Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

ahhhhh k i see


soz

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I'm guessing they will be barker channels showing what's on correct ben?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Yes

They will be like before LIVING HD launch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

will we all get these place placeholders tomorrow or just those who have been upgraded....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Hope they have the decency to just show them on upgraded areas,It bad enough without rubbing are noses in it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I'd have thought it would be better to show them in all areas with a note to inform people about the upgrades.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Digital Spy says God Channel will replaces God Europe on Virgin Channel 279 on April 1st.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I thought it was GOD Europe already...?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

it is already god europe and it will become god channel ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

god awful!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Must be divine intervention.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Great news for a atheist, sorry about the spelling ?:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

ha ha :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

for equality shouldnt we get a "satan channel" ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I thought Murdoch already had more than one channel:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Don't see whats wrong with the god channel personally, people are allowed to watch what they want and it's no better or worse than some of the stuff on Virgin so leave it be.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Virgin wouldn't allow channels which promoted racism, sexism, or homophobia, but they do allow a so called 'god' channel, which does all of the above.

Many people find religion massively offensive for a huge list of reasons. Religion is just plain nasty and christianity is one of the worst. Personally I'd love to delete it from my V+ forever. (followed by all the shopping channels and 'Living')

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Should have mentioned that I was being sarcastic.

Someone is bound to enjoy this channel tho

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

What?????????????????????????????

And miss Criminal Minds? :erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Place holder for ITV HD only in none NGTV areas. They are not rubbing our noses in it seems.
Sorry forgot the coma. We have the place holder for ITV HD, but not for the others.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I thought non NGTV also got ITV HD, just the others we will miss out on (come on Hersham - hurry up!).

edit - thats good timing - Hersham appears to have gone today - BBC multi screen is here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Sci Fi HD is now testing off the Virgin EPG ahead of it launch on April 1st in NGTV only areas. (Info from Wikipedia)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

SciFi HD wasnt testing this morning when i checked the others were though, only mention of ScFi HD i found was in the test for E4 HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

nothing on any of them except the ITV placeholder.

all the others are on the EPG but displaying nothing other than a ring VM if and a error message. on NGTV as well here in Teesside.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

in wearside E4HD had a box pop up saying not avilable but pressing ok and leaving it a few secs had a place holder for the other HD channels coming

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Haringey London must cover a lot of people so surely it must be changed over to NGTV soon.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

ITV has still to give it the go-ahead - they are still thinking about it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Any futher news on STV HD?...

I doubt we will see ITV HD in scotland anytime soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I have seen no more news on STV HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

So, it's just Film4 HD to come then, after this latest tranche of HD channels?

It's funny, after having just BBC HD as the sole HD channel, for what seemed forever, to now have all these HD channels coming out is like going from a desert to an oasis. I can't wait for April 1st/2nd :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

My total channels have gone from 310 to 311 and my servs have gone from 33 to 35.
What else is being tested that we done know about.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Why not near the front with the other ITV channels... the lineup will be a mess again.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Who cares, you can re-jig them in your favourites anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Mess!!!

SCi-FI HD, E4 HD, Discovery HD and Eurosport HD on 01/04 in areas upgraded to NGTV.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

See post one.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Any update on the Sky Sports pricing war with the regulators?

Hopefully good news that the prices mightt come down!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No news.

The way the media was reporting it I was thinking it was set to come out this week.

If the Ofcom report is not out tomorrow it will be out before April 1st.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Question: What would everybody think when they wake up April 1st and on the HD channels its has big letters APRIL FOOLS!!! (Sureley not?)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

lol I think everyone will just see (1200) sign.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Hey don't forget for a lot of us it may as well say April Fool

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I have remove this post...


Sorry Media Boy.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Cheers for that MB,Hopefully will go to plan and will be one of the first in april.(preston)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Oww, I gotta wait till sometime in may :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

ooh im in redditch, so within the next few days, i thought i would have to wait til last. thanks mb

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

The list is subject to change, as there may be technical reasons why area's may not get completed in time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

yeh go on put a downer on it (lol) there probably WILL be technical issues

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I have had all the New hd channels downloaded onto my EPG ready for the big day but Sci-fi HD is not there so is there any reason for this?

I have also looked in the HD bit and everything is there but not Sci-fi hd.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Sci Fi HD will appear on April 1st.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Not for me it won't. :bigcry:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Dont be upset, if it turns out to be a big april fools joke you can laugh and say u should have waited :p:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

MB - How come you removed the NGTV upgrade timetable?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I know im same matey,Totally gutted about it.Hopefully if goes to plan we will get a week later(Preston),Very disapointed with Vm at minute.To promise then take away less then two weeks to launch i think thats why people are quite annoyed,If they had come out and told the truth when releasing Press reports i think myself and others would have accepted the situation better.I feel sorry for all those people who have to wait till may/june.But the upside at least we know they are coming :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I'm guessing you meant accepted? excepted (if the word exists) means would have been more disgruntled. Glad you can be patient though and accept they are coming abeit a little letter than originally anticipated

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

First of all, ALL the boxes are owned by Virgin Media, they cannot be sold to third parties, if they are being advertised on e-bay, it is likely that they are stolen. Secondly, one cannot just plug the box in. As far as I am aware, an engineer has to match it to the address and account it is working on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Itv+1 and all the other itv+1 channels have all launched also quest. Nice one. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

All expected channels have launched here except Cartoonito.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Got all expected channels and Cartoonito

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

no cartoonito in wolverhampton

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

im sat watching Tom and Jerry Kids no Cartoonito with my daughter here it Teesside so its been launched.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Hi, all new channels have appeared including Cartoonito (Wirral, part of Manchester network). We were upgraded to NGTV shortly after Midnight.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Quest channel just a blank screen at the moment

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Morning Everyone, brand new to this site. Ilive in the Levenshulme area of Machester, could somebody tell me which if any new channels I should be able to view this morning. I have got the XL T.V pack. Thanks

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

got them all in Wearside.

Sorry for being Dense but what is Quest?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

An old American TV(Ironside/TJ Hooker) and Discovery documentary type program mix looking at the guide.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

ok doubt that will EVER get watched then :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Probably not, it's a bit of a Frankenstein of a channel to be honest and in more ways than one, it was probably part of the clause if they wanted Discovery HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Looking at the TV Listings of it online i suppose if i find NOTHING to watch i would watch Monk or Massive Speed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

still a blank screen even though the programs have started its not another freeview lanch style cock up is it lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Got everything apart from that cartoonio or whatever its called.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

They came on early as when i was getting ready go work at 4.30 this morning they were in place.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
