

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

or 3) the Mrs is too lazy to find the HD equivalent, even though i pay the extra £7

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yeah like that round here too.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I'd be surprized if anyone cant tell the difference between hd and sd right now just on the news 103 and 113 to my eyes easily a better pic on itvhd. Obv depends on your tv e.t.c

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

HD does make a difference but i'm not sure the comparison is noticeably marked on Virgin. I'd heard a while ago that Sky had dropped the bitrates on their SD channels to drive take up on their HD.

Not sure if this is true or not as I don't know many people with sky.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

True the difference does seem even bigger between some channels. Haven't studied things to much recently but sky sports hd an sd the sd is quite a lot worse British eurosport was really bad at one point though huge difference between there sd and hd channel. And the BBC used to have the least difference between hd and sd might all be a little different now though or not.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I can tell the difference between SD and HD very easily, we have a 50" Samsung LED.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Sky to show Ashes highlights free-to-air on Pick TV http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/...nnel-pick.html

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I have Sky's HD movie channels and they are poor quality for something that's supposed to be premium product, I can see bad MPEG artifacts on the channels particularly during dark scenes or very bright colours.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I stated this in a separate thread a while back and wholeheartedly agree that I believe especially with sky sports their "SD" was not the same "SD" rate as others and thus not "standard"

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Some of SD channels on Sky are appalling including their own branded ones.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

You either have terrible eyesight , a poorly calibrated or small TV set or have it connected via scart. :D The HD channels are massively better on both Sky and VM in my experience.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Agreed. Sky News HD has a far superior picture to its SD version

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

For once i agree with MM :p: the HD channels are vastly better quality than their SD versions on both VM and Sky.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

yes HD versions are so much better hope we get more HD channels soon

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I think we will , over the last year VM have really upped their game.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

JUST need about 1600 posts too top the list .................................................. .................................................. .............................

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

And now there price :(

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

And the others have not done the same thing?.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Others have done same bud those that haven't soon will.
You are allowed to cancel too if you don't agree with new prices , i'm going to drop tv and phone and keep broadband from vm , when my sky contract is up i'm dropping that too and going to stick with on demand services , my smart dns and zattoo.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Not by £5 -£6 they havent anyway they have given me a £5 credit so in theory it wont affect me,vm tv is sadly way overpriced now compared to sky.and now more catchup and more channels added to there sky go app they are light years ahead of vm

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

With Sky you have to pay a extra £15 for BT Sports whilst with Virgin its free on the XL TV pack whilst also Netflix is available to VM subscribers at a price after their 6 months free offer ends.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

If I was to switch to sky now from virgin It would cost the same a month and I would have to pay 214 quid up front and have crappy non-fibre broadband.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yes Sky increase prices too, the problem is VM customers get passed that one on top of the VM increases!

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yeah, and we pay more for sky movies and sports to start off with.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

No disrespect bud but you don't have to pay £15 for bt sports it's a choice personally I wouldnt and regards Netflix whilst it's great to have on TiVo it's available thru smart tv,ps3,Xbox,360 and wii just to name a few.just think apart from TiVo at the minute sky tv service is far better value for money if you get on a half price deal matey ;)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Great deal if you love sport but what about those customers with XL who have no interest whatsoever in BT Sport or sport in general.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I was thinking it was just me!

I've priced up an equivalent package on Sky after receiving a mailing from them on the same day as our virgin price increase letter arrive - good marketing!

Moving to Sky would cost us around £20 per month extra and would result in our broadband speed being reduced by around two thirds! And that with a supposed 25% discount for a year - after that the price differential became even worse.

Good to hear that some people are getting good deals either to stay or move - it seems that our package means that we aren't one of them! Either that or we are already on a good deal.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

The TV XL pack apart from the one missing channel SA which will arrive soon enough in the coming weeks combined which a far superior broadband offering and a STB with much superior functionality still make Virgin in my humble opinion the provider to be with and having BT Sports on top is a nice little bonus.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Your quite sure SA is coming, why is this do you know something I don't?

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Well Informed sources have known this for some time.:)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

100% sure? I hope your right.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Virgin tv are gone at end of my contract they're at it again making offers on my account and not honuring them they can stick their tv where the sun don't shine lol.
I'm waiting for ceo office to contact me hopefully they'll sort this out.
I agree with you the price hike is too much.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Virgin Media is getting expensive. Personally I'm waiting to see if any sweeteners in the way of new channels are offered when the next round of price rises happens.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

If you aren't happy you can now break your contract BECAUSE of the price hike.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I've not had the letter yet , keeping their broadband regardless otherwise i'll be stuck with poxy 5mbs adsl lol.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I guess that is Virgin's real strong point, but it is starting to lose that advantage to BT and the others (including Sky).

I, too, am waiting for the letter before I call and cancel - Sky is going to be £15 a month cheaper AND I can now get FTTC.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I'm on a 12 month half price offer with Sky atm for tv that doesn't run out until August 2014 so losing VMs tv is no biggie.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Afternoon all. anything interesting to tell me today as i'm quite bored in work.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

We haven't had the price rise letter yet however I am starting to price up Sky TV, the thing is, I'd have to keep VM broadband and I like my 120mb which is pretty pricey on its own!

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

I personally don't think VM is expensive, in my case, i guess it depends if you want all the sport/movies etc, at the end of the day Pay TV/Broadband is a choice, if you don't want to pay it, don't have it.

In my experience, VM is way less expensive than SKY and I was with them for 11 Years, it would take a lot to make me even consider moving back to them.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Agreed, my triple play deal has a good discount I will lose if I break it up and even if I moved all 3 to Sky or BT, FTTC or Infinity 2 right now, means I can only get 45MB download at my post code, versus 60MB from VM now and 100MB next year. Don't like price rises and this one is getting close to a decision point admitedly, but that would be to downgrade my package rather than move. I expect VM are gong to be busy on that point now and in the New Year which should tell them they are reaching the maximum tolerance level of households with other bill increases on the way like gas/electricity. While earnings growth lags behind inflation, budgets will come under pressure and TV/BB is not as importnt as heating say.

That's good to hear. However this is not the case for everyone. And you are right, people have the choice, pay it or don't. Stick with virgin or don't.

I won't be, unless they can beat the deal I will get moving to Sky. That is the great thing about choice. :)

My sister has just been offered a great deal from SKY to go back, Free unlimited Broadband and free Sky TV for a year!. (Not Moives/Sport), but still a fab offer, she just has to pay line rental.

I've been crying out for years for this and the last few pages of this thread are a prime example of it being needed.

We could do with a thread that only MB and maybe some select others can post to of rumours or fact so the likes of me who don't sit on here all the time don't have to sift through all the 'chat' to find out what may be going off.

It's a great forum and great people on here but my word half the threads don't stick to what they are labelled as.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Personally I like all the various chat that goes on in here. There can be some quite informative information, not necessarily of what is coming soon, but of what is also doing rounds (offers etc.) from other tv providers that you wouldn't necessarily know about.

I think VM offer pretty reasonable collections at a reasonable price and are in comparison to Sky on most of the basic bundles. The big difference comes if you have the Sky Premiums as with Sky they'll cost you £30 a month (+ £5.25 for HD) whereas VM have to charge £34.25 (plus £7.00 for HD) so a £4.25 (or £6.00 with HD) difference.

Price rise was going to come anyway and we've got a heck of a lot more than we had at the end of last year.....
