Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Was wondering about this, the European football show and Serie a especially, obviously when there is overspill, Sunday nights for example, they have an extra channel to utilise

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Media Boy HQ can now confrim that BT Sport Europe
and BT Sport Europe HD tests has started on Virgin Media today. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Media Boy Sources say tonight that BT Sport Europe may launch on Virgin channel 522 and BT Sport Europe HD may launch on Virgin channel 528. We have been told that there are a lot of (around 20) EPG changes set to happen next week. ALL INFO MAY CHANGE.

MUTV is on 528 |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
As I said before - I would expect the BT channels to appear in the following order:
BT Sports 1 BT Sports Europe BT Sports 2 BT Sports/ESPN So there may be two blocks in the EPG with HD and SD channels grouped together. This is what BT have done on all other platforms. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Well let's hope they leave room in the epg for MUTV HD, it's Utd v Barcelona tomorrow night, a match that deserves to be in HD, there are people out there willing to pay extra for this service and it is being denied them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Sky customers wanting MUTV in HD do pay extra for the HD pack.
On VM the HD extra fee is only for the Sky channels - but on Sky you have to pay extra for all non-free HD channels. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Do we know how BT Sport Europe will be showing all 8 champions league matches at the same time (red button?) and if that will be available on VM?

The big clue here is that while Gary Linker is hosting the coverage of their top pick games on BT SPORT EUROPE on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (not sure about Europa on Thursdays) you also have Jake Humphrey hosting the second choice matches. I can't see them investing in a team with pundits etc.. for red button only coverage. I'd also bet most of the games shown on Showcase will be selected from the second choice Tuesday matches in the early rounds and during this they heavily promote the Wednesday games to try and get public to sign up. They showed the Celtic Champions League Qualifier on BT Sport 1 last week and I noticed the new studio set up, very similar to the Sky set up. I wager one game will be on hosted on location and the other from the studio. |

If other UK companies are getting hold of HBO content, doesn't this lower the value of Sky Atlantic? Just thinking that maybe VM will be able to negotiate a better price based on this. |

I noticed that towards the end of last season that they moved to the pitch side studio used for Fletch & Sav for half time and post match. That worked much better in my view. The pitch-side stuff is very much a Jake thing and apparently not popular with the pundits. As to Owen I'm with you on replacing him, have horrible feeling it will be Andy Townsend who we'll see more of rather than Andy Gray. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Quote:
As for Owen will they replace him or will they not want to admit they've made an error in the first place by hiring him? I'd imagine he's on big money too so how long will his contract be for? I'd even take Townsend over him! |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
Quote:
As to Townsend, no better than Owen in my view, just a different type of annoying. Mind you if you are drawing up a list of potential co-commentators not on SKY who would you pick after Gray? Sorry in danger of going way off topic. P.S - La Liga UK Rights bidding gone to second round after SKY bid lower than before and BT showed interest. Would certainly increase the value of BT Sport Europe. |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
.... It will be surprising if they swap the HD versions of the Sky Sports channels around. 511 onwards is much easier to use than keying in 501. In fact I'm surprised that VM and Sky never started their channels with no "11" to begin with and removed the first 10 places from the EPGs, ie:
111 - BBC1 211 - 311 etc |
