Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Very interesting times ahead for VM customers. VM have come on leaps and bounds over the last 12 months glad i never gave up on them despite the evil one offering my half price deals.

Awfully exciting all this.
MB- if a deal has been done for the sky HD channels (which it sounds like it has if they're testing) what would you say the chances are it includes additional channels like sky atlantic etc too? Only reason i ask is sky are usually so stubborn for agreeing anything the fact they've agreed sky sports news hd and sky news hd shocks me! |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Media Boy, please explain something to me.
IF Sky and VM are in talks for various channels. IF, they sign a contract today for say Atlantic, and another channel comers along, does that mean to say that Vm have to wait for that contract to end before they can start talking about the new channel ? |

The pay TV industry is constantly evolving to stay ahead of the free services such as freeview and freesat and the cheaper streaming options like Lovefilm and Netflix. Don't count BT Vision out , whilst it may not currently rival VM or Sky I'm sure the service will get better and better with time especially when you consider it becomes available to more and more people each day with BT's rapidly expanding fibre footprint , BT also have plenty of money behind them and are keen to increase triple play take up. |

Had a call today from sales as my contract in up in October. Was offered a 1TB Tivo swap for my Tivo 500 and another 1TB for my sons room (bringing me up to 4x1TB) and taking off my XL phone, as we dont use the landline much now, all for £77 a month and no installation costs. Keeping L BB and XL TV. Or instead of a 4th Tivo I could have a V+ box for £72 a month.
Good offers? Have'nt made my mind up on that yet, but the sales lady said that theres some good stuff coming for XL and up customers this autumn with new bundles on the apps side, such as Netflix and Spotify. I know sales are for selling, but I will be pleased if Spotify is included some how, as I pay £9.99 a month for that alone. |

Reason being, CBS Action has been available for free on the M+ and L packages since it launched on Virgin Media, so it's not really a freeview. Also when I last checked the Virgin Media channel list on the website, CBS Reality, and + 1 and Horror Channel + 1 and CBS Drama were listed on the L package area(Not sure if this has changed, as I can't view the channel list on the Virgin Media.com website at the moment..). Not to mention I've viewed these channels many times on the L package and nothing about a freeview has come up. |

http://my.virginmedia.com/content/da...ide_August.pdf before making any such claims { - there may be a more recent one. } look at 197 CBS Drama - see the note about 3 rd October that channel was XL only as listed at http://www.virginmedia.com/customers...nnel-guide.pdf I trust you will withdraw your claim. |

Since I last frequented here your main arguments were always, Tivo, cable works in bad weather, Catch up selection, 3 Tuners and Fibre for staying with Virgin. Jury is out for me on Tivo, never liked it and in no way is it miles better than the Sky box that some on here make out. I lost the signal less times in 13 years with sky with the weather than I did in a year with Virgin with network failures so not convinced on that one. Catch up selection is now better on Sky and even better if you use the Sky Go option on your ipad or android device. 3 Tuners well catch up is better on sky so you can always get whatever you've missed on that. I've got fibre and to cap it all I pay less than what I did with Virgin. |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Ive borrowed my Mates Sky box whilst he is on Holiday, Atlantic is pap 95% of the time, through the day its absolute rubbish on there.. upscaled american rubbish at that. Anybody who knows me knows i love HD, i can instantly see the extra colours and sharpness in a HD picture over SD, but there is absolutley no reason i would be mad for SSN in HD over the SD version, it isn't really one of those channels that benefit from it, My Samsung V+ seems to do a decent job of upscaling channels with little motion.

I really hope something else sky owns turns up just to prove you wrong cause you've been really adamant on this one. I was caught by a Sky man in my shopping centre the other day, he was mentioning Sky Atlantic and I said "I'm unsure if I want a satellite dish on my house". His reply was "we'll it's not exclusive anymore, it will be available on a few other operators shortly, but your best price will always be with Sky" |

Well, Sky want to launch Bravo, but don't want to do it without putting it on VM, so there is one reason that Sky may want to do a deal on Atlantic with VM. So the statement you made can't be proved. Who knows what other things Sky need from VM and visa versa. Backhaul springs to mind as an example of a recent deal between VM and Sky. |
