Me and that poster on Digital Spy found the news about the asian channels launches on ''BizAsia'' web site.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

if it is a load of asian channels then and expecting me to accept the pay rise i think it will be time to cancel

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Any news on CBS Action?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I'd be gob smacked and very happy if we got 13 channels!!!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Can you please post with proper punctuation and use of capitals. I can't read a word of your posts and not sure what the point of a capital letter at the start of every word apart from stopping others being able to read what you are saying.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

No new channels were added today as at the 3.15 update.

It seems that the rumour of new channels launching today were just that!

Unless they (unusually) decide to add them later.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I did wonder why i had a flashing green light on front of my box and my broadband went off for 5 mins or so but as you say no new channels so far.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The only thing coming soon is our price rise, as far as l am concerned Virgins lack of progress in the last 6 to 9 months has been nothing short of shocking, all we have had is several price rises and the Tivo fiasco which is still going on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Seems your right,Very disappointed with vm.Look like they are expecting tivo to bring new/keep customers rather than channels :dozey:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

If anything does happen I would guess Friday (1st) is more likely, or next Tuesday based on past launches. Maybe even the day Tivo is officially available.

Wednesday the 30th with no prior announcement seemed an odd day to me personally.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

If you type a post entirely in capitals, it only capitalises the first letter of each word, to make it easier to read

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

And repeat, ad infinitum and ad nauseam...;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Remember though last year 5HD arrived unannounced, as others have said I'd expect new channels once VM are in there new financial year which starts on Friday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Indeed,

However I would personally expect VM to announce the arrival of pay channels before they happened, as far as I recall they always have before.

It's great that VM are adding premium channels or 'free' channels to the lineup but it appears XL customers are now looking for pay channels to join their line up, it's 6 months since any joined as far as I know.

Tivo's launch seems as good a time as any.

Yes sorry mate all your posts make you sound more than happy with VM LOL :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

And another batch of rumours bites the dust, what a surprise. VM have done a good job over the last 9 months shutting down the leaks within their organisation.But then that may be because there is nothing going on at all.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Strange though. I must admit getting annoyed when we weren't getting the HD that Sky was getting (And by that I mostly mean the Standard Channel4, 5 and ITV stuff) but TBH I don't watch half the HD channels we have now...letalone more.

Eurosport and Sky Sports 1 & 2 HD were a biggy for me, and I would like 3 & 4 HD but can live without it till it comes...

Sky Atlantic, well, you can't miss what you've not seen and there aren't enough hours in the day to watch what I want to now letalone more. ITV 2 3 4 HD??? Meh!!!

As for the Doc. channels, well I can't say I watch them much anyways.

More important for me is the Red Button facility and ine intro of standard Tivo in the next few months/years. (so I hope my SA box dies in a little while LOL)

I absolutly believe from what people on here have said and implied that our HD line up will increase but I want VM to get a good deal rather than our bills going up more than they have to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Wasn't there meant to be a tivo launch partty today where people hoped new channels would be announced as well?

Has the party happened, about to happen later today or was that false information re the launch party?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

...according to the Electric Channel guide pdf >>> http://www.virginmedia.com/customers...nnel-guide.pdf

...Colors TV on Channel 826, and Sunshine Radio on Channel 974

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Why its nice to read some of the speculation and rumours on the forums about forthcoming launches I always tended to wait for the press releases from VM even if Id heard something myself. But even they arent accurate... they are constantly pulling the wool over customers eyes and makes it hard for someone like me who doesnt want to pay for Sky for anything and BT Vision arent viable option for me to take them seriously. Im baring paying them every month through gritted teeth and it shouldnt be that way.

People on here (including VM staff and mods) might not wanna hear it but Virgin try to constant play the victim role in relation to their negoiations to Sly and other big companies whilst shafting others. Not only that the constantly lying to customers and then vanishing when the said promises and launches dont happen I find amazing and from what Ive read nobody has pulled them up on it.

Examples include: Few years back when 4oD launched we were promised HD on demand content... has anyone seen it? Likewise with ITV Player HD on demand content... never turned up too. When I queried this before with Twitter team was told they spoke to content dept and that they are working with both channels to make it happen and that was last summer.

More examples: Sky on demand content mentioned in the press release 9 months ago to the channel deal including via TV and Virgin Media online player... nothing unless you include limited OD content from Sky Living, greatly reduced from before. Also mentioned in there press release was on demand content for premium channels (eg: sky sports/movies) and nothing. No red button that was supposed to launch mid march and no communication from them as to why apart from VM staff posting on here that its 'coming soon' and 'in testing' but why cant they communicate that more widely. When your told something by VM you have to take it with a pinch of salt.

Sky Arts HD on demand mentioned in the press release and nothing 9 months later apart from Sky Living HD (which we already had) and 1 addition with Sky1HD.

Good Food HD (not bothered about this but just add another example) was mentioned in a press release as being under negiotation yet VM own 50% of the channel and it launches on Sky 1st before VM. Now can anybody explain the logic in that to me? Do VM staff know why people are so frustrated with them as a company and their odd business decisions?

Viacom remove 3 channels from VM to launch Comedy Central HD "to launch new channels on VM" what has launched? Nothing... but they have on Sly with MTV Music channel and Nickleodeon HD and there also a number of Viacom channels that VM customers dont have.

Add to the fact we have had 2 price rises in 6 months, numerious channels removed from platform everything seems to round out as us having around 160 channels on XL and then whatever premium add-ons you want after. 160ish (to 170) seems to be the benchmark they want to stick to and we will get no more.

Mentioned this all in complaints to CEO office guess what they could tell me... nothing! Apart from going on about TiVo which was suppose to have launched late Dec hasnt (dont include BETA launch to staff and couple thousand lucky customers to test a launch) and red button is 'coming soon' but still in testing.

Was told that Sky on demand content isnt coming now coz Sly want too much money for it! They didnt even know it was mentioned in the press release when I brought it up...

TiVo without content will eventually be toothless and I find it amazing they sold their content division to Sky. At least with their own content at gave them some bargaining power to protect us and content for thier platform.

What is even more incredible is we lose Bravo channels, Virgin 1, Challenge Jackpot and the plus 1's yet the one new channel Sly launch... Sky Atlantic we dont get! In the press release it said Sky would deal with VM with new channel launches in fair/competitive terms yet VM would been paying a set fee for Sky's basic channels. So if the set fee for example was 10 quid per month for 10 channels and then Sky close 4 of em and launch another surely the terms of deal have changed? Why would you continue to pay Sky £10 a month to recieve 6 channels when the deal covered 10? And then just accept it? Something doesnt add up... leads me to believe they knew that channels would be closed. Why would you sign a multi year deal with so many loopholes?

I'll go one further... its looking as if its a 1 in and 1 out in channel launches right now as it would seem VM network cant add channels (especially on HD front) without removing them. It also looks like they are trying to increase profits whilst cutting back on content to customers yet putting up prices for us. CSC wants True Entertainment on VM and launches but Pop is dropped. My son used to watch Pop and its on demand content but now they are gone to launch this new channel. Why couldnt both be on VM? Seems like they want to pay content providers the same prices in contract negiotiations yet want more content... then tell them if you wanna launch new channels you have to take some off as we aint paying you anymore!

Can anyone from VM on here honestly answer these questions? One very disillusioned cable customer of 15 years! Please correct me with facts rather than fanboy rants telling how me great everything is with VM... I think we deserve to know the truth and be updated with issues via official means such as there website or email communications if there is a problem with launches (eg: TiVo, red button, content launches etc) more efficently rather than posts from VM staff hiding behind user names on here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Wow 2 channels the vast amount of tv viewers have no interest in, come on Virgin pull your socks up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Was told that Sky on demand content isnt coming now coz Sly want too much money for it! They didnt even know it was mentioned in the press release when I brought it up...

That's a line they use all the time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Your post has summed up just about everything anyone has complained about on this forum over the last 3 months. I have to agree with you in the main.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The same has been said about Sky Arts HD.

I hope this is not true and just idle miss informed talk, the whole point of something like Tivo is to move to content on demand rather live TV. But content on demand is only relevant if you can get it in the first place!

As a committed VM customer, this would get me to a situation where I would consider Sky for the first time even with VM having Tivo! Content is king and VM need to make sure they can provide content outside live channel time, you cannot record everything all of the time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I have to agree with you it was about 9 months ago vm announced sky arts HD was part of the channel sale deal,when i was married to my ex she managed to deliver a baby in that time.:shocked: So if it was not coming vm have had plenty of time to say so. Although if i remember rightly the press release may have said vm only had the "option" to carry the channels if so i take that to mean no deal had been done regarding the price vm might have to pay to carry them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

As a very loyal Virgin customer l agree with a lot what you saying as matter as fact l have stated the same in some of my posts.
Virgins lack of new channels and many other things as well shows they are not listening to their customers at all and also their lack of communication and the tivo fiasco sums them up at the present time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I'm not being picky but that link says nowt about when. Active talks was, i grant you, blurb from VM and maybe they shouldn't have said anyting if a deal wasn't done. But I stand by my point. There's never been anything official to say those things are NOT coming.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

yeah - sounds rather like ESPNA HD that never seems to arrive. I have been very patient with VM and to be honest in the past 12 months (less really) we have seen a huge upswing in HD channels but now we seem to have hit a brick wall :( .

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

No it says

With further HD channels due to launch over the coming months, including Sky1 HD, Sky Arts HD and, now Comedy Central HD, Virgin Media will soon offer over 30 HD TV channels.

9 months is excessive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

.



I hate to be the voice of reason here but there are a few things to concider.


The vast majority of VM customers are not telling them anything, a small number moaning on a forum is not very representative.

Almost all customers if asked would say they are happy with what they get and why would they not be unless they read press releases and post on forums like this.

My sister only knows new HD channels are adde when I tell her and she has 4 boxes in the house:shocked:


What she would like and notice more is extra content in VOD.


It's here thatVM can make themselves the best and where money should be spent


I would be much happier to have HD content adde that way than on channels as I could watch it when I want.:angel:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I'm very happy to be wrong as it would mean that many of the channels and content people are asking for they would get but unfortunately we can only deal with the facts as they are in front of us and right now several empty and hollow promises and virtually none delivered.

Was promised a TiVo last year for testing by someone in Twitter team and never got it... after kicking off with CEO office got promised a free one in December, do I have it now at end of March? Nope! Had a faulty box that I put up with for months and recently got changed to Samsung V+ coz I couldnt wait anymore for TiVo to come. Have the emails and note on my account (apprentally) and thats it. If doesnt materalise next week when the supposed launch for customers happens then OFCOM is my next call... seems as if they tell you anything at VM to keep your custom.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

TMTR, can you summerise please? ta

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Well for VOD then, lets start with SkyOD as that would be high value content on demand, see my comment earlier.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

No offence DF but thats a bit rude , he's a VM customer who is entitled to his say and most others took the time to read.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Yep I agree up to a point as most people cant be arsed to complain. This is the whole reason why they need to communicate better with us as customers. I have a mate that is presenter on Capital and recently switched over to VM from Sky to save money. He now is complaining about tech issues and bad customer services and has been offered a half price deal to go back to Sky. His experience of dealing with VM CS plus the tech faults has been so bad he cant put himself through complaining anymore and wants to leave... is fed up of waiting for red button etc to come.

Ive told him to complain to CEO office and mention that VM advertise on drivetime nationwide on his station and that he shouldnt have to play this card but has to coz he isnt getting any joy with CS and isnt happy.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Is it? we waited over 3 or 4 years to get more HD other than BBCHD? It's purley opinion what's excessive or not.... and you (and others) still haven't shown proof that these channels are NOT coming.

You all may be right, the truth is we don't know! But that's a different matter.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It would be better to read it like the rest of us have , I am sure you will get the point he is making.:D

So busy that you can spend time being rude to customers on a forum instead of doing your job? Or is it that you cant answer the questions and are trying to save face maybe?

If your job is in fact that you are a community manager who spends his day on the forums using aliases to promote VM then clearly you arent doing a very good job!:td:

---------- Post added at 15:29 ---------- Previous post was at 15:27 ----------

Your right we dont know but as customers who pay VM's staff wages we have a right to know when are getting content etc that we have been promised and we cant get what we request surely?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Whilst I agree you have a number of valid points, especially regarding communication with customers, I have to disagree with your interpretation of to mean That is an assumption, not a fact - it could be equally assumed that the majority of customers don't complain because they have nothing to complain about.

(and I don't work for VM, I am just another customer)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I haven't been rude, I asked you to summerise as you rambled, plus it's my day off if it's any of your business.

And so you continue running off your mouth... the points are there for you to break down. If you cant be bothered then dont comment on the matter its quite simple really... silence is deafening from VM on these matters and your just clearly just proving my point by being sarcastic, rude or however you want to term your comments.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I've answered your post in the Sky Sports red button thread BTW.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Well valid point up to a point make my judgement based on working in the media (in the past in radio and print media) and also a community manager on computer game with own experiences and those of my friends and family. From speaking to them (many of them have had opinions on projects Ive worked on) they really cant be bothered most of the time to complain when Ive told them to do it. Granted many people I know with VM have never experienced the tech faults I have had but all of them are frustrated (10+ dotted around the UK) with VM's content etc as I mentioned in my original post.

---------- Post added at 15:50 ---------- Previous post was at 15:47 ----------

Yep and I responded... when I find email/link Ill post.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I've posted again ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Agree (mostly) with what your are saying, Mr-S, but we have to bear in mind that sometimes what we see an issue, others don't.

It doesn't mean it's not a problem to us, but it does mean it's not a problem to them - for example, I get hacked off with the battery life of most smartphones, as I have had a mobile phone since the 80's, and remember the Nokia 6310i's with a battery life of a couple of days - but to today's consumers, the short battery life of a smartphone is a feature, not a bug.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Amen to that Hugh my Desire battery hacks me off big time although I love the phone.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Fair enough horses for courses but its very frustrating deal with Virgin... smoke and mirrors at lot of the time. Ive worked on projects when your dying to tell people the truth but cant for business reasons but when clear promises for launches are made and then they just vanish without a trace its adds to frustration in other areas such as tech probs, content/channels not being available on VM etc

I dont think they really appreciate that a lot of time... people will complain regardless but a lot of this I feel could be avoided if they communicated a lot better.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Communication has never been VM's strong point.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The UKTV HD channels absence has always seemed an odd position to me. I know staff have said UKTV is separate to VM and that it has an independent board, I don't doubt that.

But can anyone really imagine BSkyB allowing channels they have a share in to launch exclusively on a rival platform?

I'll probably get low viewing figures thrown at me to justify their absence for saying that but I bet they are better than Cinemoi's ratings!:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Not sure, VM don't announce anything about negotiations or details of channel agreements normally.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It is a very strange situation that VM have got themselves into regarding UK TV. I cannot imagine BSkyB allowing that to happen in any way, shape or form.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Have to agree with that... bizarre!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Directgov to close on Virgin Media.

Directgov is to stop broadcasting on Virgin Media on March 31st.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Agreed. The lack of HD channels from a compaany that VM part own, but the same channels being availabe on a rival platform, should be down right embarassing to VM!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Yes, as part of the Government cut backs they are stopping this service. you can still access online.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

For me VM are really missing a trick with Eden HD. Not only does this type of channel really benefit from HD but it's brimming with native content too.

Then again I suppose it's down to personal taste, lots of people on here really want ESPNA HD but in reality its weekly reach for the SD channel is miniscule, I would guess it's only available on Sky because of their different pricing model.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Yes, Eden HD would be a good addition.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Even more bizarre is saying a channel is coming in a press release then not following through.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I never new they did .

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It has been replaced by free online red button service on Sky (Community Channel). Online is much easier though given the dial up modem!

I reported a fault with DirectGov on VM when I got V+ installed, I could never use it properly as certain features made the box crash.

It worked fine on the V Box, Bloomberg was the same.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
