Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

i'm sure sky sports f1 hd will be a seperate channel or the sky sports hd package and that package would get a price increase.

there is no way it will be in xl and almost certainly won't get it in the sky sports package for the same price as sky will charge virgin a lot of money for it.

All Sky Sports customers AND all hd customers must surely be a large majority of their subscriber base. An extra channel for then for nothing? I am clinging to the hope that they are contractually obliged to have this channel available to as many people as possible. To my mind, xl is as close to hd pack as Virgin gets. I live in hope!

If you think about it logically, if they are doing this due to the backlash and that they will be launching a PTV channel on terrestrial then they have to show it on a separate channel. If it does come to VM, which I am sure it will, then I would be certain if you subscribe to Sky Sports 1 and 2 you will get it. If there is no Freeview channel then its anyones guess.

My insider has confirmed to me today that Virgin Media are in talks with BSkyB for both Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports F1 HD to launch on Virgin TV from March 2012.

Â©copyright 2011 Media Boy 2006 - 2011. An ''Keep it real and free'' Production.

I was told last week that Virgin Media will be having ''Freeviews'' over the Christmas Holidays on Virgin TV starting December 1st.

99% of me thinks Magic TV will be one of them.

Hope to have an update on what channels that Virgin TV will give freeviews to next month by Wednesday Night.

Thats good news, lets hope we get both SD and HD versions of that channel!

Spotify rollout on time. S'alright, but I'd rather have Grooveshark... better selection, and if there's something you like and can't see you can add it and then a few hours later stream it anywhere. Also no need for two damn accounts (with Spotify you must have a Spotify account; to get that you need a Facebook account.)

Just a HINT HINT HINT, Virgin Media. :D

Grooveshark doesn't respect copyright laws and is currently being sued. Considering Virgin are/were a record label I doubt they'll be promoting a service that allow you to pirate music.

Yep, I'm sure you're right. Why Grooveshark don't monetise the service I don't know.

You can register for any other app via mytivoapps - that's just for association. You have to have existing accounts

However for Spotify you can log in without having to do the association

Due to the licensing of the Virgin brand by Virgin Group (Virgin Enterprises Limited) the connection between Virgin Media, Virgin Records (Virgin Music) a division of EMI, Virgin Atlantic Airways and the many other Virgin-branded companies can be about as loose as the connection between virgin and Britney Spears.

However, no self-respecting organisation, whether or not they ever had a connection with the music business, should or would condone music piracy.

Is it me or does the name Spotify, in the context of popular music, conjure up images of acne-ridden teens? :( Couldn't the Swedes have come up with a better name? :confused:
