And they cost 10 times the price of one with glasses.

Yes, but not same quality

I was reading that technology being developed will make all 3D tvs glasses free

Watching the FA Cup game on ITV AD just now and the picture is poor IMO. It's not being shown in the STV region or would have it on STV HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I am watching in HD, through other channels, manually added

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, but you're on Sky, Colin. You can't manually add channels on cable.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Oh sorry, wasn't paying attention

Yes, i remember when I had virgin..it annoyed me that it kept forcing STV onto me...no one but STV think stv is good :D

The problem is more the low bitrates than the actual resolution.

Doesn't help too with channels like Viva where they take old 4:3 NTSC programmes, convert them into PAL, blow up the picture to somewhere in the middle of 4:3 and 16:11 (losing the top and bottom) and then bung them out on a really low bitrate channel. Impossible to watch on a big screen telly with the bad colour, blurred picture and terrible pixellation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Spot on, it's not every channel but some are definitely worse than others. ITV SD channels seem particularly bad, thankfully we now have the HD versions of 2/3/4.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, that will be the low bit-rate on the channels.

You'll notice more in dark scenes, scenes with a lot of one colour and fast moving scenes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Thats right; Universal and the +1 are the only channels I watch where it is noticable (it's also bad on the 5USA/5* channels as well but I don't watch anything on them presently)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ditto

Virgin Media takeover by Liberty Global approved in EU

The European Commission (EC) has confirmed that its antitrust authority found no competition concerns with the transaction.

The authority noted that the companies' cable networks operate in different countries, noting that the national licensing of TV content for different areas meant that the deal would not restrict competition.

Where Can I find an up-to-date list of channels on Virgin TV - on the web?

I am working on my blog.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Well, that's nice of them. Maybe now they can turn their attention to Sky...
