So does LFC TV now have two streams on VM, both saying "Channel no longer broadcasting"?:confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

The other stream was removed from Virgin Media boxes.

MB Views: Virgin Media can save money and add up to 29 new channels.

In the last few months Sony Pictures Television has took over CSC Media Group and Viacom has also took over Channel 5 so Virgin Media must be paying SPT and Viacom two times an month.

How do you think that adding these channels will save them money? :confused:

It's been awfully quiet in here the past few days, not that I have anything to report (it's unlikely that I will be able to garner any new information in the run up to Christmas either with everybody being so busy).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Does anyone have any new info on when Sky News HD & Sky Sports News HD will launch? Last I heard was early 2015. It'll be nice if it was added on New Years Eve so I can watch the fireworks from London at midnight in all the HD glory! :D

Oh hang on... I'll tune into Sky 1 HD instead. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

From what l hear early 2015 is still the case for these two HD channels to arrive Dave.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Ok thanks, I'll keep my fingers crossed then!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

Or even easier BBC 1 HD or BBC News HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

I'm sure I read somewhere that they are both due to launch on New Years Day which seems an odd time to launch....although it will be on a Thursday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

I believe that channels can be launched remotely, negating the need for staff to have to go in during the holidays.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

An Virgin Source says both are set for January launch.

Reuse some of the save money on getting the rights to more channels from SPT or Viacom.

Do Viacom want 5* +1 and Spike TV on Virgin Media?

All info I have on Channels launching soon are on line right now - see Virgin TV on my Signature.

Media Boy HQ is starting to think Virgin Media may not launch any more UK Wide Channels in 2014. Due to that big TiVo update and Virgin being busy with moving Smallworld Cable into the Virgin Media Family home.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

This will be the outcome of new talks that commenced in 2013, and given that it was originally expected that all the missing channels would be on the agenda, it will be interesting to see what else might be coming along with the launch of these two channels (eg Sky 1+1).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 4
 

No confirmed news on what will happen to all the missing Smallworld Channels when Virgin axe the Smallworld brand and channel lineup.

Q) What channels are Virgin Media viewers missing?

A) Here is the list of channels only on Smallworld.

-Sky1 +1*
-MTV +1*
-Travel Channel +1
-Food Network +1
-Movies4Men*
-MTV Classic*
-Channel AKA
-Now Music

*Media Boy HQ think Virgin Media will add some channels - the ones with an star besize it - to all areas in 2015 due to the channel owners being BSkyB, Sony and Viacom.

Where does this saved money come from?

Yes
