Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

An Amazon Streaming App. I'm guessing we'll still need our Amazon subscriptions though, right?;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I was a little confused by this - what else would it be other than a streaming app, the same as Netflix, BBC i-player, etc? It was never going to be a TV channel, although we will get access to it by way of a channel number.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I'm confused now too hahaha...I thought MB was on to something with his winky emoji lol

Been a long day, sorry :td:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

What chance of a Google play app? I'm thinking none?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Unlikely l would say.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I see no reason why not. New apps are set to replace new channels in my view of the future.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

More cahnce of Max watching one of the shopping channels, however never say never regarding google video though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Various things lead me to believe that this is an error and that it will be Rishtey Cineplex that's launching.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No prices info was given.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wonder if those subscribing to Amazon via the TiVo will get a discount, as has been suggested for Netflix 4K?

Just found this about ID

Virgin movies to be taken over by Wuaki??? Can anyone confirm this as its a new source.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Wonder if this is anything to do with it?

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/s...php?t=33703866

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Not impossible; Wuaki did acquire KnowHow Movies from Dixons and there has been other consolidation eg TalkTalk buying Blinkbox.
But VM and Vubiquity only signed a renewal deal on 21 September covering films and other services http://www.vubiquity.com/news/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Could be Wuaki buying vubiquity then? Or vubiquity buying Wuaki.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Google Play is on the Roku, why could it not appear on the eos box?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I think you and theone2k10 are talking about different things - you mean Google Play (music, films, tv, books) whilst he means the Play Store from Google which contains Android apps.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

i'm on about the app store bud which i presumed thek original query was about.
I did say never say never though about google movies service which is what you're on about?
If so you are indeed correct it is on roku and also accesable via a pc browser too so it could show up on vm tivo in the future.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Sorry, I was talking about the movie streaming side of things rather than the app store

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Me too!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Any more on fox news launching?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

None.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It's a very odd one. It's been testing for months... makes no sense

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Maybe it's being kept as a Sky exclusive until after the US election? (I know it's online too.)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

And Amazon tests from 1st November and comes online on the 10th...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Fingers crossed!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It's not been put on Freesat either.

Is it available on Sky? If so, maybe you're right Andrew.

Other channels have been known to broadcast off the EPG for ages before being added though eg Hum Masala.

Re: VM Ireland.

I've seen a report that Irish TV are in trouble (no link was provided).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

FOX News is a subscription channel on SKY part of their basic package, even online you need a tv provider log in to watch (usa one you do anyway).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Cheers, I had assumed that it would be FTA.

Are both the SD & HD versions encrypted?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

There is no HD version on Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Cheers, so Sky customers are paying for an SD news channel :shocked:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No hd version in uk as far as i know. USA has hd version you need a tv login for both sd and hd.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You can watch it for free on live streaming via YouTube

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No, it's just part of the basic Sky subscription package. What he meant was it's not free to air.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

That's what I meant!

You mean you haven't been watching QVC in HD? :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well if Fox News suddenly arrive MB might quickly add that to the vote Vince.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Can the best channel launch include apps? If so I reckon Amazon will win though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

1/10 on l would say according to the bookies but then again bookies can sometimes get it wrong.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

What else has arrived? Spike? Universal HD, some Freeview movie channels? I reckon Amazon beats these assuming it launches before MB's deadline.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

For me, Universal HD beats Amazon.

I already have Amazon app on my PS4 and TV. Universal HD was a good channel missing from our line-up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Ha yes Den you know me well. That would win my vote straight away!

Aye i agree. I wouldnt vote amazon. Firstly i have to pay for it and secondly itll be slow so its much better to use the ps4!

Appears to be a straight choice of spike or universal HD since i cant think of much else... Are we able to add a poll to vote in the thread like we usually do or are we no longer allowed to do this?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Personally l would vote for Amazon if it arrive pretty quickly on the STB..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I guess it comes down to which TV package customers have.

Those with XL may vote for Universal as it was a missing HD channel.
Those without XL may vote Amazon as it would put most apps in one place.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

But what if we get a discount with Amazon UHD? That will surely be much better value.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Price rises :p:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

#didntseethatonecoming ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Price rises sadly are a way of life and the TV providers are no different to any other company in that respect.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

OB, UHD content on Amazon doesn't cost any extra like it does on Netflix.
You just need a 4K tv and your Amazon subscription

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Very true.

Only if you're willing to passively accept them. Myself and many others (with various providers) are now paying less than what we were paying previously.

If customers are daft enough to pay it, VM are going to be daft enough to put their prices up...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

We don't passively accept it but my point is price rises happen in all facets of our economy and in general life but the key is to talk to the company involved instead of some adopting a inertia policy in which they do exactly diddly squat as nothing will ever change then.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It's simple. Without price increases, there would be no inflation.
Our wonderful Canadian, the venerable Carney, is projecting increasing inflation in the coming years so expect further price increases.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Exactly. Price rises are mostly optional ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You can vote for an app but only if:

1) It has launch in 2016.
2) Have an EPG Channel number.

It look like we are not set to have an round 2 as just one channel name has been given to us by PM.

We have just been told tonight that AMAZON is "ready to launch".

Amazon is set to appear on Virgin UK Channel 205 on Thursday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Any idea if a discount will be offered for VM customers?

I agree with all the sentiments about Christmas channels in October/November- it's totally ridiculous.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No other info was given.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Cheers. I asked as someone asked me if Amazon was on the TiVo, as they want to change from Netflix when they get their services installed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

My personal preference is Netflix I wasnt impressed with Amazon but its good that it will be on the Virgin platform for those that want it.

Im still hoping we will get History Hd not that there is much history on it but would be good have Ice road truckers in HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

amazon for a few quid on virgin media would make up for all the rubbish price increases... but i very much doubt we'll get any discount!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

There's a rumour that Netflix 4K will be discounted on the V6 and will be cheaper than Netflix HD. If this turns out to be true, I wonder if Amazon will also discount their product?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well did those who subscribed to Netflix when it arrived on Virgin get 6 months free Vince?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No but there have been offers for 6 months of Netflix at times. When VM struck a deal with them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

will you need Tivo to use it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I can see Amazon and Netflix doing some pricing discounts but maybe not until the new year. Certainly a great month for VM - 4G finally released, Amazon on its way and a new box on soft launch.
I suspect December will be a quiet month for everyone except theone2k10 who will be wondering how he can slip in a yuletide quip about price rises. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Yes one would imagine but that is unlikely to be confirmed until it launches due to NDA's.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Yes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Amazon Instant Video is a quality service. For the past 2 years Amazon have offered a price cut in the annual subscription in the week leading up to their Black Friday sale. Last year it was £59.00 for a full years worth of Prime.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/a...friday-uk-deal

Well worth putting the money aside over the next 2 weeks in anticipation of another price drop. Works out at £4.92 per month, a saving of £20.00.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

i never got that den as already had a netflix subscription.

I probably should have just signed up for a new one ...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You were able to apply the six month credit to an existing Netflix account.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

And if you have access to a student/academic email address (ending in .ac.uk) you get Amazon Prime half price (just under £40) per year, which includes Amazon Video, Amazon Music, and unlimited cloud storage for photos.


Bargain!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wouldn't be surprised if vm get some kind of deal Amazon instant video and Netflix at £10 for both, this would however exclude Amazon prime service.
I will see if any sources have any info about possible deals and reveal what i can subject to DNPs.

---------- Post added at 12:51 ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 ----------

No once signed up you can use the app on various devices such as games console, smart tv, roku etc.
Tivo will be the only VM box to support it though it will not be on the VHD (do they still issue this box?).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

For me even at full price Amazon Prime is pretty good value that said I would like to see them add more Original content to their streaming library it seems a little things on the ground.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Thats what put me of not enough original content but they seem to be working on that. Another thing I did not like was that some of the films and programmes were at an additional cost and not included in the prime subscription. I prefer Netflix but thats just my preference although at the moment I do not use netflix through the Tivo due to speed issue but hopefully that will be sorted soon one way or the other.
