Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Aston villa aren't that big tbf but i'm biased being a Wolves fan lol.
On the plus side SKY constantly showing villa means our matches won't get moved around so less pain in the backside getting to and from matches.

AMC is not going to be on VM anytime soon and we suspect BTsports will not be in the XL pack either when next deal comes around.

Funny i remember posting about bt sports awhile back and was laughed at.

16 new services have been added to the SDT according to recent scan data, with vague service names such as Test V1. All parked in the double digit graveyard section of the EPG.

At the time of the scan, none of these had been added to the NIT in ex-Telewest / ex C&W regions. They were all marked as hidden, and flagged as "Entertainment". So, something is happening, no real clues as to what it might be...

@VirginMediaCorp PR failed to answer my email but rumours abound that they’re going to stop giving BT Sport away for free in their XL pack.

I suspect the rumours are out there because the existing deal runs out next summer.

VM never answer questions about deals that have not been fully wrapped up contractually, so I don't read any significance whatsoever about their failure to answer questions about it.

Could any of these be new apps opposed to new channels?

I think he means if BT Sport disappears, which hasn't happened yet!

They are all on TSID 44, which generally carries pop-up SD channels, such as the seasonal BBC RB channels. Other than that, TSID 44 is the home to apps linked to the EPG, such as You Tube, Vevo, Netflix, Worldbox etc. That's why I used the term "services" rather than "channels".

There wasn't enough information in the scan to make a guess at what they could be. I'm pretty sure that forum members will be gazing into their crystal balls and should come up with some interesting theories. ;)
