It's a shame that ITVBe can't be on the list as i'd definitely vote for it. I agree with what someone else said about it being one of the best channels ever created as it stops all its rubbish from being aired on ITV!

Let's stop the pointless bickering and get back on topic. BTW anyone who finds this thread pointless should perhaps just stay out of it. Plenty of other threads to look at.

Prove it show us a link.
Amazon etc won't get all the rights i agree with you there but i feel they will get some rights or maybe highlight rights.

Amazon have shown they are in the market for streaming rights. They have NFL Thursday night football and how NFL game pass is performing, I would not be surprised if they went more rights as they become available.

How exactly does that translate into 'but they won't come here'?

The media scene is changing, Den, you might as well get used to the idea.

The 'coming soons' will all be streaming services before long, and what is migrating from conventional TV channels to these OTT services.

Oh, and the traditional channels closing down, of course. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

I think for once I have to disagree with theone2k10, I do not believe the Man City agreement is Amazon testing the football market,
I think its more likely an extension of their (imho) excellent All or Nothing series which has so far featured NFL teams in the first two seasons and I think they know they can't just have it about NFL before the show gets stale.

Recent changes on the VM Network:

Following on from recent frequency changes on the Barnsley, Brighton and Bristol (Aztec) networks. November has, so far, brought frequency changes on the Southampton and Seven Kings networks.

STV AD (SID 10252) has now been added to the SDT. Note that, at the time of the most recent scan data available, this had not yet been added to the NIT. Unlike the other Audio Description channels, this one is on TSID 102, a regional transport stream, suggesting that it will only be made available on a regional basis. Until it appears in the NIT, it is impossible to say which regions.

It is currently listed as being on EPG channel 853, has the EPG "Entertainment" flag and is flagged as "hidden".

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 00:31.
