Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Will that be things from ITV Encore that we've not had access to before?

Does the new deal start straight away or is there a date?

Just found this: https://www.devonlive.com/news/uk-wo...island-1834704

The agreement also includes the following:
• The supply of all ITV channels in SD and HD for in-home and out-of-home viewing
• All 4K programming on ITV including future sporting events
• An expanded supply of on-demand rights, extending the viewing window and offering access to premium ITV box sets
• Support for new functionality on the Virgin TV platform such as the ability to “start over” and “replay” programmes
• Carriage of the ITV Hub app on Virgin Media set top boxes
• An agreement to work together to enable cloud-based recordings in future

l am sure all will be revealed when they are both good and ready as l know only what l have read so far.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

lets see if VM and ITV deal will make UKTV rethink and start talking again

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Unless UKTV and the BBC budge from their intransigence l doubt it Dave.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Now all they need to do is get back around the table and get some positive talks with UKTV then everything will be rosy again... until the next dispute begins

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Sky and BT next year maybe..

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Good to see that ITV will be staying, but VM didn't really have any choice but to give in to ITV demands after the loss of the UKTV channels.

Sky and other channel providers will have been watching this with great interest.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

There is always a choice and how do we know they gave into demands?

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Not quite, even if the UKTV channels returned tomorrow, the damage to their brand and confidence has already been done.

Who do you think will be expected to pay for the shortfall in the projected revenue because of all these cancellations and downgrades ;)

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Who said VM gave in to ITV's demands? as no one knows the ins and outs of the deal.

l doubt it as some said that after the Sky Basics dispute and that did not materialise.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Hardly a big deal to get channels that are on Freeview !

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Its the content that's not on freeview that's the big deal.;)

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

Quite!! I also love how Tom Mockridge talks about extra choice in his PR soundbites.... oh the irony. Only when it suits Virgin, alas.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
 

I am sure a deal will be done eventually with UKTV, there is a lot of posturing going on from both sides and unfortunately its the customer who suffers.
