I think he might.

I think it's a good addition to the market. A combination of Freeview and NOW TV Entertainment might appeal to those on a tight budget. I still think the SKY Sports day pass needs revised.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

The pricing on the sky sports day pass is mental, the entertainment bundle is very competitive though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Hi Chad I just been over and looked and it says Introductory price of £4.99 per month if joining by 31st March 2014. Currently available only on compatible PC & Mac, PS3, NOW TV Box and Roku.

So I dont know if it is limited to the number of subscribers.
I have just sent for my box a bargain at £4.99 a month imho
I will also use it for sky movies as at £8.99 it is a lot cheaper than I can get it on Virgin. Crafty Sky :-)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

The entertainment bundle is good value. Even SKY Movies on NOW TV is decent value now it's been repriced.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Yes Den.........:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I was told limited numbers however that could be a mistake.

I've got NOW TV via my LG Smart TV. The new channels haven't been added yet via the app.

I think it's great value. Would like to know if they plan a HD version.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I agree it's good value at £4.99. But for VM users, it is only the Sky Atlantic that is of any value. And until the put all the Atlantic shows on there (or the vast majority), and, more importantly, previous seasons, then it is badly flawed, even at £4.99.


I wonder if Sky may see how many VM users subscribe and then work out if they would get more from that at £4.99 per customer, compared with a reduced flat rate or every VM customer (or XL customer) from wholesaling it to VM.

Or, given improving relations between Sky and VM and Sky's reported desire for VM to take Bravo, they may just do a deal with VM for Atlantic anyway.

There target audience must surely be the people with free to air digital channel services; Freview, Freesat and Youview though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

You only have to ask those trusty old stalwarts Chad and Muppetman and l am sure they will concur with thy servant to the great and the good.:nworthy::nworthy::waving::waving:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I'm honestly considering nowtv for my sons bedroom at that price.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

That's my thinking too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

It's not really a clique it's just there's some posters who you'd trust the rumours from and then some who come on, having never really posted with information and no evidence so you never know if its somewhere being a WUM (wind up merchant)

If den posts something and says the same information i'd take it on board. You just don't know other people. It's not being a clique really. Though i'd very much like to be in a clique with Den we'd be mega cool.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

If Sky Atlantic doesn't come to VM, maybe those who really want this channel will use this service as a workaround?

If the missing shows that you mentioned are sorted out, £4.99 a month is not far off the extra quid a week that some people said that they would be prepared to pay if SA appeared as a standalone channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

exactly i think this is the perfect solution to those who desperately want SA

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Maybe someone can arrange to get you a room? ;):D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I must say that as a virgin subscriber the movies for £8.99 is what really got my attention as I had been thinking of subscribing to the movies on Virgin but was put off by the price.

I do think the sports day pass is extortionate on Now though.
I for one am hoping that SA and History HD do arrive on Virgin soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Providing they get all Atlantic shows and previously shown seasons, it is a solution. It's nowhere near a perfect solution though as VM customers would only gain a small percentage of the channels (and therefore value) in the Entertainment pack.

Adding it to VM is the perfect solution.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

I was only told by an Sky insider that Sky Arts 2 was maybe set to launch last week.

Also have an look that my 'own by' link.

I can reveal at the 'Do Not Post' is set to be remove very soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

No new channels coming this week then? :rem: I am hoping at least some of the sky channels launch soon!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

We already have Sky Arts 2 SD and HD :confused:

Looks like the closure of Sky Arts 2 SD is going ahead as soon as Sky are satisfied it won't damage their relationship with their customers.

Never heard of Loungelab though!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Virgin Media carry Sky Arts 2 in both SD and HD (I did mean Close).

Media Boys late night round up.

-Two channels has been remove from 'Total Channels' - I think they are the two ESPN Channels that close in August.

Media Boy reveals that 'Do Not Post' order.

Base on information Media Boy HQ has seen (From an Virgin insider and an Rumour Poster) Netfix is set to launch in all areas by November 6th*.

*NOTE: I do not work for Virgin Media so all the information on this post about Netfix is still subject to change.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Excellent news MB cheers

My box sounded like it was going to take off last night around 5am I thought id be getting the netflix update but sadly nothing has arrived!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

No source then I dont believe...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Perhaps that was it landing.

Who really knows what their boxes get up when you're sleeping ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Cheers MB, is the insider one of your reliable insiders?

Will be glad to see when it finally arrives, even if it is later than the 6th Nov. I will certainly give it a free trial as I have 10 days off work from the 8th Nov. :)
Glad to see VM have given it a thorough testing period, rather than rush it out with a few bugs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Anything going down today news wise.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

So has anyone here actually already got netflix on their tvio and used it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Yes, there has been a pilot, recently extended to Manchester, running for many months.

He said it last week as well, maybe he is ITK and they aren't coming.

As always, time will tell

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Aye perhaps i only trust people on here i recognise though as i've seen on "the other forum" people are saying they'll deliberately give misinformation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

He did also post the following on the 18th September 2013:

"I can confirm apart from Netflix no channels will be launching this year "

But since then More 4HD, Premier Sports and Tiddlers TV have launched. Either his source is unreliable or it's pure fiction.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I just got some confidential info , once i'm given all clear i will post it. All i'm saying is you'll like it a lot.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Is it a new loyalty pricing structure, based on continuous custom?

£5 per month off for five or more continuous years, £10 for 10 years, £20 for 20 years, .....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Yeah i was confident the person was from "the other forum" where they've hilariously been arranging to spread false rumours. I thought my life was tedious.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Or just trying to push Sky's new products? It's quite a sad attempt if that is the case.

Remember, you can't be too careful when posting information here. Might I suggest you take precautions, perhaps...

Perhaps this was the EPG number before BT took over ESPN?? Anybody know?

When VM started running the company and did their first major update of the boxes, I went into the living room to find that the box had actually moved forwards! I joked at the time that they had sent my update a little too forcefully :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

ESPN has been on Virgin Channel 529 since launch back in 2009.

DS Forums are staying that an other Bio stream is testing right now - Lifetime to launch on New stream? Or Lifetime HD to launch?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Personally, I wouldn't trust anybody who feels the need to preface their name with the term "DJ".

This started as a fad in the 90's as a way to market famous Disc Jockeys and musicians, but was soon being used by any Tom, Dick or Harry in an attempt to pitifully (in their eyes) improve their status in life (though many are simply unemployed bedroom DJ's).

Not that all bedroom DJ's are bad, in my line of work I've discovered some talent on a few occasions, but most are simply deluded!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Espn & espn hd have all ways been on 529,530.

It was mettion some where on this forum that when bt sports launched they were met to move tto 541, 542.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

l see on the EPG its showing some of the Lifetime programmes which can be series linked.

Mind you, there have been a few ...
DJ Talent (sorry!)

Any more ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Can not stand any form of commercial music so any dj should be shot:mad:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Yes, the mocking of others is a particular problem on this forum. It is also very often done by the admin staff which is particularly disappointing. One would have assumed that their priority would be to ensure that the forum runs smoothly and is seen as a warm and friendly place to partake in.

It would be an interesting scenario if both Sky Arts 2 SD and HD closed. Perhaps Sky are now coming round to the VM view that VOD is the way forward as opposed to linear channels??

Perhaps VOD is a chance for under performing channels to be retained (or even move into profit?).

I agree, could one of you please create a thread about this 'phone app in the correct place?

This stops Media Boy's thread from being cluttered up with this subject and would also reach out to more customers to highlight a very useful service to those that may benefit from it.

I like some of the modern dance stuff, but also like many types of other music too. In fact, when people ask me what sort of music I like, I say it would be easier for me to tell them the sort of music that I don't like eg reggae, rap, opera etc.
