At least thats how I read it, again no disrespect to Technix who on the whole has a good accuracy on his postings but he got this one wrong which he has admitted to so kudos to that.
He never once said in that quote that he made it up! Try reading it again.. :dunce:

Cheers bud,hopefully there will be a change of stance with universal regards the hd channel and vm with all there new program's.bear in mind my last response was in July from both universal and vm,but looking at the post the other day someone posted with universal response it looks like all there giving is a standard response.i prefer it to sky Atlantic I currently record more universal hd program's than Atlantic ;)[/QUOTE]

Here here, I second that, as I have said before I think Universal HD is a better channel than Sky Atlantic HD!...... :D

Rumour: I may have sausages for tea tonight. Probably be a large pack as I get hungry after a long day at work.

(Could be spag Bol instead)

I'm sorry, but this (to me) is getting silly. I'm all for rumours so long as we know that's all they are, but all these "I know what's happening but I cannot tell" - well, there is now just too many flying around.

Why not PM Media Boy and leave it to him to sort out. Think upon it as a CableForum spokesperson !

Rumours and Gossip, and Spin, to keep people interested.

There's a difference though between keeping people interested, and pure speculation

I couldn't agree more with this. If we want people to visit the site, and thread, then it needs to have some credibility. It also has to avoid becoming a clique which I am afraid it is really starting to become.

Just realised that if people want to see what Sky Sports News HD is like on Virgin ... just watch Sky Sports 1 HD every morning at 8am - it's a simulcast!

It does seem to have become, purely by accident and unintentionally, a forum within a forum.


Please tell me that you guys who PM each other don't have to roll up one trouser leg whilst reading the PM and that there isn't a funny handshake symbol at the end of the PM :D

As far as l am concerned this is no clique and no forum within a forum and as for the PM system that has always been there for people to use if they want to message another member.:)

Den, I am not having a go at you, or any other member here. I only made a comment based upon how I see things (and you will notice I also did it tongue in cheek!)

In my opinion it smacks of "I want to be in your gang", but as I said, it was done tongue in cheek.

I try to be a part of the forum, but am really starting to feel weary of all the speculation posts that are now appearing - I am honestly surprised my dog is now not an insider !

I honestly hope everyone gets the channels and services they want - all I am asking is that maybe all the guesswork (which after all is all it is), comes from one person.

Hey ho, back to work I go

Thanks HowardMicks - fully understand you don't like my opinion, especially when it clashes with yours.

What part of "it was done tongue in cheek" do you struggle with ?

I am a really easy person to get on with, why do you make it difficult for me?

I am very happy you can 100% quantify your sources, but you must admit though, constantly reading that "I know what is going on but cannot tell anyone" is tedious to say the least.

Even though I have just spent the past hour moaning about such posts, can someone tell me, in simple terms (:D) what the score is with Netflix and lovefilm?

Granted, Netflix is deffo coming soon, but, is it likely the cost of it may be incorporated into XL whilst Lovefilm may be a paid for app ?

Am I then correct in saying that Netflix is more TV Series orientated, and Lovefilm movie based ?

Wasnt getting at you bud,ive never posted i know what is going on but cannot tell you only vm know that all I was privy to in july was what is planned and pretty much what I was told as happened I do get bits of info from others who work for vm but the man in the know as I have said in the past is mb.
can we draw a line on this now please
in response to netflix and lovefilm,there are rumours that we could see it mid october early november now and as for lovefilm no date in regards cost nobody really knows but be very surprised if some sort of cost isnt applied

They both the same but netflix is way better,there is a few exclusives on both,may I suggest trying the trial periods and see what you think

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 
No line to draw - and certainly no grudge from me! - let's call it a difference of opinion, which after all is what this forum is all about.

Reason for asking re Netflix is the missus was on about subscribing for the Media TV we have. It may be worth me waiting for a while then to see how things pan out ! I already have a Lovefilm account, but for Discs at home only.

Think I will try the Netflix though as you say, so I can get a feel for it

I purposely said 'purely by accident and unintentionally'. People have mentioned recently that they PM people with rumours/information that they don't post on the forum. That has even lead to people asking to be included in that PM list.

This gives the appearance of a sub group of people who become 'in the know' whilst others aren't.

I repeat; this was purely by accident and was unintentional but has lead to the feeling that there is some kind of sub forum, true or not.

Netflix is way better especially if you use a smart DNS or VPN service (can't do this on Tivo yet) on your pc or better still if you use your own router just set that up on a smart dns or vpn service.

Agreed, as far as I can see they really only need to make some useful apps rather than what is supplied and I'll be a happy bunny.

Does anyone use the apps on a regular basis ?

I will be honest and say I dont really inspect them closely, but the Ebay one was (to me anyway) pointless as you cannot do anything with it, BUT, the recent addition to upgrade to premium channels will be handy over Christmas.

If he knew the answer to that, blue, he would have told us by now.

VM is very secretive about new channels and launch dates. Remember, they kept people guessing until the last minute with the BT Sport channels. There is no way MB would know about launch dates this far in advance, except in certain circumstances (eg when one of the major terrestrials announce a new channel starting and tell us they've done a deal with Virgin).

MB's list of coming soon channels has never had much on it beyond the next 30 days or so, and this included this year, when we have had our best year yet for new channels. This isn't MB's fault, by the way, it's just that VM seem to treat these developments as 'top secret'.

But +1 channels aren't HD; they are SD. Fox has a HD channel. If you have Tivo, you can record using 3 tuners. Are you saying you have recording clashes that mean viewing on an SD +1 channel is the only option for these shows?

I actually think this is potentially more significant than the two channel launches. Time will tell I guess.

Let see what Entertainment Channel is set to launch soon.

BBC Three HD and BBC Four HD has been confirmed by the BBC as coming in early 2014 but I think Virgin will put them in the 16x mark.

BBC Three & Four HD are to launch "by" early 2014. Strong rumours suggest a BBC Three/CBBC HD launch sometime before Christmas.

I'm desperately trying to read something in to this channel move, because on the face of it, it seems so pointless. What it does do is create a gap between the documentary style channels and the entertainment channels, which currently end at 201/202 with +1 variants of cbsreality and horror.

I really do not know why Virgin are moving Yesterday for.

I can see all the Factual Channels moving to Virgin Channels 351 or 361 at an later date.

As Virgin are said to be in talks for the following channels:


Sky Atlantic
Sky Atlantic HD
5 Later
Sky 3D
Universal HD
Sky1 +1

Plus I have seen rumours that says ITV may launch an ITV Movie Channel (Info from an Virgin Viewer).

Top Up TV will close on 30th October, the Freeview capacity will transfer to Channel 5. 5Later should be able to start, on Freeview at least, at the end of October. Still a remarkable lack of publicity from Channel 5 for this new channel.

Probably just shuffling the channels to close the gap after Yesterday +1 and give a short term 3 slot extension to the Entertainment range. It would make more sense than adding entertainment channels between Yesterday +1 and Eden.

If channels continue to be added at the current rate a major reshuffle is needed.
