I've just seen this article, could be a sign of things to come

https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...mazon-the-feed

"Virgin Media has struck its first deal with a US streaming service, partnering with Amazon to co-fund a $40m-plus (£29m) sci-fi series from a writer of the hit show The Walking Dead.

The 10-part series, called The Feed, is set in London in the near future, although filming is expected to take place in Manchester. It is based on a book by the first time author Nick Clark Windo."

[QUOTE=Ultimate.Conj;35936679]Yes, this was posted earlier. Things are looking up!

[QUOTE=OLD BOY;35936746]Oops, sorry OB, I should have checked earlier posts. I'm way behind the new postings lol

Be interesting to see if this goes down well, will Virgin invest in more things like this?

[QUOTE=Ultimate.Conj;35936748]No worries, UC, it can be difficult to keep up with everything going on!

Yes, I think we can expect more original content for VM. Don't expect a Virgin channel or anything like that, but think on demand and streaming services. That's where most if not all of our new content will come from.

You may have read that the ITV Encore channel, which is exclusive to Sky, is closing down in favour of a new on demand channel, which will be available on Virgin later this year. That is a sign of things to come, although it does appear that Sky Atlantic will finally arrive on our EPGs this year.

Hopefully, Amazon too will grace our Tivos and V6s soon!

You can't be getting many HD channels then as these are no longer broadcast in MPEG2. Only the SD channels are still MPEG2.

[QUOTE=OLD BOY;35936751]With Virgin/Amazon seemingly having a good relationship, I guess we are a lot closer than to having this arrive soon. Would be pretty cool.

Just a shame the HDR feature isn't yet enabled on the V6, because I'd still use the TV to access Netflix and Amazon for 4K HDR content...fingers crossed that an update is coming soon.

OK, I'll bite and watch it. I haven't seen original content from a cable company since the days of Flextech, and that must have been 10 years ago.
