Hello all!

Been away in Dublin rather a lot during the summer (my Mum passed away in May) so lots to catch up on. Seen some changes to EPG this week but will look at the latest from MB for updates. Also quirky problem with box freezing at 01:00-ish but will have a search around for reports of this.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

So sorry to hear about your mum, mate :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

l have just had a conversation with Premier Sports about them coming onto Virgin and basically they said the ball is in Virgins court so do not expect anything soon one would suspect.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Christine Keeler's comment springs to mind....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Would those words be " The truth at last " :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Has Anyone else got no sound on Eden HD ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

That would be her book title, not her comment re the Profumo Affair...;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Well he would, wouldn't he?

Love your pessimistic attitude :D

Eh ? :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes, me. No sound on Eden HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No not pessimistic but realistic master.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No sound here either.

Update
-Sound is now working.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No sound here....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I wondered if that's what Hugh was referring to, although it was actually Mandy Rice-Davies who said it, so perhaps not.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

MTV logos are the old ones too, and to be extra picky, Disney Channel updated their logo when Disney went HD. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

LOL :D I wasn't sure what you were on about.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

To those without audio on Eden HD...
Are you using Dolby or stereo?
What happens if you turn Audio Description on?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yup.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I had no sound on Eden HD. Turned Audio Description on and switched from Dolby to MPEG and the volume came back on. Still working 5 minutes ago, i'll just keep an eye on it and see how it goes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Eden HD now has sound.

I didn't alter my sound settings at all

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Just looked on Virgin Tivo forum and they are aware of thee Eden HD audio issue and possibly fixed it already.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Dolby via TOSLINK, not sure if it's on now (or what happens RE:AD) as my box is updating.

---------- Post added at 15:45 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------

Back up, sounds on Eden HD.

GoodFood HD is really out of sync though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

:mad: This is becoming more and more of a problem on HD channels. I've only noticed it over the past few weeks starting with ITV1 HD but Comedy Central is doing it too (well this morning it was)

I happen to know a good man is on the case :) So lets hope things are resolved quickly!!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Mobes is it Comedy Central HD doing it ? I'm out at the minute , i'll update you if its affecting Sky also when I'm in.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I'm watching friends on Comedy Central HD right now, no lip sync issues via Sky+HD 1Tb box.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

It was this morning mate and was dreadful last night when i tried to watch Sean Lock Live last night...

The SD version on VM is not effected and is fine!

I'm not going to let this go as it makes the channel unwatchable IMO.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I'll give it a look when I'm home , we've noticed it bad some days on Channel 5.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Speaking of 5HD... ashamedly I sometimes watch Big Brother (oops) and the quality of HD on the programme is bloody awful... really grainy sometimes...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes very grainy.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We noticed lip sync issues on sky last night when we were watching warehouse 13 on scifi hd sd was fine so its not just a virgin thing

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I agree we've seen it on C5 HD , Comedy Central HD seems fine at the moment though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I don't think bb is actually HD. Only the live eviction shows.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Its flagged as HD on Sky EPG not sure whether TIVO flags it as HD , usually on C5 it's HD if the DOG has HD after it , I can't say if this is the case with BB as I don't watch it :D , DF is your man here :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

If I remember rightly the reason some HD channels have audio sync problems is because the video stream takes a lot longer to encode than the audio stream, so the audio has to be delayed to get the timing right. That's the problem BBC HD had for a while (not getting the right delay) when it started.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We had an outage earlier, should all be ok now :)

---------- Post added at 18:46 ---------- Previous post was at 18:43 ----------

How do you know? :D :p:

Yeah it's HD :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Ah... i see... ta!

---------- Post added at 19:31 ---------- Previous post was at 19:30 ----------

Comedy Central HD now perfect.... got to love Spiders :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Does any think we will get More HD channels this year ?

http://mediacentre.virginmedia.com/S...-fee-21b7.aspx

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

This is just a press release from the UKTV deal and confirmation of the channels that are launching in October on Virgin from that deal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I know Does any think we will get More HD channels this year ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We might get some but just wait and see what happens.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

this is starting to become boring...........

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Why don't you just SHUT UP and stop asking the same questions every flaming day, it's getting so boring, if you want more HD channels then there is a simple answer go and join SKY TV, maybe then we would get some piece and quite, and alow this thread to return to normal and let Media Boy do his work.

:mad::rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No. But I'm happy with eden hd, as it's one of the few channels where it actually makes a difference, and I'm looking forward, patiently, to Sky anytime plus. Factor in tivo and I reckon it's been a good year for Virgin.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I think 2010 was a better year for Virgin Media

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

i know a way to make 2011 a better year for Cable Forum............:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We could get More4 HD this year most likely december. Channel 4 has already said they want to launch More4 HD this year.
More4 HD and Film4 HD could be launching on Sky soon ? http://en.ses.com/4233325/news/2011/8181203

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

we could also get a lot of others channels in hd and a free month from virgin but until those with inside info or a statement from virginmedia is made it is pointless asking the same question time and time again.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Does any know we did not get Universal HD last year :confused:
http://mediacentre.virginmedia.com/S...ution-1c5.aspx

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We did get that on demand content it is under us boxsets

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Sorry if i misunderstand you HDboy but the link you put up refers to on demand service in HD for NBC universal programmes not Universal HD Channel:shrug:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Why did we not get the Universal HD channel in that deal ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

it may be that a seperate deal needs to be done for on demand content and the channels. The only ones that know the real reason is the companies involved in the deal. may i politly suggest u contact the companies involved in any channel deals you wish to know about, start your own thread about it and stop cluttering up the "coming soon" thread with these type of questions.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Not cheap enough maybe ?,I did contact universal channel a couple of weeks ago and disney.There channels are all available to vm,Make from that what your will but sound simillar to the sky atlantic reasoning:(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes, Sky Atlantic is available on BT Vision and Smallcable, so obviously it is reasonably priced.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

l suspect Sky want as much for this one channel then they wanted for all the basics put together.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

will be the right answer sky overcharging as always knowing fine well VM will not pay overcharged price and no way they should

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Aye that'll be it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

In all honesty Hugh can you make that assumption with any credence ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

well we can MM sky got a history of overcharging

why VM and bt win case about sky sports

why ofcom make sky lower price of sky movies

why woman in pub win batter about football on european channels

oh yes skys overcharging wasnt it

thats worse thing about sky is the overcharging and withholding Sky Sports 3+4HD when we paying premium HD charge

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Flip the coin and what do we have ? A plethora of channels who claim VM wont pay for and claim they are too expensive to carry.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

that dont hide the fact about skys history of overcharging yes they should get the fair price and not overcharged price thats my 2 big complaints about sky

1 them overcharging
2 with holding sky sports3+4 HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

We will only ever hear biased reports from these talk as there are no impartial parties involved.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Surely one persons over charging is another man's fair price? It's up to Virgin to make their service more attractive to potential customers not Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I agree withholding and exclusive channels isn't good but they all do it remember Living HD and Film 4 HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yes it goes both ways and both are to blame to some extent.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I agree hence my comment , we cannot say with any credence.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

good point but sky own living now so not exclusive no more so vm got 1 exclusive channel and some on digital spy forum saying thats sky could be getting film4HD sometime this year

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

A VM Sports subscriber pays 22.50 , in my eyes they should get all SS channels , OFCOM need to man up :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

so true and i know that one of reasons you went to dark side

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

By the time Ofcom man up it will be 2020.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

but with the evidence of nothing new arriving in months and months, if not years now we can make some assumptions on the evidence.


Viacom add Comedy Central HD (simply a HD version of a channel we already had in SD,) but to facilitate this remove two channels we no longer have access to in any form. This instead of taking extra capacity from what we would assume are a very close and important working partner. Meanwhile extra capacity was sought from Astra for the same channel meaning no removal of other services from the Sky platform.

CSC Media add their flagship "true entertaiment" channel. However to facilitate this have to remove their childrens offering from Virgin Media. Meanwhile when any CSC add channels to the sky epg they seek extra capacity from Astra.

CBS via Chello Media make a high profile attempt to join the UK market. They create two extra channels which quickly gain carriage on Astra, but now, two years since the channels were first announced, are no nearer appearing on Virgin Media.

BSkyB buy Virgin medias channel portfolio, part of the agreement is that Virgin will have long term access to Skys channels, and I rather foolishly thought this would also go for any new channel launches within a set time period also, however a matter of weeks later Sky launch a new flagship channel, which didn't, and hasn't since appeared on the VM Platform.

Premier Sports launch a new channel, which gains capacity on Astra with ease, but despite their insistence of continued efforts, get no nearer an agreement with capacity on the VM Platform.

Box Nation launch and seem confident of carriage from the off on both Astra and VM, even putting both platforms on their website... However, while the Astra capacity is not an issue, it all goes quiet on the VM front and all references to it are removed off the website.

Sony, a multinational corporation launch an english language channel in the UK... they, again, have little problem getting access to Astra and the Sky EPG, however despite their immense influence are unable to agree any carriage deal with VM.

PBS maker announcements of their intention to join the UK market with a new channel, which has already agreed carriage on Astra onto the Sky EPG, and are in discussion with VM. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if some of the worlds biggest media organisations can't agree anything for capacity with VM that PBS have very little chance of making it onto a platform that to all intents and purposes has been closed to newcomers for almost two years now. Even the recent addition of the +1 and HD channels was due to VM selling its stake in UKTV whilst inserting a clause for the carriage of the missing channels, and not an independent deal.

The evidence is just so huge it cannot be ignored, the problem has to lie with VM. And the sooner VM recognise this and try to address the problem, there is no chance of any new content being added to VM anytime soon, as I am sure they have very little else to sell in exchange for anything new.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

or maybe VM simply has a policy right now of not adding any new non HD linear channels.

This topic is about what's coming soon to VM in terms of new Tv channels and whilst rumours are constantly doing the rounds, the only new channels in the last year have been Cinemoi, ITV1 +1 and the forthcoming return of two UKTV timeshift channels which were IIRC removed to make way for newly launched UKTV channels a couple of years ago.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Of course it is easy to get a EPG slot on Astra, the channels pay for it. To get carried on VM, THEY pay for it. The question they ask is will the revenue from commercials pay the price that the channel is asking or will people pay the subs.

The way I have always seem the situation is that VM are a company that supply broadband and phones services alongside TV. Sky supply TV and dabble in BB and Telephone.

If loads of extra channels are your thing get Sky. If you want a decent TV offering with good broadband get VM.

So can we get back on topic now ????

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Not been on for a couple of hours and its sky bashing again,When are people gonna realise they cant blame sky for everything.Yes they are witholding sports 3+4 HD(dont know about sky sports news hd+sky news hd),They have offered vm sky atlantic but they wont pay what they want that is not sky`s fault.As said on previous post Universal HD is available and all the disney HD channels but clearly again vm wont pay what they want,That is not sky`s fault that is a vm problem which they need to sort out.
Lets not forget itv channels and there are more,again not sky`s fault !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Exactly and ITV 2,3,4 HD, ESPN America HD are also available. There is probably even more HD channels available ie Nat Geo Wild HD etc

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

l think the fault lies with both of them as one will tell you one answer and the other will tell you another answer so l suspect the answer lies in the middle of that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I know it's not an option for everybody, but in general it really is the case that Virgin and Sky should be seen as offering different solutions, each with different merits, rather than wondering why they're not the same. That might be frustrating for those who can't erect a dish, or for those who don't live in cabled areas, but that's unfortunately just the way it is. For those with a choice the options are simple-loads of linear channels, more of them in hd, and better value for money if you're into sports/movies or much better broadband, shed loads of on demand content and Tivo. All this "Sky have got this, why haven't we" stuff just completely misses the point.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Ive just moved from sky to virgin, sky have more channels and are cheaper, but virgin have the channels WE watch in hd, whats the point in 50+ hd channels if you dont watch them.
People need to choose between sky and virgin on what the provide. Sky internet is poor and for us thats just as important as a tv service. Best solution would be sky tv with virgin bb but then you would have no on demand as sky force you to have there sub standard internet service.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

spot on Pau1200.

I appreciate that certain channels are important to certain people but even then, the majority will only watch the channels they want to watch whether in SD or HD.

I don't care if there are 30 or 500 HD channels on Virgin - I'll only watch the HD channels I normally would watch in SD.

Can I ask any news on the mysterious sky anytime because what we get for sky living is not to good shows you get on sky anytime via sky

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Apparently this is coming very soon but how soon is another matter.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I have seen no news on any launch date for more Sky branded channels to launch on Virgin on Demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Essjay confirmed it as 'Soon very soon'.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35311528-post72.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Then if thats the case then l suspect next week or the week after and l am looking forward to it.

Until my Insiders can confirm it - anything that is posted on CF/Web is just an rumour.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Essjay works for VM doing on demand, he's the one that been fixing the on demand hiccups!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Thanks essjay for the great news :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Sorry - I did not know that due to Essjay not having ''Virgin Media Staff'' beside his name.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Yeah he only chips in when someone has a problem with on demand, he's in and out like the Scarlet Pimpernel! :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

@HD Boy.

It now been fix for next list update.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

I would expect BBC2 HD to launch after the Olympics so post August 2012, Autumn 2012 (September 1st to November 30th ) is the most likely time scale.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

No real need to post this again. It's already mentioned in the BBC cuts thread.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Surprised it has been posted yet, but Dave HD now up and running

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Not sure if package changes are appropriate for this thread but
Sky Arts 1, Sky Arts 2 (the SD versions) and Yesterday +1 have been added to the M+ tier.

I noticed the additions when I was messing about with the Set Favourite Channels menu last night and have confirmed the change on the Virgin Channel listing website where they are all now ticked in the M+ column. http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-tv/channels.html
