It is due to the button button that skips back 8 seconds <-:erm:

I think it will arrive but when is anyone's guess. What I dont understand is the price for movies is going down but no press release, no press release that Movies classic HD is being added. There is no press release that the HD sub is going from per box to per account and no press release that Sky Anytime+ is launching very soon.

Are they close to a deal on something else and want to do one press release regarding an all new sky deal?:D hopefully it is what I am thinking.
There will be a press release this week

If you read what MB has said, As it says expect a press releases "this coming week".
The post was posted on the 25th and if you take 7 days to that you get the 32nd (which does not exist) so you will be looking at October (so next week):confused:

Or am I just going mad in my thinking about this?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 
Why bother with much of a press release at all? All it'll say is "Virgin Media customers can now enjoy repeats of Only Fools and Horses on Watch HD, oft repeated documentaries and repeats of repeats of Sharpe an hour later and some repeats of cooking programmes in HD", while over the page we're advised that series 2 of Boardwalk Empire is starting, but not for us!

Apologies for the bitter rants, people, it's just with every new series premier that comes along which I'm wanting to see but missing it gets that extra bit frustrating.

Sadly not very often of late:(

On topic though, looks like a very fruitful next few weeks from Virgin, 4 or 5 HD channels and Sky Anytime. Well done Virgin and many thanks Media Boy for giving us the facts:)

All reference to Box Nation being on Virgin has now been removed:

http://www.boxnation.tv/

WTF? Does anyone know if Box Nation really are in talks with Virgin? I e-mailed Box Nation 2 days ago asking for more info regarding their launch on virgin but nothing back so far.

As crazy as this might sound I will have to leave Virgin if this isn't coming to cable. Forget movies, forget football, forget on demand, forget HD, boxing is my main passion and not being able to access a dedicated boxing channel is too much for me to take.

If anyone knows something is in the pipeline, but can't post here, please PM me. I just called Virgin customer services who know nothing about the channel. I don't want to leave Virgin because I have a sweet deal on my package however there comes a time when a difficult decision has to be made, and I'm about a day away from making it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 
Having browsed the forum for many many months, I was forced to join to make use of the really useful "ignore" function, but there appears to be no escaping the repeated posts as they are either "quoted" by other members or you end up with a page of:

"This message is hidden because xxxxxxxxxxx is on your ignore list."

I have liked browsing and getting information from this forum up until the last few weeks, where someones posts has bordered on complete spamming, repeating everything he or anyone else says, questioning Media Boy on typing errors or information or repeating several questions over and over again.

Rather than tell members to use the ignore function, can a warning not be given to the spammer....half of the information mentioned is not factual or backed up from key sources like MBs or it is always argumentative from the poster in question or what he would really really like (and now that Sky Movies Classics HD is launching, its something else he wants - christ there is only so many hours in day to watch TV and I think a few hundred channels is enough at the moment...).

Also - isnt Sky Movies Classic - just going to upscale classic movies that were not filmed in HD - which the TiVo or some TVs do anyway.....so whats the fascination in having a Classic HD channel????

Sorry to rant, and I didnt join to actually post much, but basically this is a goodbye totally (no more browsing from me on here) as I am getting fed up of having to browse about 20 pages now to get some useful information on what is coming soon.

Thanks for your many months of information Media Boy.

Andy.


PS - to keep this on topic, my TiVo has reset twice this evening....is it a sign of attempted updates??? perhaps I might have a channel 890, 891, 892, 893 appear....

:) ;)

Good bye.

Dhansak, you should not let one member's annoying personality force you to leave our community - however at the end of the day, it is your choice.

"This message is hidden because xxxxxxxxxxx is on your ignore list."

I have liked browsing and getting information from this forum up until the last few weeks, where someones posts has bordered on complete spamming, repeating everything he or anyone else says, questioning Media Boy on typing errors or information or repeating several questions over and over again.

Rather than tell members to use the ignore function, can a warning not be given to the spammer....half of the information mentioned is not factual or backed up from key sources like MBs or it is always argumentative from the poster in question or what he would really really like (and now that Sky Movies Classics HD is launching, its something else he wants - christ there is only so many hours in day to watch TV and I think a few hundred channels is enough at the moment...).

Also - isnt Sky Movies Classic - just going to upscale classic movies that were not filmed in HD - which the TiVo or some TVs do anyway.....so whats the fascination in having a Classic HD channel????

Sorry to rant, and I didnt join to actually post much, but basically this is a goodbye totally (no more browsing from me on here) as I am getting fed up of having to browse about 20 pages now to get some useful information on what is coming soon.

Thanks for your many months of information Media Boy.

Andy.


PS - to keep this on topic, my TiVo has reset twice this evening....is it a sign of attempted updates??? perhaps I might have a channel 890, 891, 892, 893 appear....

:) ;)

Good bye.

Even older films have a much higher native resolution than 1080p due to them being shown in the cinema and the way they are recorded. :)

Updates would never be done in the evening, plus there aren't any TiVo ones at the moment anyway. If it keeps happening, ring the Faults team.

Those channels are only for network testing and are hidden to prevent your box showing them.

he will get the message one day. Im all up for reading good info and coming soon news and Media Boy does a fantastic job doing it and i feel for him when you have people like HD Boy posting rubbish and asking the same questions. Also he had no need to correct MB on a channel number, he does a lot of work and alot of posts so he is entitled to make a typo and people should not point small stuff out like that. Is there any way of actaully blcoking HD Boy?

To everyone apart from HB Boy, keep up the good work

It was Glenn, and he said he was told November....

Quoting unsubstantiated comments in another forum or blog isn't very helpful - repetition of unsubstantiated claims only devalues any valid information you may provide, if I can offer you some advice.

Don't you know how HD actually works? Those old movies were shot on film which have a much higher resolution that HD requires so any old Movie shot on film is essentially HD. Some Blu Rays of classic films actually look way better than some new digitally shot HD films!

Yeah in terms of HD content but not in viewing figures.

Yesterday I had to watch the Man United game in SD which sucked especially when the icon came up saying upgrade to HD now.

The PQ was poor might be cause I'm used to watching HD channels mostly these days.

I mostly watch Sky Sports HD 1&2 cause most of the top sport is on there but sometimes like yesterday it's on Sky sports 3&4. So having 3&4 in HD will come in handy.

Sky Sports News HD will be nice to have but not a big deal. Sky News HD I don't care about cause it's a horrible channel.

WTF? Does anyone know if Box Nation really are in talks with Virgin? I e-mailed Box Nation 2 days ago asking for more info regarding their launch on virgin but nothing back so far.

As crazy as this might sound I will have to leave Virgin if this isn't coming to cable. Forget movies, forget football, forget on demand, forget HD, boxing is my main passion and not being able to access a dedicated boxing channel is too much for me to take.

If anyone knows something is in the pipeline, but can't post here, please PM me. I just called Virgin customer services who know nothing about the channel. I don't want to leave Virgin because I have a sweet deal on my package however there comes a time when a difficult decision has to be made, and I'm about a day away from making it.
An now the Virgin logo's are back on the Box Nation website once more:

http://www.boxnation.tv/

I wish someone would confirm what is happening. The channel launches in 2 days time.

The big one to get must be Sky Atlantic - ITV 2, 3, 4 and SKy Sports we at least get in SD, Sky Atlantic we don't get at all.

I am not interested in Box Nation but sympathise with those who are and are desparately waiting to hear if VM will have it, it reminds me of the Sky Atlantic launch - sadly I wouldn't be surprised if a similar outcome comes along.

What I'm most curious about, is which HD channels will become available to which tiers, i.e. do these new ones only apply to those with L and XL packages or are M+ getting a few of them in addition to the regular BBC HD, BBC ONE HD, ITV 1 HD, 4 HD, 5 HD.

BenMcr 28-09-2011 15:09
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 
Personally, I can't see M+ getting more than the six HD channels it has anytime soon.

Well, I think we only need to look at how VM organise the channels today to tell us how it will be in the future. The current channel pack list is here:

http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-tv/channels.html

M pack will always closely mirror Freeview. As Freeview will only have 5 HD channels, that's what will be on M too. I reckon Film4 HD will move at some point.

Looking at the list, all the other terrestrial HD channels (BBC/ITV/CH4&5) are in the L pack but no other HD channels beyond that.

I think the L pack will contain all the rest of the terrestrial HD channels when/if launched on cable ie ITV2 HD etc, but everything else will go in XL.

With XL containing all non-premium HD channnels, it's become the HD pack by default. I'd expect most of the SD channels not currently available in the L pack to move there to highlight this fact even more.

You can imagine a future VM advert saying, "if you want HD go XL, with a tivo base." I'm sure some marketing person will be paid a fortune for coming up with such a "original" idea...:)

BBC ONE HD, BBC HD, ITV 1 HD, 4 HD, 5 HD and Film 4 HD are in the M+ package. I see ITV 2,3,4 HD being on the XL pack when/if launched in november because ITV have put them behind a paywall. Watch HD, Good Food HD and Eden HD will probably go in the XL pack. Dave is on freeview So Dave HD might go on the M+ package The same as Film4 HD did. We should soon know what tv packs the UKTV HD channels will be on.

According to Frank Warren

"It is now all systems go for the channel that can be found on Sky platform channel 456 and very soon on Virgin."

Good Times!

"BoxNation is setting a precedent in that it's the first dedicated boxing channel in Britain. It will be free-to-air before becoming a subscription channel by the end of the year.
It will show eight live events per month plus provide up-to-date news, magazine features and show some of the great old fights from yesteryear for £10 per month."

Bad Times!
