Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

A new SVOD service that contains content entirely devoted to royalty launches in the UK.

One to avoid in this house, I think!

Virgin Media strengthens Netflix alliance with integrated billing

Quote:

Virgin Media has laid out plans to further strengthen its UK partnership with SVOD streaming Netflix. From October, all new and existing Virgin TV customers who don’t yet have Netflix will be able to add and pay for Netflix through their Virgin Media bill, giving them an easier way to access to the content on the streaming service.

In addition to the new billing development, Virgin said that customers with a V6 box, Netflix Premium account and a compatible TV can now watch Netflix programming in 4K UHD and High Dynamic Range (HDR) following a software update for the V6 box. The V6 is half the size of the previous TiVo box with 10 times the power and was built from the ground up to run apps such as Netflix, according to Virgin. To date, 1.6 million of Virgin TV’s 3.8 million customers have taken up the V6 box.

I thought the V6 box was able to show HDR quality.

4K has been available since day 1, but HDR has only just been enabled in the latest software update.

The music bit is fine, but a very high charge for the remaining content. I can't see how this would be worth so much more than Netflix - in fact, I don't think any of this original content is particularly attractive to an adult audience.

Like I say if you have no interest in music it's defo pricey.

I must have read the article incorrectly, then. I thought the £11.99 was just for the additional YouTube Originals.

Not so bad, then! I have Amazon Music at the moment, so maybe time to re-consider.
