My TiVo and V6 don't stretch the picture :confused:
Aspect Correction set to 'Panel' for a widescreen tv - and correct left/right borders for 4:3 programming.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Most HD channels showing older 4:3 content show it as is, with black bars either side as part of the broadcast.

SD channels don't do this so most Tv's set to auto or 16:9 wo hold default to zooming in.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

You have set yours correctly. But 'Panel' isn't the default.

Hope they sort out the daft placement of HISTORY HD (move to 272) and Crime + Investigation (move to 223).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I imagine that VM will want/need to make some technical changes first, which will take time. They will want to reconfigure their network so as not to be running on full capacity and will need to install a line feed. Usually, the SD channels are taken from satellite, with the HD feeds being line fed for extra quality.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Look like all channels on TSid 36 is moving soon.

It was broadcasting up until Friday.

True Entertainment.
Your TV.
Lifetime.
Discovery Turbo.
Lifetime +1.
Love Nature.
Together.
More 4 +1.

Note they was all on UKTV Channel numbers.

Only ZooMoo HD is broadcasting on the stream right now on EPG Channel 295 letting viewers know that ZooMoo has moved to channel 739.

Also Virgin need to move Premier Sports 2 to an new stream as it an only channel broadcasting on TSid 37.

We have been using http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.ph...ve=209&lang=en for this post.

This is for discussing channels coming soon to VM
There is a thread to talk about price rises on VM here

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

What is the significance of these TSid channel moves for VM viewers, MB?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Nothing I'd imagine. Background stuff that won't affect channel numbers or anything a customer would care about.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Premier Sports 2 is broadcasting twice in my area.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Some viewers think Virgin Media have no room to launch any new channels but they have two TSid channels free after the UKTV Channels carry on. They can use one of the two TSid Stream for GOLD HD if Virgin Media wanted to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Its not really as simple as that though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Virgin may cant even remove them anyway until after November 12th due to the "You have three months to watch your shows your have tape on Your TV.".

You did have three months for all the UKTV shows when they was axe on July 22nd.

Anyhow as I posted for years I do not work for Virgin Media so I was just posting my own views.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Now now, you can’t possibly imply that an HFC network delivering both broadband and tv is more complex than the understanding of “sources”.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Do we really NEED any more "new" channels though with the same mind dumbing reality nonsense and the amount of repeats of NCIS on half a dozen different channels?
Surely VM should now be looking to invest in the future and boost its high quality streaming/on-demand content, with both 3rd party apps and its own exclusive rights offerings.
Let Sky lead the way with their 500 channels of repeats and drivel, and VM be the UK "go to" main provider option for streaming and on-demand content to compliment its Netflix offering.
Surely this is the future?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I agree, with the latest new additions, Virgin Media now has every significant TV channel available in the UK except for MTV Classic, Sky Atlantic and AMC.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Im a little confused what cant they remove until after November 12th? As you have three months to........?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

The theory being because when channels leave recordings expire after 3 months.

That ignores (but that’s never stopped anyone speculating before) the fact nobody knows how Virgin set expiration dates on recordings, and the fact the channels haven’t genuinely left.

When a channel moves EPG number the recordings aren’t lost. As far as my V6 goes the extra channels pointed to the same stream as the original (verified by the diagnostics menu while recording).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

and Eleven Sports 1 & 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Totally agree with you on that comment, way too many ppl willing to watch utter dross.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I only know of space left for one HD channel on TSID 30, where is the other one :confused:

VM will have to reconfigure their network before too long for when (If?) Freesports HD starts. As SP said, the old Pace SD boxes should be out of service in a couple of weeks.

This will allow them to complete the change to 256-QAM from 64-QAM on the streams used for VM download services, which will free up more space on the system.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

It’s been pointed out that one TSID only contains Premier Sports 2, which is being duplicated elsewhere. Another holds only a placeholder for ZooMoo HD moving. Plenty of space, as you have been informed now on numerous occasions.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

No, at present there isn't, as you've been told on plenty of occasions.

This must be getting really boring for everyone on here now. Shall we see if SP can let us know once and for all (though I respect the fact that he may not be able to discuss such matters for reasons of commercial confidentiality).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Media Boy has someone who can see the same data I can in my area. I fail to see why you persist with this nonsense, it’s not doing you any favours reputationally on this forum.

Anyone with a DVB-C card (or compatible TV) can confirm my findings on the Knowsley platform. They will also find an off EPG version of Premier Sports 2 broadcasting unencrypted.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

People can confirm if their area has Premier Sports 2 on the same frequency as 4Music by setting recordings and entering the diagnostic menu.

In my area it isn’t, it’s on it’s own. The off EPG version is on the same frequency as ITV3 (standard definition).

So I’d be grateful for people to record 3 programmes at the same time from these channels and report back the frequency in the diagnostic menu of their TiVo or V6. You can tell which is which because the EPG number is in the list below the tuner.

If all three are on different frequencies scan the one ITV3 is on with a DVB-C compatible TV. You will find a further Premier Sports 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

No, it's not, it's a complete red herring because the people posting this stuff completely fail to take into account what VM are planning to do. The intention of VM to give us some UHD channels later this year totally undermines the argument being put forward that Virgin is running out of capacity.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I already have done.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Morning all- happy friday to us all and apologies to the weekend workers out there. This eleven sports is awful Lots of games on tonight and you can watch some of them on facebook. What? Why do i want to watch football on my computer or tablet.

They claim to be speaking to VM but i doubt any deal will be done and it wont be coming soon

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Afternoon Vince as personally l would be surprised if any deal is forthcoming now but alas l do have a track record of being more wrong then l am right.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Will it allow it to be sent to a smart TV. As you can with Netflix etc ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Under the current configuration, at this moment in time, how many more HD channels can VM fit onto the system?

I am aware that VM will be able to create more space by reconfiguring the system going forward, so this doesn't mean that this figure is it forevermore.

Also, will TSID 36 & 37 be brought back into use for HD (or SD) channels? If so, where will VM place any test channels that are required?

---------- Post added at 14:25 ---------- Previous post was at 14:19 ----------

The capacity available next year will not necessarily be the same amount of capacity available right now, even with exactly the same infrastructure. In fact, it's unlikely to be so because VM can do various things to increase it.

I am talking about the situation today as it stands

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Richard would you mind reporting the frequencies for Premier Sports 2, 4Music and ITV3 (SD) by setting up recordings and accessing the diagnostic menu of your set top box?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

In addition to the plentiful amount of space already identified by forum members the BT Sport 4K frequency has space for three HD channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I watched Eleven sports on facebook last night as I have a family connection to Valladolid, on average there was only just over 300 people watching during the whole game.
I cannot see the suites at La Liga being very impressed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

No surprise as whoever made that decision quite clearly has not got a clue.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Its really going to damage the brand of la liga in the UK. La liga was a really popular league here. Kids buying shirts with Messi on the back. People randomly supporting a spanish team to watch over the weekend like sevilla or villareal.

Where can people really watch these games now? Most people have sky sports over BT Sports. Where will the kids watch the teams now? Learn about the different clubs and the different players? Be motivated to take a game in on a spanish holiday. Buy merchandise etc.

Basically la liga have destroyed their brand awareness with the younger generation which will have a noticeable impact in the next few years. Theyve gone for quick money from eleven sports rather than the smaller amount which in turn would make them more money with brand awareness in the longer run.

It was a horrible decision and one i hope really bites them in the coming years

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.ph...&sec=0&lang=en

Screen grab of the duplicate Premier Sports 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Sports is big business and they are run by people who only think of how much money they can generate. They dont give a toss about the fans. We are simply punters to them ..to be milked until we are dry.

I am sure La Liga got great exposure through Sky Sports. (Would be even greater on a free to air channel of course!). But no they sign the rights over to a small player like Eleven Sports purely down to dosh. They dont care if you cant watch it in HD on your big screen tv. Its so short sighted.

The NHL did the same things few years ago when it signed over the rights to Premier Sports. Cut it's exposure overnight but i dont think they were bothered.
The thing is as so few people in the UK can watch (ok I accept with the arrival of FreeSports there is limited access to more people now)

The NFL, NBA and even MLB are gaining popularity in the UK with games being scheduled over here. BT and Sky show plenty of games. The NHL is very much the poor relation these days. The NHL big wigs have only themselves to blame.

I subscribe to MLB. TV (which is terrific btw) I can watch games in HD quality on my TV. But this season each week they show a game exclusively on Facebook. The game is blacked out on MLB.Tv so you can only watch it on your phone or tablet unless you have a device that lets you stream it on telly.

Yes the facebook coverage is free and opens coverage up to more people

Again no thought for the fans.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I used to love watching Hockey night in Canada with Don Cherry on ESPN then as you say the idiot at the top the NHL ruined everything.
I am a big fan of American Sports especially NFL and I am concerned as Sky's exclusive rights come to an end next summer. I am just hoping the NFL understand their audience in the UK and don't make the same mistake as La Liga and Serie A.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I agree Bear. I shall watching what the NFL does closely. They have (with the help of Sky mainly but also other likes of C4 and the BBC) built up the fanbase to the point London hosts 3 or 4 regular season games a season and there is talk that a London team could exist in the future.

The NFL has lead the way for American Sports in the UK which has been followed by the NBA and now even baseball with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees coming to London in 2019.

What happens if someone like Eleven Sports wins the rights. If the product is not accessible to that many all that they have worked for would be lost.

The days of sports on free to air channels is ever dwindling as £££££ rules. Simply the way it is.

Monopolies are usually seen as bad things. But since the likes of BT Sports and then Premier Sports and now streaming services like Eleven Sports now rival Sky Sports it has been bad news for consumers. The cost of all these different services is simply prohibitive to most.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I watched a few of the NFL games in London....a franchise just isn't viable for all the reasons that people have mentioned over the years. It just can't happen.

I think that it is going the other way btw...the days of sports costing a premium rate are dwindling and more and more is available in unique setting format. (Apps etc).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I'd love to hear your reasons why but its probably not on topic! I thought London would be a good place for a team purely to tap into the European market. The only problem would be the airplane journey times but apparently a way around it would be for the london based team to play two home games in a row and the away time having a bye the following week.

But you're right about the cost of sports sky rocketing. I remember then sky sports was the place to watch EVERYTHING and then Ofcom said it was bad for the customer so forced us all to pay for Setanta etc. One of the most stupidest decisions ever.

I think we're heading to a change though. The 3pm tv ban is likely to be axed soon as money talks. A season ticket to watch your club on tv is likely to launch and then its anyone's guess what happens but i'd imagine it'll become a case of "the richer teams get richer" and the premier league ceases to offer any competition

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

There were a lot of complaints about the quality of their first broadcast too, which won't have helped them.

As long as they are getting the money from the highest bidder for the rights, I doubt that they would care. Sport in general seems to be all about the money today, with no consideration for the fans.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Oh Setanta sports....what a nightmare.

In regards to the London franchise I am not sure but we may be able to start another thread on it / not sure.

The franchises will have to cave on content though - TV's now are all app enabled so it is so easy to get something like the ESPN player app and watch every CF game that you want instead of using BT sport - it costs round the same anyway.

It is just that now BT's stupidity on programing will go, the issues of something running over is no longer an issue and you can also watch on the go / on a hand held device etc.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Can we possibly keep this on topic? I wouldn't like my facts about the Virgin HFC network to get lost in a discussion about Spanish football which, given the distribution of Sky Sports subscribers between Sky/Virgin, will affect a very tiny number of people likely to read the thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

And I can remember when Sky Sports was free! It was then on offer for £2.99 a month for six months I think, before going up to £5.99.

This was the same price for pubs too in those days...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

TSID 36 is running quite light, maxing at 30 Mb/sec out of a capacity of 51 in the DVB spec. Easily get a couple of HD channels in there, over and above the space already identified.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I believe it is a reference to recordings already on the box, which you no longer have a sub for - is this actually the case? I would like to know as I don't want to be left with Premier Sports recordings I cannot watch

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

You'll be able to watch Premier Sports recordings indefinitely.

For channels that have been removed from the VM network, recordings remain accessible for three months.

It is only recordings from the Sky-owned channels that you can't watch after unsubscribing.

That if these trends continue Virgin Media will cease broadcasting television on 19th January 2019.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Nothing new in today’s scan except the HD version of the Box Office (named ITV PPV HD in the NAT, but it has been used for Sky events) has disappeared. Not unusual when the event (Summerslam) isn’t in HD on Virgin. I’m sure it’ll be back for GGG v Canelo.

It’s almost as if Virgin can turn on (and off) broadcasts on their network with impunity. The wonders of technology.

iFollow isn't on VM but is a separate streaming service

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

The article says iFollow from the EFL will be on VM but they may have got confused. The Sky Sports offering is a separate offering of fewer matches and apparently uses fewer cameras.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

If you read the article carefully at no point does it say that service will be on VM.

The games will through Sky.

The EFL website states “Sky Sports will have the right to stream the same Championship fixtures to subscribers across their interactive and digital services.”

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

The BroadbandTVNews article does say that iFollow will be on VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

It doesn’t. I’m not being deliberately a argumentative but the paragraph:

“The matches, which are also being carried on Sky Sports Red Button service and Virgin Media, are being offered by iFollow at a cost of £10 per match.”

The games are on Sky and Virgin Media, but it doesn’t say the delivery method is via iFollow.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Have to agree with jfman - it doesn't say that iFollow will be on VM.

The matches are on Sky Sports Red Button, VirginMedia and iFollow. Three different services.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Sorry, my mistake, I misread it and thanks for pointing this out. The Guardian has a bit more on the service. https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2018...k-efl-matches/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

They’ve moved some static channels - like Netflix and YouTube onto the BT Sport 4K frequency. They’ve also cleared one frequency of any broadcasts.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

So what does all this actually mean to the layman?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Making way for another UHD channel?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Well a single free frequency could hold 6 HD channels, or get reallocated to broadband! So at this stage it’s too early to say what they will do with it.

It’s more efficient, but not the only way, to broadcast an entire frequency with one type of channel.

A single frequency free would allow them to temporarily duplicate channels if they were intending to create more capacity on 64 QAM frequencies by switching to 256 QAM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Ok, thanks for the explanation...…..:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

jj20x is over on DS giving it the usual playground line “I know something you don’t know”.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Does this mean further compression?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Yes, it’s already been implemented for that frequency (the top of the light blue line that was relatively flat is now variable and lower, indicating space being created).

---------- Post added at 22:23 ---------- Previous post was at 22:20 ----------

Interestingly, our friends in Germany compress 8 HD channels in some cases:

http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.ph...ve=207&lang=en

They also put paid to the myth you can’t mix HD and SD channels, with 3xHD/5xSD mixed in some cases.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

No doubt. The same method freeview used to keep adding channels with freeview's severely limited capacity. The majority of viewers won't even notice, they happily watch heavily compressed blurry vision on freeview. Sadly, compression artefacts will become more obvious to the more discerning viewer.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Does anyone know if the hardware used by Virgin is significantly more advanced than Sky/the majority of channels on the Astra 2 platform? Like for like Virgin seem to have lower bitrates in most cases and my personal experience isn’t that I find the quality lower. Although some third parties used fixes bitrate on satellite.

Is the kit used in 2017 for MPEG4 much more efficient than 5/10 years ago?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I wonder if it is because the virgin stb upscales the picture better than the sky boxes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

7 HD channels eh? I wonder what these could be. I assume one will be Gold?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Sky Atlantic HD? lol

Maybe some of the football channels, MUTV HD?

Not sure what other ones we are missing in all honesty. Most of the channels I watch have the HD variant already.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I know i'm quite confused its that much unless its purely to test for potential channels far in the future and the ability for the system to handle them?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Right now it’ll be testing the system. There’s no real need for the space at present- there’s plenty of space elsewhere. It could allow them to consolidate the existing HD channels into less frequencies with no perceptible difference in quality to the end users.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
