Well l have been doing the lottery for 15 years and have never won anything decent.:)

If you own a Monet why bother with the lottery? :)

Just to let everyone know - it was an error and has now been removed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

What a surprise!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Is there such a thing as quality control Ben?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

VM+quality control=nonexistant...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The advert came from Universal - unfortunately it looks like the 'HD' bit of the logo wasn't picked up either by Universal themselves or when it was added to the On Demand promo channel at VM

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Could it not be that Universal are to start adding catchup content onto the VM OD service as an advert on the Sky catchup website indicated this was to be added to Skys OD catchup.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Can't really speculate on something that hasn't been announced - saying that I wouldn't expect a promo to advertise something until it either available or has a confirmed launch.

Got an easy night tonight coming.;)

As of 13.40 on June 5th:

My insider has confirmed to me that no new channels are set launch on Virgin Media anytime soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

NetFlix at a discount from VM would interest me greatly... :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Is he?

What about Universal HD and E! HD???

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Probably delayed over EPG position or something.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

l am sure they will arrive when VM are good and ready.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

In my opinion Maybe VM are saving all the channel additions as a softener for not getting BT Sport in August...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Not a bad assumption

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Just one of many assumptions from the great and the good on CF that could be true or false.:D

I know, been doing my head in................:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I do pay the VIP price and you're right - all the wee amounts add up. It's already difficult trying to justify to myself to pay almost £1,500 per year in TV, Broadband and Phone.

VM need to give us more choice and flexibility in what we can have and what we want to pay for. Strangely, it feels like the model of channel packages has taken a step backward for the consumer. I prefered the old Sky options where you would pick and choose channel bundles.

We need complete flexibility with channels, on demand, pay per view and subscribed online streaming.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I agree about lack of flexibility...it does seem backward for customers..but good for the companies

So not surprised

Or perhaps our crystal ball expert can reveal a secret or two to us as well.;):D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm sensing a presence in the room with me. Has anyone recently lost an uncle or older family member whose name starts with a P? He's telling me footballs not going very big for free. It's a bit of a cryptic message but I assume he means BT sports is not going in the XL package. Now my wifes in the room with me, shaking her head telling me to get away from the computer. This is getting spooky :p:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Confirmed: Virgin was 'moving stuff about' on Monday Night.

You may have seen the following over on DS Forum:

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...&postcount=787

An Virgin Media insider has tonight reveal that Virgin was 'moving stuff about' on Monday Night.

I do not know how many did move but I can confirmed that HISTORY has now moved to an new broadcasting stream*.

*I only found that out due to having to reboot my V Box. It work fine but you need to reboot every time Virgin remove an channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

What like staplers or their chair?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

This really annoys me about VM, they are always moving channels around, why don't they leave them alone.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

It's not moving EPG numbers, it's channels streams.

Which makes me think they may start using MPEG-4 streams for TiVO users soon, especially with the news of them having a new contractor who are going to manage MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 streams at Headends.

For most people that means recordings will take up less space!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

:banghead:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

2 new channels have launched.

Both of them BBC red button channels of which one is the HD variant. They have launched on 991 & 994(HD).

The HD channel just has a coming soon slate up whereas the SD is broadcasting some sort of wildlife programme.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I would hazard a guess at most likely preparation for the upcoming multi-streams for Glastonbury and Wimbledon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes that's my thinking too Chris.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm guessing that's the Springwatch feed?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Nothing wrong with people using different usernames MM.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

That should mean people can record those channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Virgin in talks for Lovefilm and Netflix?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-0...-nears-1-.html

"Liberty Global doesn’t see Virgin Media as a “turnaround” story and wants to “build scale” rather than change, Chief Executive Officer Mike Fries said last month. It doesn’t plan to compete over sports rights or production, and it’s in talks to add streaming services like Netflix Inc. (NFLX) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)’s Lovefilm to the platform, as more TV viewers sign up to the paid services, which are mostly archives of TV and film.

“The content disadvantage Virgin has is they don’t even really make a lot of money now by reselling content from others,” said Stuart Gordon, a media analyst at Berenberg Bank in London. “But they are competing very happily as being the fiber option in the U.K.”

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I thought VM had more than one red button stream available to them though? I don't understand why the red button has only just been put on the EPG though considering TiVo users have had to use web streams instead for a while

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Virgin Media trials MPEG-DASH

http://www.iptv-news.com/2013/06/vir...als-mpeg-dash/

"UK cableco Virgin Media has started trialling Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) technology to enable the delivery of more efficient and cost-effective high-quality broadcasts to TVs, PCs, tablets, smartphones, set-top boxes, and other IP-connected devices."

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Hm very interesting.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes result :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes both of them would be nice.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

All platforms barring the CRB are now down to one red button stream.

So I'd expect the BBC are doing the extra Summer content in the same way as the Olympics i.e. temp channels rather than hidden red button streams.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

This I did not know, kind of makes connected red button seem more appealing haha

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

More than likely this is in prep for Wimbledon. At least it makes the streams recordable on Virgin's PVR's.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes it was very annoying to a number of people who wanted to record NFL Monday night football on red button last season.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Fingers crossed this happens.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes.

---------- Post added at 15:45 ---------- Previous post was at 15:37 ----------

Was added by 1am last night.

Channel 991 is broadcasting the same steam as Freeview Channel 301.
Channel 994 is broadcasting the same steam as Freeview Channel 303 (I think).

I think the following may happen:

A) An Extra Red Button steam will be added to Channel 992 soon.
B) As the HD Red Button Channel is just for this summer maybe BBC HD will relaunch later this year,

Why did Virgin put BBC Red Button on Channels 991 to 994 for when Channels 183 to 186 is free?

Do that mean that more channels from Viacom will launch on Virgin before the end of Summer???

THIS POST IS NOT THE VIEWS OF VIRGIN MEDIA IN ANYWAY.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

This does look likely... :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm guessing because they are designed to be accessed through the Red Button, rather than channels in their own right - so really it doesn't matter where they go and VM would prefer they are out the way of anything else

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Jesus, Virgin really are starting to do things, top show ol' boy.

can you see sky changing there policy on withholding channels cause I cant they not gonna change it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

That is true

you should say, "coming soon", as that can mean anything

:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

We live in interesting times my friend... :beer:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm very confident we will see all channels on all platforms eventually.

It's not about seeing things as they are, but think ahead and how the lay of the land will change dramatically.

If there are alternative ways to look at making more money, Sky will do it. Even they will eventually realise when they've dried up the new subs market for exclusive channels.

Sky is in the market of selling TV channels (and maybe boxes?) and they will do whatever they can do that to as many people as possible - even if that means across different platforms.
