More channel number changes will follow l suspect.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

RXTVlog has said it's going to be a Sky Basic and so part of all their packs. I'll have to go look for the press release.

---------- Post added at 10:00 ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 ----------

Well RXTVlog have posted more information, so I didn't need to find the press release.
https://www.rxtvlog.com/2020/01/sky-...-channels.html

The basics, Documentaries will be showing HBO and Showtime content along with Sky Original content.

Sky Nature will show their existing Attenborough content from Sky1 and content from LoveNature.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Press release here

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

The question is MM is are Sky Documentaries and Sky Nature just exclusive to the Sky Platform..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I'd imagine Sky Nature would be exclusive at the very least, due to VM already having access to that content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Sky already has access to Love Nature content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Both will be on nowtv too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I think that Love Nature will close on Virgin and it will be replaced with Sky Nature, Blue Ant has already closed ZooMoo in the UK, I think they will withdraw from the UK market and depend on a content deal with Sky instead, Virgin only added Love Nature because of a dispute with UKTV, which led to Eden being dropped. At least with Sky Comedy, it has opened up some of HBO's content on Virgin, but just not dramas, I hope this will be the same for Sky Documentaries.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Do we know if sky comedy has a lot of on demand stuff? I was hoping previous seasons of curb will be on there since theyre not on now tv, amazon or netflix but i'm thinking no?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

VM has also been using LoveNature content for their Virgin Media Ultra HD channel, so I doubt it would be as straightforward as VM only getting LoveNature content via Sky in the future. And Blue Ant will get a larger cut dealing with VM direct than if a 3rd party redistributes their content, as obviously there are less people to pay. Sky would have to make it worthwhile Blue Ant changing that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

On Sky it seems quite a lot of the Sky Comedy series are available On Demand Curb your Enthusiasm certainly is.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

New international channel testing according to JJ20X on Forumbox.

Hum Masala on M/Player, More, Mix, M+, L/Fun, XL /Full House.

No channel number given.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

That new channel is temporary.

The EPG data on DigitalBitRate says

...so it's a Red Button channel and a Pop-Up channel, the latter implying its temporary.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I assume nothing is coming soon since no one is talking.....

Isnt it weird we got Sky comedy and Sky Crime but havent got atlantic still (even though we now can watch half of the stuff on comedy now) and apparently arent getting the future channels sky are launching.

Just seems a bit childish from sky

VM: "Hey so can we have atlantic since game of thrones is over and youve given us curbs, ballers, last week tonight etc on sky comedy?"
Sky: "NO"
VM: "But it makes no sense now?"
Sky: "You wouldnt pay the millions we wanted originally....so no"
VM: "But surely more people with access to the channel will get your ad revenue up"
Sky" NO!!" *stamps foot and runs away with hands on ears*

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Oh it must be SKYS fault because golden VM can do no wrong eh?
Maybe it's VM who's being childish?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Where did you hear this?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

In his imagination, the only channel that won't be on vm from SKY is Atlantic for now, but SKY are open to talks it's vm playing childish games.
But ofcourse it's all Skys fault, just like it's all BTs fault that AMC never arrived on vm, also was all Viacoms fault and UKTVs fault etc, never VMs fault according to some on here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Based on TiVo EPG info Jewellery Maker look set to close on Monday. But Sewing Street look set to launch from Monday on Channel 756.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

keeping Game of thrones on a exclusivity on a channel that consistantly been pirated didn't make sense.. it only made it more popular because it was the most pirated program of all time, if they just put the channel on all platforms maybe sky would have got more revenue for that program they got greedy oh well its their loss!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Another who seems to know the ins and outs of vm and Skys talks.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Nah lid i learnt it from the sky press release:

https://www.skymedia.co.uk/news/sky-...nd-sky-nature/

Has no mention of Virgin Media or anything else but does mention Now Tv. One would at this point assume its not coming to virgin media unless we hear differently. At this point its no.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Still doesn't mean SKY is with holding them, they are just announced channels so maybe VM and SKY haven't discussed it yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Jeez, we are losing that must-watch wonderful channel, but wait , we are getting an even better one!.....:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)

It's utter garbage mate, filling the airwaves with brain numbing dross!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

According to JJ20X on Forumbox the tier codes for MTV HD, now the free period has ended, are the same as the SD version.

So there's nothing stopping the SD versions of Channel 5, Paramount, Comedy Central and MTV being removed, they've already swapped their EPG positions.

Space for another ViacomCBS channel to launch in HD maybe. They still have those apps to launch, the ones mentioned last year when their deal was renewed. My5, Pluto TV and an MTV one if I remember correctly.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I wonder when/if ViacomCBS wll; get the licence back to use CBS in the UK? It's currently licensed to AMC.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

What you might dislike there are others who probably like that channel.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Since my last post about the listing on Channel 756 it has been updated and the TiVo EPG info now says that Jewellery Maker will stay on Virgin Media after all. But with Sewing Street listing appearing on Virgin we think it look set to launch soon when it also launch on Freeview.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

On Freeview - the two share a IPTV red button service where you load the interactive service and pick the channel you want. Could be the schedules got confused.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

When is La Liga TV being added to TVgo?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Sewing Street and now this. It really is a golden period for virgin tv ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Wow so glad I have a V6 with all these great channels to binge watch !!!! Thanks be to who ever for Netflix:erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

If Virgin Media UK was told to remove the SD Channels you listed it would have happen on January 7th.

ViacomCBS do not have any more HD Channels broadcasting right now.

Note: Paramount Network HD and MTV Live HD are only broadcasting in UK on Virgin Media.

Has Paramount Network +1 launch yet on Sky?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I agree that is likely the timing, if it was going to happen, for it to occur. I was just saying that because on the day I posted what you quoted the Free To All Month had just expired, and that if ViacomCBS had some strange reasoning for keeping the SD channels during that offer, but not after, then that period ended that day.

People keep saying they want to launch 5USA HD, though I've never read anything other than talk on forums, never official sources saying that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Thanks for info.

---------- Post added at 19:30 ---------- Previous post was at 19:24 ----------

That will cheer up some of the Victor Meldrew's on here.:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Thanks Media Boy. Shame even new channels aren't tagged with New on DigitalBitRate these days, maybe VM are being deliberately tricksey so we don't notice that easily...though I can't see them being bothered enough to do it, it's probably a side effect of something else.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

You're a diamond geezer.

No news as to whether SyFy is closing though, or just being moved.

Also no news about VM distribution.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I have a feeling it might be getting the boot, there is little to no reference to it on the Sky Media site (which sells advertising) and their social media feeds have gone silent since January before which there was posts practically daily. It's sister channels E! & Movies24 are still listed on Sky Media.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Unsure if it’s fate is sealed in the short term - Twilight Zone is apparently set to start on 25/2. If they were winding it down, I’d find it unlikely we’d see any new shows starting on the channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I can't see any change to the prominence of SYFY on the Sky Media website, it's being promoted just as it has for as long as I can remember:

https://www.skymedia.co.uk/channels/syfy/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

SyFy is owned by NBC, and isnt shutting down.

They are currently airing The Magicians, which has a good chance of renewal.
Wynonna Earp is back in the Summer (possibly next year as well), Van Helsing is back in the Autumn, plus they have new shows in development.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

SYFY will not be shut down it is one of the top pay channels in uk.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Those talking about it possibly shutting down mean the UK version, not the original US channel.

NBC and Sky are both owned by Comcast these days.

The latest BARB ratings have the UK version with a 0.18 share (inc +1) , the top Sky entertainment channel is Sky One with a 0.88 share (inc +1).

Universal Channel (also a Sky/Comcast channel) had a 0.18 share in January 20th-26th week prior to being shut.

I watch SyFy UK regularly and hope it survives, but it's not a sure thing the UK channel will survive if they are willing to cull a similarly rating channel.

https://www.barb.co.uk/viewing-data/...g-summary-new/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

According to Digital Bitrate there is a new channel testing - HZNFATST - http://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.ph...&sec=0&lang=en

They aren't giving anything away by the name they are using. Maybe it's the Turkish channel called Hazan Live TV. Or possibly a barker channel for the new Horizon interface?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

According to data posted by JJ20X on Forumbox there is a Baby TV label on it currently. That could be an error though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I've just checked JJ20X's post - epg 666 - "Devilishly" cunning VM are trying to conceal the true identity and even the category genre type :devsmoke:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I think if you look at it in the context of Sky’s portfolio, both it and E! are fairly distinctive from the other channels - plus we are seeing some new shows on both (Temptation Island and the aforementioned Twilight Zone as well as a second run for Westworld) as well the shows being offered the same way (all episodes available) so there’s likely some life in both for now even as they align closer to the Sky portfolio.

Look like SYFY UK is getting axe in the UK to me.

I am really starting to think that E! is safe but Challenge will be axe to make way for Sky Nature to launch on Virgin and Sky.

Challenge slot on Freeview will be use for Pick +1 (It broadcasting on Freeview HD right now anyway).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Challenge is surprisingly successful. I can't see Sky axing a 0.45 rating channel. That's more than twice SyFy. And Challenge is probably very cheap, relatively, to run given the content.

I don't think SyFy UK will be axed either. As has been mentioned, they are still showing new content. They'd be doing what they did with Universal Channel if it was going anywhere.

Sky2 is a gonner in my opinion, it's a 0.07 rating and no identify.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Well I did see on an other web site that Sky are said to be testing an Sky Documentaries HD channel so you are maybe right.

I just said SYFY due to Sky Documentaries channel getting it channel number on Sky and I did not know that about Challenge.

Base on BARB ratings any of the following channels is set to close for Sky Documentaries and Sky Nature to launch.

Sky Two

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

When reading next weeks Radio Times today I saw an ad for Virgin Media in it. It listed some HD Channels with one of them being Universal TV HD but it closed. So I read it T&C and it says something like "Information Right as of January 30th".

Virgin Media keep up.:D

HISTORY to become Sky HISTORY
 

https://advanced-television.com/2020...story-channel/

A+E Networks UK and Sky will launch the co-branded Sky History channel this spring. The channel will be available on linear TV and on-demand in the UK and Ireland, and will also be present on streaming service NOW TV for the first time.

Zai Bennett, Managing Director of Content at Sky, added: “The launch of Sky History will build on our existing channel portfolio and complement new channel brands Sky Documentaries and Sky Nature, which will also be coming in Spring 2020. The continuation of our strong partnership with A+E Networks UK will mean more investment in premium original content and make it easier for our customers to find the shows they want to watch.”

A+E Networks suite of channels also includes Sky HISTORY2 (the former HISTORY2), Lifetime and BLAZE.

All channels will continue to broadcast on Sky, Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk and be managed and operated by the A+E Networks UK team from their Hammersmith offices.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Makes you wonder if Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries will be rebranded partnerships rather than whole new channels, given this Sky History announcement. Maybe they just haven't announced who their other partners are.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I’d have imagined that had those channels been joint ventures they would have already said - no real need to keep it a secret. Sky Docs is really just an extension of their current entertainment channels and relying on their ongoing content deals with HBO and Showtime as well as their originals and their own acquisitions like the Hillary Clinton film.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I see you're going to be able to watch sky Atlantic on BT soon

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news...anges-17787601

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

BT customers have gained the Sky channels but look set to lose 20 others:

Alibi
Animal Planet
CNN
Comedy Central Extra
Crime + Investigation
Discovery Science
Discovery Turbo
E!
Eden
Eurosport 1
Eurosport 2
Investigation Discovery
Lifetime
Movies 24
MTV Music
MTV Classic
Nat Geo
TLC
TCM Movies
W

None of the above are included in BT's new packages so it's only a matter of time until existing customers lose 20 channels... I wouldn't be happy!

They should get History and History 2 when they rebrand as Sky History and Sky History 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes, BT subscribers will be able to get Sky Atlantic via Now TV.

It will be interesting to see whether Sky have also relented to enable VM to access SA through VOD, which would correspond with the BT arrangement.

There has been no indication that this will happen, but when the Sky UHD programming becomes available, I shall take a look at the VOD content to see if there are any SA videos available on there!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

It's not just Sky Atlantic, it's all the other Sky channels BT customers didn't have, and they are all in the EPG, so are recordable too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes, a much improved TV service from BT.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

If Virgin had a deal what included Sky Atlantic content whether linear or On Demand it would have included the fact in its press release I'm pretty sure of that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

OB can hope as much as he wants but l very much agree with your sentiments.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I don't think that's right, SonicMaster. For example, Alibi is on channel 312, Animal Planet on 325, and so on. I think you are just looking at the new channels list.

BT viewers will be ecstatic at the extended choice now available to them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I'm afraid it is OLD BOY.

BT customers have the choice of the old 'classic' pack with all those channels, or moving to the new NOW TV dominated pack that doesn't include them. It's not an extended choice, it's an alternative choice.

BT viewers are not ecstatic about it, in fact many are furious!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Ah, didn't realise that it was either the new package OR the classic packagecand you can't mix them. I wonder why they've done that?

The Classic package is set out here, for those unfamiliar with it.

https://www.bt.com/packages/classic/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I guess it depends on your viewing habits , personally I'd have never looked at BT TV before however these new packages would certainly entice me specifically the VIP.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

That depends on the conditions set out by Sky. There may have been an embargo on this information.

To be clear, I'm not saying it will happen, I'm merely flagging up the possibility, given the BT deal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

The BT deal is completely different and includes BT selling Now TV.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Indeed. £60 versus my current £100 for same content is a no brainer. My current contract expires end of next month, so unless VM can match or at least that BT deal then I'm Off!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes, I know that, but Sky have kept SA content exclusive to its own platform for years now, and the BT deal changes that.

I would not be at all surprised if we were given SA content on demand only, but not the live channel. You will recall that Sky has been reported as wanting to better monetise its content and this would be a neat way of achieving it.

Again, I'm not saying this will happen, but we should not close our minds to the possibility.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

You need to be very careful. It's highly unlikely that you will get exactly the 'same content' with BT for £40 less per month!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Perhaps they mean of the content they watch ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

This provides further information in support of SonicMaster's observation that anyone subscribing to the new BT TV package will lose channels.

https://www.rxtvlog.com/2020/02/new-...choose-to.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

We know that but it depends whether you watch them or not., most people watch a fraction of the channels they subscribe to on a regular basis.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

For those interested here is a breakdown of the BT channels https://www.rxtvlog.com/p/bt-tv-channel-list.html

Here is the price list for the new packages/addons. https://www.rxtvlog.com/2020/02/bt-r...v-finally.html

The channel packages you chose are flexible, however you are tied into a 24 month contract, which BT say will not rise during this period.

Sky History channel(s) will be added to the NowTV Entertainment package in April. Sky Nature and Sky Documentaries are also being added in March.

BT TV are running a special launch offer for customers which includes BT Superfast Fibre and the Entertainment Package for £37.99 per month

IMO you may be better off by buying a NowTV stick/box and searching for reduced passes which always seem to be readily available rather than paying full price via BT or SKY eg https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/th...d-now-tv-deals

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I agree unless having the ability to record these is important to you.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Quite. I rarely watch any channels listed under Classic Entertainment. The new ones are much better.

Re: HISTORY to become Sky HISTORY
 

DS Forum and Sky Media is reporting that History will become Sky History on April 7th.

April 7th look set to be an busy day for Sky as Sky Documentaries is set to launch on that date.

Is A+E and Sky set to close Crime + Investigation for Sky Documentaries to launch???

With all C&I shows moving to Sky Crime!

Sky Nature can easy use E! (with shows moving to Lifetime) or Sky Two.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I wonder if we will loose Love Nature and possibly gain Sky Nature as per this info from Sky Media
https://www.skymedia.co.uk/opportuni...ature-channel/

'Sky have also signed up to be the exclusive UK broadcaster for Love Nature content, on linear TV and available on demand'

Though it does state 'With the launch of Sky Nature, Sky customers will have unrivalled access to'

We won't know till closer to the time it seems.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

They mentioned the LoveNature content deal before, but I don't recall the word exclusive. That's very interesting.

That pretty much guarantees Sky Nature replacing LoveNature channel on VM.

Thanks for that ScottishSteve.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

My concern here is the words 'Sky customers' which may mean we might not be getting the channel at this time.

Though they do mention Sky customers more as it is their own network to be fair. We will just have to wait and see if any tests pop up next month

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Well VM never had On-Demand access to LoveFilm content, and the context seems to be talking about that. And they don't use use the word "exclusive" in the same sentence as "Sky customers", just "unparalleled".

The saddest bit is that LoveNature doesn't have adverts, except for it's own shows, and this is bound to end with any rebranding.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Let see if Forum Box start reporting of them testing or we will need to wait until March 24th to see the TiVo listings for April 7th or even wait until March 31st for Radio Times (or any other TV listings books) to come out.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
 

But the announcement does say including 'linear TV and on demand'
