It look like an area fault.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Northampton area doesnt have it either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Rugby area doesnt have it either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No Cartonnito here in Macclesfield but got the other new channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

What do you see when you go to Cartoonito any sign?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I dont mean to be pickie (well actualy I do - but I really mean it in a friendly way). But surely if you are going to pick somebody up on their english you should get your spelling correct as well? "a little letter"? :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Same here in Wigan no quest also.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

we got quest in wolverhampton but no cartoonito

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Why are you guys looking for Cartoonito? The press release did mention that it will be available from April.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Some people are quoting they have it already that's why.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Maybe because some people have said they have got Cartoonito?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Can I ask anyone with missing channels to do a full reboot please? Post back your area and new channel missing if this doesn't fix the issue. Thanks :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

cartoonito ch 706 in wolverhampton still missing after reboot.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Looks like Cartoonito has only launched in NGTV areas then?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

i thought the same but its on in brum.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

i can confirm that cartoonito is working in Edinburgh

Currently showing "Krypto the Superdog"

I hate to disappoint, but i don't plan to update the schedule in future, as i have no intention of watching it :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Give it a couple of hours... it's probably a staged rollout today.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Yesss one for Brum. We won't have shiny new HD channels but at least we have Cartoonito. :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

we aint got the new hd channels either so you got more then us lol;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Still not here in Northampton after reboot.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

All present and correct in my area. (Stretford/Baguley)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Time I think for Cartoonito to have it own thread on Cable Forum.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...l#post34987350

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Still not on in Wigan. The little ones holding digital fanatic personally responsible LOL...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Just gone through my box and all channels expected today are present and correct :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I have it in Guisborough Teesside

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Same here little uns watching cartoonito now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Looks like Virgin has only launch Cartoonito in NGTV areas.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Here in Brotton Teesside too!:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I am surprised to read all the moans from people who are going to have to wait a couple of months for extra HD channels - how about the poor sods in Scotland & N. Ireland who, as far as I understand, aren't going to get ITV1 HD at all?
The excuse given is "Customers in Scotland and Northern Ireland won’t receive ITV 1 HD, as STV and UTV don’t give access to branded services from ITV 1", but we can already get ITV1 on channel 853, so what's the problem?
We have to wait for STV to go HD - that'll be never!
I'm surprised I haven't read any comments about this on this forum.
How can we get this sorted - after all, this is probably one of the most important channels - let's face it, BBC HD is only part time and chooses to carry random programmes not all of which benefit from HD presentation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Cartoonito here is Stockton on Tees, Teesside too !!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

STV are like UTV

HD whats that :confused::confused::confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

You're right. All present and correct in Stretford :)

I never noticed! All the channels are there. I thought we would be the last to get done too considering the size of the Baguley network.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Is there no way for Virgin Customers in NI or Scotland to access ITVHD in the same way Sky and freesat customers in NI and Scotland can?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Nope.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

It's not a excuse, it's a reason. ITV1 HD is a simulcast of ITV1 London in HD, the only reason you are getting the 853 channel is because the audio description feed is only broadcast on the London feed.

It's a English/Welsh regional channel. we don't get STV or UTV :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

And here is the eventual reply from utv with my query:
Q.
Dear utv,

Itv told me that they forwarded my request below to yourselves but I have not had the courtesy of a reply.

I would be grateful for your comments as it would appear that we are being denied itv HD programming because utv are going their own way. I predict that this will go the way of itv2 maybe 10 years ago when utv would allow cable to carry itv2 as a utv2 was running. Where did that go???

A:

Thank you for your recent email regarding the launch of ITV1 HD. Sorry for the delay in my reply; I am just back from leave.

We are currently in negotiations with ITV in order to provide a UTV HD channel in Northern Ireland in the near future.

We appreciate when viewers take the time to contact us as your views are important and have been seen by UTV senior management.

Best wishes,
Sarah

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I am a bit confused by all the changes, what exactly should
be showing either if is on air or just a slate, as i think i am missing some. whould some kind person on here put a list on new channels on either on either or just slates ,i know there is a list on post one but i am in a non ngtv
area i think , and that's where the list confuses me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

You are lucky you don't get STV - there is no advantage to this. Since STV became strapped for cash, Scotland misses out on major network series - we get 'wonderful' local content instead.
As ITV and ITV HD are available on Freesat, why shouldn't they be available on Virgin - after all, we are paying the same price as the rest of the UK.
It couldn't be anything to do with the on-going financial arguments between STV & ITV could it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

The following changes should have happened:

23rd. Virgin are to advertise the launch of ITV1 HD on Virgin Channel 113 from today. Not available in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
25th. ITV2+1 to launch on Virgin Channel 116 on the TV Size M pack.
25th. ITV3+1 to launch on Virgin Channel 174 on the TV Size M pack.
25th. ITV4+1 to launch on Virgin Channel 175 on the TV Size M pack.
25th. Quest to launch on Virgin Channel 179 on the TV Size M pack.
25th. Animal Planet +1 to be drop on Virgin Channel 216.
25th. History+1 to be drop on Virgin Channel 235 (Ex-ntl only).
25th. Military History to launch on Virgin Channel 236 on the TV Size XL pack.
25th. Men & Motors to be drop on Virgin Channel 280.
25th. Cartoon Network Too is moving from Virgin Channel 732 to Virgin Channel 705.

The ITV1HD should be a slate saying 'Get Ready for ITV1 in HD. Coming to this channel soon'

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Quite possibly, plus STV wouldn't be happy with ITV stealing viewers on their HD channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

I hope you are all sitting down for this bad news...

Over Easter I will be not updating post one on Easter Monday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

When Is Virgin Media Going To Get Demand Five and Sky Player?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Why would they want sky player????? When they are launching their very own superior Virgin Player

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

E4 HD dissapeared here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

E4 HD had gone from the epg. :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Media Boy

Hang your head in shame :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

It was never on my EPG. All I have is an ITV HD placeholder, which is a kind of sad as it's a channel I'll never watch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

We seem to have it here in none NGTV Brum:cool:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

still a blank screen for quest this morning is there a fault is anybody else having this problem or are they getting it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Quest was working here yesterday (non-NGTV area). Haven't checked today.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

same here is Teesside !!!

got all the rest but E4 HD has totally dissapeared from the EPG. all you get is incorrect channel when you try 145.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Saw an ad last night on E4 for E4HD saying coming soon to VM... on channel 151:spin:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Quest was fine here but as with cartoonito it just didnt transmit the off air slate when it closed down. Quest came to life with teleshopping at 7am.

E4 HD has left the EPG here too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

E4 HD back now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

So even if we aint in the NGTV area when the HD channels broadcast will we still get ITV HD on the 2nd April as thats the only one I have on the EPG?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

yes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Sports threaten legal action over ofcom.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010...s-legal-action

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

they were always going too, as it meant a drop in prices accross the board.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Well For TV Shows Like Lost, The Simpsons, 24 and House etc That why WE Need The Sky Player.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Hi, E4HD is fine here in Darlington on channel 145 it has a holding screen saying More HD channels coming soon and it list's 4 more at the bottom and there channel numbers which are free with XL TV

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

The interesting thing is that as I understand it OFCOM believe they can now say to sky..

"Okay take us to court but you have to drop your prices to what we say now'

In the past sky have, how can you say, rather dragged their heels, when it comes to getting to a conclusion in court. If OFCOM force them to lower the prices now one would guess that the Sky legal team would be force fed red bull in an attempt to get the case to court asap.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

is eurosport hd the international eurosport and if it is will it show prem leage footy :P

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Looks like Southampton North West (and therefore possibly Salisbury) upgraded to NGTV in the last 24 hours.

I definitely didn't have the New HD channels yesterday morning, but they're are there now (with Cartoonito too)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

No it's doesn't show the premier league football the only way to watch it is ESPN and $ky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

I am soooo happy that we now have ITV2+1.

Today I was able to miss Jeremy Kyle 4 times instead of only 2!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Just a Thought What Is Going to Happen to The Old episodes of The Bill thats shown on channel Watch Now thats Been Axed by ITV?. Also should'nt the BBC step In and save the Programme like they did with Primeval?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Good idea it will be even easier to swap actors between The Bill and Eastenders then. ;)
