Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Would you really want to pay more for those channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

1 - 4TB drive with cloud storage / The ability to store on Nas home storage system
2 - 4K
3 - 12 Tuners!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

If you had cloud storage, you wouldn't need a hard drive at all.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

What I mean if virgin media should have made a deal with the owners of the stations to include the plus one channels if we get the main channel. I know the plus one channels can be very useful if you got a lot of programmes to watch or record.
That's why I think the plus one channels should be include with the main station. Not. separated on it own.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The problem with cloud storage over local storage is whether any kind of Expiration dates are implemented.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

1 - no.
2 - no comment.
3 - nope.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Seems like an odd thing to worry about. We could implement expiration dates on your recordings now if we wanted. But we don't.

You are far more likely to lose local recordings due to hard drive or STB failure.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Agreed but then the decision with regards to cloud recordings isn't yours to make being that you don't hold the rights to any of the content. There's a reason cloud recording hasn't been more widely deployed and that's rights issues just look at the mess VM has made with multiroom streaming , it's a lottery on which channels you can and can't stream.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I would have thought the new box would mirror Sky Q's box in terms of hard drive and 4K. Not sure how many tuners VM will go with.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

That's no different to the situation now. If the content owner made us expire your recordings, we would - just like we prevent access to Sky recordings when you unsubscribe, because that's a condition imposed by Sky.

Correct.

It is not a lottery.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

OK but it's less than ideal I'm sure you'll agree on that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes, that's one way to put it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It increasingly seems like the cloud PVR's time will have already passed by the time the technology actually gets deployed with so much now available on-demand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The trouble with on demand is that the programmes are taken off again too quickly and you lose track of what you want to see.

I think that each on demand service should have a section for the programmes you select to see and remember where you are in the programme or series, with a clear 'watch by' date. The absence of this facility explains why I need a 1TB box for my recordings!
