BBC 3 being added back to 106 was to be expected, it avoids or lessens any pressure on VM by the DCMS to promote local tv channels to that slot.

But who would have thought that BBC Three SD Old & BBC Three HD Old would be re-added to the NIT & SDT in early December? Presumably blanket placeholders for any pop-up BBC channels using the CBBC downtime.

Why does everything with Virgin have to be DNA, as right now we have no UHD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wonder which version VM will get, the satellite or DTT version?

Let's hope that the version that VM add will show the ice hockey that you want to see :)

I'll do some digging to try and work it out.

Thanks.

I wonder if VM Ireland will be able to receive Eurobird 9 and show the HD or 4K versions?

Re: Frontrunner TV:

The only difference between the two is that one carries greyhound racing and the other doesn't, so ice hockey should be available if it comes to VM.

Re: Fashion 4K.

I wonder if VM Ireland do get this, perhaps they could also get an agreement to put it onto VM UK?

I suspect that when people were asking for 4K content to be added, that fashion parades probably weren't what they had in mind, but it would be very useful to have a linear 4K channel in the minimum package for people to test out & have a play with their new 4K TV's.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

3 weeks ago i got my tivo replaced the guy was from Glasgow he said 4 Glasgow installers where brought down to Leicester as Virgin was busy they staying ain a swanky Leicester hotel too

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Leicester is right in the middle of a "Project Lightning" area (Leicestershire Villages) which has just gone live, so no doubt a huge amount of installs going on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wish they would promote local TV channels to that slot, it would make so much sense, rather than just leaving it as dead space.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It's not really dead space, it's an app, but there are probably better ways of using the slot. Maybe promoting BBC Four to 106, BBC One HD to 107 and BBC Two HD to 108, preserving the PSB content of these slots. I'm not sure that the DCMS would be entirely happy with that approach though.

There are a lot of areas not covered by local TV and a large number of local TV channels which haven't agreed terms for carriage on VM. Surrendering 106 to local TV would leave it empty across much of the network.

Then again, from what I've seen of some of the local TV stations, any slot they land in could be considered dead space. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

People with 4k TVs are currently a minority. Given the size of TV that most people buy and the distance they sit from it, there is not a great PQ advantage with 4k. Therefore, it is not surprising that VM are not rushing to spend more money on 4k content ATM. I'm sure in time that they will.


As has always been the case, for those who want the latest content ASAP. Sky is the place to be.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

That always used to be the case but there's plenty of must-watch shows on at the moment on Amazon and Netflix and they are increasing in number.
If VM could get Amazon, I think it would finally be equal to Sky on content although Sky would have an edge in 4K content.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I think PB is meaning inclusive with your subscription content both Amazon and Netflix require you to outlay even more. All VM are offering is access to your account on their set top box.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Tivo integrates content from Netflix into its search and recommendations so it does more than simply hosting the app on its box.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Agreed but that still doesn't negate the fact that you have to pay directly to both companies to subscribe at an additional cost to your VM subscription.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

And if they can get Amazon as well to sign on as well then having both integrated into the box is very handy for quite a few of us.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Agreed but then you have to do that with Sky if you want BT Sport which is in VM's top packages...horses for courses.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Agreed but then I haven't claimed BT Sport is part of any of Sky's content.;) It's merely available if you have a subscription with BT.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Exactly.


Exactly, and if you want the latest channels and 4k ASAP, Sky is the place to be.


Amazon and Netflix can be added to any TV provider's service via inexpensive devices that only need a vacant HDMI socket

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Thanks for confirming , VM XL package or whatever it's called these days is superb value for Sports fans with access to Sky Sports Mix and the BT Sport channels.with Eurosport also included.

The Netflix VM Tivo integration is excellent I just don't believe you can class it as VM or BT content when an extra sub is needed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

The big plus of Amazon Prime on a V6 to it being on a Fire Stick is the 4k.
A firestick is not capable of 4K you have to buy the Fire Tv to get 4K which is a lot more but also more powerful.

I'm hoping it appears soon in the new year now I have a V6 on the way

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Kix Power will also be shown on Virgin Media Pop up channel* (Channel 100) on Sunday.

*That is what Ofcom is called it.

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your...cences/updates (See October 2016)

BT Sport 1 will also be shown for the few hours on Monday Night on Channel 100.

Plus as of today ARABIC HAFLA is no longer testing on Virgin Media.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

In fairness, and as I have said before, it hadn't been testing anywhere on Virgin Media for quite some time (it wasn't in the Network Information Table for any of the individual networks). Its entry had been left behind in the SDT along with a few other ghost entries. The penalty of relying on the SDT for information is that you will often see these ghost entries after the actual tests are removed from the network.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Aww that's it, I'm leaving Virgin now.....................:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Kix Power trailer confirms that this Virgin Media exclusive will be available for 5 weeks. It will be interesting to see if is it replaced by the normal Kix channel at the end of that period, as it's available on Sky, Freeview and Freesat so I think Sony would probably like it on Virgin Media too. This could be a popularity test.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Its location on a transport stream used for apps and pop-up channels suggests that it is only a temporary arrangement. If VM decide to carry Kix full time, I doubt it would be on that transport stream.

It's worth noting that the original Kix "tests" were on a different transport stream, used for regular services. So it could possibly move back there after Kix Power ends its run. Time will tell...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Can I ask why you're paying £5 extra per TiVo box? Wasn't the multiroom charge for extra TiVos brought down to £7.50 from £11.50 recently? And shouldn't people who are changing their multiroom VHD or V+ to a TiVo or V6 only be facing a monthly rise of £1? Seeing as the multiroom charge is normally £6.50.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I thought it was £5 difference between the Tivo and VHD so that's where the £10 increase has come from.

I hadn't realised the Tivo had been brought down to £7.50...I might double check with them. Thanks for the info..might be able to reduce the bill a bit more ;):D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

EE TV is basically a Freeview DTT offering with On Demand content bolted on. Not serious competition for Sky, so they are probably not bothered about locking EE out. In fact they may be trying to use the app to show people on EE what they are missing by not being a Sky customer

Dave harps on SKY don't want anyone else to have Sky Atlantic if that was so it wouldn't be on nowtv either.
Nowtv is available on numerous devices including ROKU, EE, certain smart tvs, PC and a few others, vm did not want to pay so they don't get pretty simple really.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Having an app for Now TV in SD and no direct deal for wholesale of Sky's channels is somewhat different from a wholesale agreement for Sky Atlantic.

The evidence that Sky's asking price for Sky Atlantic being unviable is that no companies have signed deals with Sky. TalkTalk hasn't. Magnet and Eir in Eire hasn't. And when they were not part of Virgin Media, Smallworld and UPC Ireland hadn't either. So bags of evidence to support megaposter denphone I'm afraid. ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

The pay-tv channels are all in SD so many people won't see these as quality channels I'm afraid.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Indeed but that's the point, there is no urgency to remove entries from the SDT, so the name can remain long after tests have ended. Arabic Hafla wasn't in the NIT for any of VM's networks even as far back as August.

My point is that by relying on basic TV scans, which read the SDT, the listings will show inactive services and services which have long since been removed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It doesn't really matter that Sky Atlantic is also available on Now TV. Now TV *is* Sky and its customers are purchasing the service from Sky on a retail basis. That's not an indication of Sky being willing to provide Sky Atlantic on a wholesale basis at a reasonable price. I'm sure that Sky don't care what device is used to access Now TV, whether it be a Now TV box, a phone, a PC, an EE TV Box or a converted microwave oven. I'm also sure that not every pay tv provider would be happy to have a Now TV app, effectively competing wiith their own pay tv lineup.

---------- Post added at 19:16 ---------- Previous post was at 19:09 ----------

But the news that BoxNation isn't being lumped in with the current BT Sports channels on VM's top tier is an indication that there are limits to how far VM is prepared to subsidise sports channels within an entertainment package. If BT continues to add more sports content, requiring more cash from VM, there's no guarantee that VM will add that content to "Full House".

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

But it won't be competing to the detriment of Virgin Media if the app was only available to Full House subscribers on their platform.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

If some of those Full House subscribers find that most of the content they watch is available on Now TV, it may encourage them to ditch VM and get a Now TV box. A risk they probably aren't prepared to take.

SKY Atlantic will be 6 years old in February. Must admit, for whatever reason, the channel doesn't appear to be destined for Virgin Media.

Good deal on at Currys for those who are a little SKY Atlantic curious. NOW TV with 6 months Entertainment pass only £19.00. £38.00 for the full year. Works out at £3.16 per month. Cheaper than the inevitable price rises we'll all see, regardless of TV provider, in 2017.

Vm, have only themselves to blame if customers are leaving. I walk past there sales reps each day when l go to Hounslow. They ask me abut going to VM. I tell them bluntly that we have VM but have downgraded, due to cost. and that Sky have offered us a deal which we took.

Sky have certainly not frozen prices for 5 years, what they have been doing ks offering customers to stay on their current deal for 5 years without prices going up, i can assure you that sky will put prices up next year for everyone else, just like bt,tt,vm etc will.

That's the deal I'm on. Keep my package at the same price for 60 months. No contract, free to leave when I want. The only thing is adding services such as another multiroom box or SKY Sports in HD seem to knock the offer all over the place. I'm happy just to sit with what I've got. Don't want to rock the boat.
