Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
Looks like Colors HD is coming to VM.
The owners have received an Ofcom licence to broadcast in HD on cable & satellite. It's not yet known if this will replace or compliment the existing SD service. Wasn't this a standalone channel before moving into M+ (or the new equivalent)? This is a Hindi channel and would only be the third Asian channel to broadcast in HD, after the launches of &TV HD and Star Plus HD (don't know if VM have these, or if they're satellite only). |

If Colors is launching an HD Channel (As first reported by Bizasia) it don't mean it set to launch on Virgin Media UK any time soon. Viacom18 has still to be given to licence for Rishtey Cineplex to launch on Freeview (We look it up on the Ofcom web site early on today). |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

I've since found out that Ofcom no longer require different licenses for SD & HD channels, so it's possible that the SD variant may continue alongside any HD emission and agree that there is no guarantee that this will come to VM (not that I imagine many will be too bothered!) Re: RT. As things stand, I think that there's more chance that RT will be removed from VM Ireland than be added to the UK service!! |

Re: RT on VM Ireland.
This article (courtesy of Damian) says that RBS/NatWest have denied closing or freezing the RT bank accounts: http://www.scotsman.com/news/politic...unts-1-4260808 Apparently, a redacted letter to a supplier of RT was used to spread this false rumour by RT. Did they really think that they would get away with this? I don't think that, even if it were to be true, that we need any lessons from Russia about free speech. If this is the level of 'journalism' that they are stooping to, they should be stopped from broadcasting to the UK and Ireland anyway. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
..... I watch Russia Today on Freeview and I have to disagree with revoking their licence.
Even if a viewer did not know that RT was a Putin propaganda machine, they would know after a few minutes of viewing. With the problems that exist with Russia, I think its useful to get their "take" on things, however warped they maybe. I think its important to see what the Russian people are watching everyday on their screens and what Putin is telling them and hiding from them. So no, I don't think it should be banned but what should be banned is some of our fellow "countrymen" who appear on the channel regularly. As they clearly love Putin so much, we should invite them to live there with him and never come back here... |

I like the sound of UHD Discovery, that would be awesome.
Hope they give some more info about what 4K content plans they have. Planet Earth 2 in 4K would be amazing if that becomes available on a one-off BBC channel. Would be great to showcase what the new box could do as well. |

As of tonight: -Monday - Nickelodeon will be shown from 6am. -Tuesday - Cartoon Network will be shown from 6am. Our V+ HD box only show listing up to Tuesday night at 1am. |

Cartoon Network ends at 5:59 Wednesday on channel 100, then on 31/10/16 it's TCM for the day. My EPG only goes up until 2am on 3/12/16. Don't forget that it's possible to record from these channels and watch the programmes after the Freeview ends. It's only Sky channels that don't allow you to watch recorded content after you stop subscribing (or any Freeview period ends) to one of their channels. The full version of the Exorcist is on TCM at 9pm on 31/10/16 for Halloween for anyone who wants to see it. Edit: Just realised that there's more on offer than what's on channel 100: These channels will be temporarily available in all packages: From 5 October until 4 November: TCM TCM HD TCM +1 Cartoon Network Cartoon Network +1 Cartoonito Boomerang Boomerang +1 From 7 October until 6 November: Nick Nick +1 Nick HD Nick Jr Nick Jr Too Nicktoons Effective from 1 September until 1 December CBS Action CBS Drama CBS Reality CBS Reality +1 Horror Horror +1 |
Viacom and VM strike new carriage deal with apps
"Virgin Media customers are going to be the first to access the new Play apps released by Viacom for its MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Comedy Central channels.
The new multiyear agreement with Virgin Media in the UK and Ireland includes the networks, alongside new channels, catch up and boxed sets. Channel 5’s Milkshake will make its debut in November, while entertainment channel Spike will also be made available for the first time." Not sure what they mean about Spike which is on channel 154. http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2016/...sign-new-deal/ |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
My guess is that this deal was signed months ago and any linear channels that were agreed as part of the deal have already launched (eg Spike, 5 Star+1).

It does say: The partnership ensures Virgin Media customers will continue to enjoy favourite networks like MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon as well as bringing new channels, additional catch up TV and box sets to Virgin Media’s TV platform. However, they may mean 'channels' in the broader sense, or they may be referring to the additional channels on TV Anywhere. |

I am now starting to get really fed up with VM. Firstly our bill arrived today, and increase of £5.00 which is staggering. As there is nothing new with VM
We get told the same old stuff from VM. No increase in channels, and yet we 'are' told BT Sport is FREE. What a load of crap. VM have put the prices is up to cover the cost of BT Sport. We are told that ' we give our customers the best entertainment possible' but at what cost. I for one does not have a bottomless pocket. |

All the news outlets are reporting that AT&T is looking to buy Time Warner with a deal as soon as this weekend.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ti...-idUSKCN12L1Y0 Although not directed related to VM, it will have knock on effects with other companies looking to consolidate. It can only be a matter of time before either John Malone joins up his various interests into a integrated company, or, someone else like Apple comes along and buys him out. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
Isn't it nice to be thought of.
Yes, I am still with VM. BUT, have Sky Tv too. My wife is a VM to the core. On Sky, we just have the Basics. (that was a compromise) As VM gave my wife a deal that she couldn't turn down. BUT, then we had an email to say the price had gone up. Much to my wife's annoyance. No we VM and just basics on Sky |

If Local TV does survive as a network, I can see one dominant player (apart from the STV stations) networking programmes with budget local news opt outs. Perhaps Made Television LTD will become the Carlton/Granada of Local TV :D I think that they would have been better quasi networking a FTA channel that's not on DTT. Apparently, there is a Technical Difficulties' caption on air. Facebook statement: "Due to technical difficulties our news programme is unable to broadcast. We will be back as soon as possible." Similar message on twitter. Also, That's Lancashire is said to have been the same for the past month. What's That's Lancashire showing on VM (if it's carried)? |
