Perhaps they mean of the content they watch ;)

This provides further information in support of SonicMaster's observation that anyone subscribing to the new BT TV package will lose channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

We know that but it depends whether you watch them or not., most people watch a fraction of the channels they subscribe to on a regular basis.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

For those interested here is a breakdown of the BT channels https://www.rxtvlog.com/p/bt-tv-channel-list.html

Here is the price list for the new packages/addons. https://www.rxtvlog.com/2020/02/bt-r...v-finally.html

The channel packages you chose are flexible, however you are tied into a 24 month contract, which BT say will not rise during this period.

Sky History channel(s) will be added to the NowTV Entertainment package in April. Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries are also being added in March.

BT TV are running a special launch offer for customers which includes BT Superfast Fibre and the Entertainment Package for £37.99 per month

IMO you may be better off by buying a NowTV stick/box and searching for reduced passes which always seem to be readily available rather than paying full price via BT or SKY eg https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/th...d-now-tv-deals

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I agree unless having the ability to record these is important to you.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Quite. I rarely watch any channels listed under Classic Entertainment. The new ones are much better.

Re: HISTORY to become Sky HISTORY
 

DS Forum and Sky Media is reporting that History will become Sky History on April 7th.

April 7th look set to be an busy day for Sky as Sky Documentaries is set to launch on that date.

Is A+E and Sky set to close Crime + Investigation for Sky Documentaries to launch???

With all C&I shows moving to Sky Crime!

Sky Nature can easy use E! (with shows moving to Lifetime) or Sky Two.

Re: HISTORY to become Sky HISTORY
 

Will Sky history become a history channel again or remain the place of ice truckers, pawn stars etc

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I wonder if we will loose Love Nature and possibly gain Sky Nature as per this info from Sky Media
https://www.skymedia.co.uk/opportuni...ature-channel/

'Sky have also signed up to be the exclusive UK broadcaster for Love Nature content, on linear TV and available on demand'

Though it does state 'With the launch of Sky Nature, Sky customers will have unrivalled access to'

We won't know till closer to the time it seems.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

They mentioned the LoveNature content deal before, but I don't recall the word exclusive. That's very interesting.

That pretty much guarantees Sky Nature replacing LoveNature channel on VM.

Thanks for that ScottishSteve.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

My concern here is the words 'Sky customers' which may mean we might not be getting the channel at this time.

Though they do mention Sky customers more as it is their own network to be fair. We will just have to wait and see if any tests pop up next month

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Well VM never had On-Demand access to LoveFilm content, and the context seems to be talking about that. And they don't use use the word "exclusive" in the same sentence as "Sky customers", just "unparalleled".

The saddest bit is that LoveNature doesn't have adverts, except for it's own shows, and this is bound to end with any rebranding.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Let see if Forum Box start reporting of them testing or we will need to wait until March 24th to see the TiVo listings for April 7th or even wait until March 31st for Radio Times (or any other TV listings books) to come out.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

But the announcement does say including 'linear TV and on demand'
