Virgin do have a pattern of launching channels around the start of October and your information confirms it.

They are not Sky Channels if Virgin was testing them Virgin will put them beside Sky Movies Classic HD.

I think they will be any of the following:

PBS UK (Launching in November so maybe Virgin have put an channel set aside for channel launch)
ESPN America HD
Disney XD HD
Disney HD
Sony TV UK
Sony TV UK +1
Zing

Any news on Universal HD. If boxnation is on channel 890. Then i hope if channels 891,892 are testing i hope they are ESPN America HD and Universal HD

I really, really hope so! It's not often I rant like a mad man about a channel coming soon but this for me is a big one.

Also great news about SKY Movies Classics HD. Looks like October is going to be a great month. If SKY anytime arrives in the next 35 days then I'll hug the first Virgin employee I see when I'm out and about. I often see the "Van Morrison" and "Van Helsing" vehicles where I live just outside Edinburgh. If you drive these vans, be prepared to receive a man hug!

Box nation is pretty decent PQ for an SD channel , only really boxing fanatics who'll pay when it goes to 10.00 a month but at least those who want it will have the option, that was always my gripe with ESPNA HD even though I understand it's not a channel the masses watch.

Nah, actually I don't think I could do that. That piece of trash is everything I hate about music and TV in one rage-inducing, bile-laden show, and I'm not alone in holding that viewpoint.

I could do a twenty minute standup routine on why exactly it sucks that might just leave you in stiches, but this is a forum not an open mic night. :D

...anyway, good news about getting some new channels, though presumably they only apply to L and XL package customers?

You should be out having fun, not worrying when XYZ launches on Virgin TV.
Asking every 5 minutes will not change anything.

Apologies, but it seems like i'm reading the same thing over and over again. Either that or my browser has a faulty cache on both my laptop and phone.

In all honesty you're getting the same responses over there as you are here. And it is posters like you that will stop me from coming back again and again.

I've not been on here in a while because I was starting to get frustrated talking about stuff that never happens. Seriously why keep harping on about everything and repeating yourself to the point that it annoys everyone. Get the message!!! I am sure MB has better things to do that keep answering your questions, especially when he has already answered them a million times before. When they launch, they launch, just enjoy your TV service or switch to the competitor.

TBH my contract is up in March, if more hasn't arrived and the EPG and TiVo bugs haven't been fixed then I will most likely switch back to sky. I really like Virgin. What they do they do really well. but certain things like the lack of Atlantic, extra HD channels (Sky Sports 3/4 HD) and the red button debacle are starting to annoy me.

I'm not blaming Virgin for it at all, but it doesn't stop the fact that sky have them and Virgin don't. I haven't a problem with Virgin, but there will come a point when I will have to decide what I want to do. Do I want to further wait, in the hope that either Sky will back down or Virgin put up what it takes to get these things I would like or I change providers and get them anyway. I would prefer to stay, which is Why I am still waiting buy hey things change.

Wish people would stop blaming sky for everything and sky atlantic is not being withheld,Just that vm will not pay what they want for it and if you contact the other channels providers i mentioned above they are all pretty much saying the same thing.:erm:

Of course they are withholding it, their adverts say nothing else except $ky Atlantic this, $ky Atlantic that. If i offered you something for more than i knew you would possibly pay, then thats the same as withholding it, but being able to say sorry guv, i woulda shared it but you baulked.

Smallworld were not offered Sky Atlantic. Virgin media have been offered Sky Atlantic but Virgin Media said was to high a price,

Virgin Media on Thursday hit back at criticism that Sky Atlantic is not available to its almost 4 million cable TV subscribers, accusing BSkyB of demanding an "unrealistic" price for a carriage deal.

Virgin Media are currently in talks to get Sky Atlantic and confirmed by Media Boy insiders and hopefully it comes to Virgin Media soon but unlikely.

As long as you don't mind breaking the law of course!

Sky Atlantic will be available to VM customers whenever VM bite the bullet and pay for it, it is not being withheld - VM say it's too expensive, Sky say VM want it on the cheap, believe which side you will.

It is a very frustrating situation for those who are unable to jump over to the competitors to see such brilliant television beig denied us. It is a gaping hole in VM's service and one they need to get sorted.

As for the UKTV channels - personally I couldn't be less enthused by them, they're simply coming to VM because they're cheap.

I subscribe to Sky movies and buy blu rays, rent the odd movie from Qriocity and go to the cinema. But I still download the odd movie to watch it early and some TV episodes, I downloaded Game of Thrones cause VM haven't got Sky Atlantic.

Well there was a press release to announce it and say its coming soon.

Why do they need to issue an other one just to say... Here it is?

They must be channels on 891,892. Why else would have spaces between 890 and 893 ?

Why do a press release until everyone's got it? If they do one now they'll be flooded with calls from people asking why they don't have it yet.

They had press releases in march 2010 about HD channels lauching in april 2010 when not everybody would get the HD channels in april. NGTV rollout was completed until the end May 2010

Exactly, a press release announcing Sky Anytime+ coming soon is enough. No reason to issue another one telling you its here.

No need to edit your posts so much or delete them once people have already quoted them.

There will be a press release
Quote:

Hi,
Sky Anytime+ is launching on our platform later this year. We haven't produced a full annoucement or any detail on the service because the Electric magazine is the only channel where we've mentioned the launch of these services, and we want a fuller shout (with more detail) to coincide with a press release and arrive closer in advance to the date of launch. As soon as our communications have been finalised, I will let you know!

Thanks,

Nick

Checked both my Tivo's one says that Deman is unavailable and the other connects fine but just sees the usual Sky Living in the Anytime folder.

Sounds more like CS just telling customers what they want to hear.

Correct :D just giving an idea , on Sky you have showcase which the majority is in HD and updated daily , then you have the anytime+ with movies , box sets etc although I will say VM has far more choice when it comes to box sets something I wouldn't have thought. Sky movie subscribers will have a massive choice of films and there's quite a bit of content from the Sky Sports.
