Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I looked on my Sky+HD box epg and there are quite a few HD shows on these and there are also quite a lot of movies in HD.

---------- Post added at 22:16 ---------- Previous post was at 22:12 ----------

This is a handy list for whats on Sky and what could be coming soon to VM.

I don't deal in rumours.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Does anyone know why the UKTV HD channels are not available on Virgin?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Trying to get information out of him and DF is very hard surely they can tell us whats coming soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

You do realise that Hugh is not a Virginmedia employee.

We can only tell you information that is in the public domain as a lot of what you want to know is business sensitive, and we are not going to tell you that kind of information as we would lose our jobs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The latest info I saw from an web site says ''March''.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Don't know really, I have emailed UKTV who susbsequently told me to email VM who subsequently just said they are always reviewing their offer.

Maybe they will join as of course VM own 50% of UKTV. Perhaps UKTV want too much money for them or perhaps they are considered not popular enough.

The short answer I suppose is we don't know.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Ginx TV update:

Sarah (An Ginx TV worker) posted ''We're working towards launching at end of March.''

Latest info on Ginx TV here - http://www.ginx.tv/forums/get-involv...when-and-where

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I could lose my job if i posted information that was deemed business sensitive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Yes, but it would stop people whining at you on here (at least for a day or so)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

How would Virgin find out who you are ?

Unless you have posted you name on here

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Er no it isn't. January February and March are the first quarter. Ok there maybe no launches in March but is not definite yet.............

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

that's ok then.... :shocked:

---------- Post added at 12:18 ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 ----------

They know who I am.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Like everyone I would have loved to know what is happening on the channel front but equally it's is probably unfair for us to badger long standing staff who have also been members of this forum for a while to leak info, I doubt it would be rocket science to establish who at least some of the staff are as they post of the official VM forums too.

Maybe contact the CEO's or retention departments. The CEO's office were pretty candid with me about Sky Arts HD probably not appearing for a while although that was contradicted by retentions who said it is launching soon as is Sky Classics HD.

You decide what's right, I went with the CEO's office personally but of course I could be totally wrong.

Even I am not ALWAYS right he he.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Excellent points.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Indeed....sod your Job DF, keeping us happy is far more inportant :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Thanks for this. I just find it strange that they own 50% of UKTV yet they don't have all the channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

UKTV's board is totally seperate though and is independant of Virgin Media and the BBC.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

any news on comedy central Extra HD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

eh? that launched last year

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I am aware of this, and was about to include it in my post, but for the sake of simplicity decided not to. In hindsight it's probably an important point!

Still, I would have thought negotiations would be significantly easier with the connection there is and we would see the full portfolio of channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

BBC confrim BBC Radio 7 rebrand date.

On the BBC Radio 7 via the red button I found that BBC Radio 7 will change it name to BBC Radio 4 Extra on April 2nd.

BBC Radio 7 broadcasts on Virgin Channel 910.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Ment comedy central extra Hd

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Is that available anywhere else?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Comedy Central do not have an HD Channel for their ''Comedy Central Extra'' channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Might be a while then

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

ok thanks

=== Own by Newco ===
Sky News HD

I think that 'Newco' is just an expression used by lawyers etc when a proposed company restructuring involves transferring part of a business to a new entity, rather than a real company. Presumably at this stage nobody actually knows who or what will be taking over Sky News when (or if) the News International deal goes through.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

[QUOTE=Gunslinger;35189133]That is indeed correct, it's a term I see used often in work.

However in this case I understand that the new listed company name actually will be called 'NewCo'

Perhaps it is a nod to News Corporation.

Thread is about channels coming to Virgin not about Rupert Murdoch and his love child.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I wish we could have a general thread for such matters and return this to the topic.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

But apart from TIVO what is coming soon , someone enlighten me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Well enlighten us with what you know.

Enthrall us with your acumen!

We all know about the Premier Sports situation though which has been flogged to death.

Basically no one knows anything hence the waffle.

Look at March10 announcements regarding new channels were made , so maybe this month.

Seriously though do you know anything that's coming soon to contribute to the discussion.

Any news would be appreciated.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Premier Sports not being on Virgin was mentioned in The Guardian yesterday... Does that count as news?

I read something about it on the Picturebox site just recently.

Sadly though it is currently a stand alone service, you cannot access it for free if you subscribe to the Picturebox OD service from any provider, you have to pay again.

Sony Entertainment Television UK launches on Sky on April 7, as VM already carries SET Asia maybe it will appear?

It's only SD though.

http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2011/...ch-uk-channel/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Info on Broadband TV news and Digital Spy web sites says Sony Entertainment TV will only launch on $ky on April 7th.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The fact that its not launching on Virgin Media from launch doesnt surprise me anymore as I know Virgin Media dont want to feel pressured in launching new channels on days out of their control.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I know we all often say this but the content dosen't look that exciting anyway but it is aimed at a female audience which is probably why I think that.

Chuck is rerunning the 1st series on channel 5* beginning this week as most will be aware. Series 3 is showing on Sky-LivLove, although not sure what this channel is all about as it's not listed in any of news agent TV guides, will it disappear perhap somebody enlighten me? But good news the latest series of Chuck is showing on a TV channel VM punters have access to! I was afraid it may have become a sky exclusive?

It hasnt got Nat Geo Wild HD as only on Sky or Sky Arts 1 and 2 HD , Disney XD HD ,

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

MGM HD and Disney Channel HD also show as not "only on Sky"

also LUXE HD is the same?

I wonder when that page was last edited?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I know Nat Geo Wild HD and Disney Cinemagic HD are available on cable in Ireland, MGM is too but only in SD although I think that channel list page is for British customers.

Some aspects of the site dosen't seem that upto date, lazy Sky!

Luxe (Luxury Life as it's now known) is a FTA non subscription channel so maybe that's why it isn't listed.

Unfortunately the page gives a last modified date and time of when you visit but the file name of the image that makes up the list of channels is "HDLogosTable_Feb2011.gif_312094639.gif" so looks as if the page was updated fairly recently.

Just hope that its available on TIVO in the same timescale

No, TiVo is likely to be July/August for launch for Sky Red Button

Media Boy (or anyone else who knows a lot from Sky Sports)

Would you please give me a heads upas soon as Sky Sports announce they are going to show Tough Enough or not it looks great and much better than NXT.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

we all do matey,rumours are that we may see some this month.But its just rumours?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Keep an eye on this link (Sky Sports 3 listing) - http://data.skyprogrammeinformation....396&chan=SPG3#

OR Keep an eye on this link (Sky1 HD listing) - http://data.skyprogrammeinformation....SKD1&week=396#

But at time of posting WWE Tough Enough was not in any listing for Sky1 OR Sky Sports 3 only WWE NXT was.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

ok many thanks M.B :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Thats a bit disappointing for one would have expected Tivo to be done at the same time as other users, what is their reason for this.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It had been mentioned before but as TiVo has never had any red button stuff it needs to be coded from scratch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

ITV to broadcast Scotland vs Brazil later this month.

Brazil vs Scotland from the Emirates stadium will be shown LIVE on ITV and ITV HD on Sunday the 27th of March ko time is set at 14:00.

Is that ITV1 HD? all you have out is ITV HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

No RUK being shown I see each weekday morning this week (for the Festival), but available on SKY.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I am going, come on Brazil ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I no longer have ESPN on demand. The programme from yesterday has been moved into the ESPN Classic folder.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

same : ( w yorks

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The only info from the web (That I have seen) says ITV1 HD. I not know if STV will show it LIVE but viewers in Scotland and Ireland can watch it on Channel 853 (Not in HD).

Unknown channel on air...testing??
 

To get to the beginning of the EPG quickly and easily I always press channel 0.

This is usually an advert for a PPV event or the PPV slate.

Tonight it is an unknown channel showing "My Ex Girlfriends" on each and every hour. The screen is black with four white dashes at the top left hand side.

I wondered, going by the title, if it was an adult channel. After checking with all the other subscription and pay per night adult services, nothing matched what was being shown. Is this a new channel testing? :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

You have to pay 20 quid a month to suscribe to it l am afraid, l am not paying that, we used to get it for nothing when Setanta was going.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I have read posts on DS that would suggest it is being broadcast on the whole ITV Network, and that STV wll employ their own commentary team.

Should be good.

Four new channels & unknown channel developments.
 

Further developments tonight:

* The total number of channels has changed on the EPG and we now have four extra.

There looks to be two new adult channels now on the EPG. One is "My ex Girlfriends" (that I saw testing last night) and the other something to do with swingers.

I think the other two are Sky film channels. Didn't Sky open a new classic channel shortly after the deal? It looks like that's on VM now and Sky Indie may be new too.

Anybody? (I don't subscribe to films).

* At about 2.15am I went to channel 0 and the EPG listings were for a childrens channel. Nothing matched any childrens channels on the VM EPG.

* Listings included 2.00am kat v kid, 2.20am Pokeman, 2.45 Pokeman and 3.10am Galaktic Football. The listings lasted well into tomorrow evening. Anybody know what channel these are on?

* When tuned to channel 0, there is no channel number showing at the front of the box.

* If one tries to set a reminder you get the standard PPV message about no reminder needing to be set as this is automatically done when the event was bought.

* If one tries to set record on one of these programmes, it goes red for a few seconds, before returning to normal.

* The white lines in the top left hand corner only appear when the mini guide is showing, otherwise it's just a black screen.

* I checked again at about 3.25 and the normal PPV slate was being broadcast.

I'm beginning to wonder if these tests are only done from, say, 2 to 3am??
