Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

Even though I have just spent the past hour moaning about such posts, can someone tell me, in simple terms (:D) what the score is with Netflix and lovefilm?

Granted, Netflix is deffo coming soon, but, is it likely the cost of it may be incorporated into XL whilst Lovefilm may be a paid for app ?

Am I then correct in saying that Netflix is more TV Series orientated, and Lovefilm movie based ?

Netflix is way better especially if you use a smart DNS or VPN service (can't do this on Tivo yet) on your pc or better still if you use your own router just set that up on a smart dns or vpn service.

Please tell me that you guys who PM each other don't have to roll up one trouser leg whilst reading the PM and that there isn't a funny handshake symbol at the end of the PM :D

Indeed, the "I know something you don't know" sub forum, it's all getting very silly.

Agreed, as far as I can see they really only need to make some useful apps rather than what is supplied and I'll be a happy bunny.

Does anyone use the apps on a regular basis ?

Which ones Den?.
I will be honest and say I dont really inspect them closely, but the Ebay one was (to me anyway) pointless as you cannot do anything with it, BUT, the recent addition to upgrade to premium channels will be handy over Christmas.

I think we should bear in mind though that VM seem to just launch channels without warning. Never say never!

If he knew the answer to that, blue, he would have told us by now.

VM is very secretive about new channels and launch dates. Remember, they kept people guessing until the last minute with the BT Sport channels. There is no way MB would know about launch dates this far in advance, except in certain circumstances (eg when one of the major terrestrials announce a new channel starting and tell us they've done a deal with Virgin).

MB's list of coming soon channels has never had much on it beyond the next 30 days or so, and this included this year, when we have had our best year yet for new channels. This isn't MB's fault, by the way, it's just that VM seem to treat these developments as 'top secret'.
