Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There have been several cases where con merchants Virgin media have claimed people bought ppv content when they hadn't.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

This happened to a late friend of mine. He was charged for a PPV film that he never watched, so they refunded it. The second time it happened they refused to credit the amount back so he paid it (against my advice) and cancelled phone, BB & TV.

For the sake of the cost of a PPV film they lost out on these three services for about eight years between when he cancelled and his death.

If they stopped doing this sort of thing maybe the constant price rises could stop; I personally wouldn't entertain the thought of paying for something i'd not purchased.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

The pack codes are suppressed for Eden, Gold, Good Food, Alibi & W and any of their timeshifts or HD versions, where available.

Maybe they have plans to replace the PPN service with another adult channel, there are quite a few of those around. There's not really anything else available to replace the subscription channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

So you think VM should automatically credit anyone who phones up and says they didn't watch something? I can see a flaw in your business case...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

So you think he should have been allowed to get away with it...twice! Where would you draw the line, Richard, and since when has stealing been ok?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yeah happened to my Mum twice. She didn't order anything but was billed for 2 movies on consecutive months. First time they refunded her second time they didn't. It's a farce.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Blue Planet 2, in 4K UHD/HDR coming to BBC iPlayer in a few weeks. The 4K iPlayer trial worked with the V6, so hopefully this will too.

Those with a 4K tv, this should look amazing.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

He didn't watch it as I explained; VM need to sort their PPV systems out.

Also, what I don't understand in the article is why VM switched the PPV facility back on when it had been switched off because of problems in the past. Can this facility not be turned off on a TiVo?

As explained, he didn't watch them. Are you in the habit of calling dead people thieves? Please don't cause further offence by suggesting that Chads mother is a liar or a thief.

Thanks for posting this Chad, there is clearly something wrong with their systems and their default position is to assume that the customer is a liar. This has happened in the past with banks and the Post Office even took some of their Postmasters to court after believing that their systems were infallible.

In the case of your mother and my late friend, they paid it the second time it happened, but I wouldn't out of principal. It looks to me like VM take advantage of those who dislike conflict due to age, disability etc.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

First time it was easy to prove. My Mum and Dad were on holiday when the film was allegedly purchased. Second time round Virgin wouldn't entertain them. I would understand if they use the service a lot, and made an honest mistake, but they've never ordered a PPV movie in their life and aren't too fussed about films. Soaps, news and football is the only thing on their TV. It's crooked.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I believe having 4k isn't enough - the TV has to be HDR capable as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

You are right, the HDR enabled TVs will make it even better. Luckily the newer 4K sets have this.

I've got a 2016 LG TV and this is HDR enabled too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

So it's ok for VM to steal or attempt to steal money of customers is it?
I don't think any of us should really be calling the customer a thief as we don't know the full story but going by past reports i wouldn't be surprised if this is a VM error and they are just trying to con the customer nothing new with VM though.
Since LG took over vm a lot of this seems to be happening, also i've seen cases (use google) where VM have accused people of making phonecalls they hadn't some didn't even have a VM phoneline.
Errors do happen but VM should fully investigate first before making demands if a customer challenges the bill, i really hope LG sell VM to a better company.

I think BBC are using a format not many tvs support according to a poster on DS.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Doesnt your tv have to use Hybrid Log-Gamma HDR?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yeah they are using a weird format. Not all TVs support this. I cannot watch it through the iPlayer app on my TV, but it works through the app on the V6.

I've got an LG and this wasn't supported at first. It could be that they've done a firmware update and I hadn't realised.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) combines Standard dynamic range (SDR) and high dynamic range (HDR) images in the same signal so is backward compatible with non HDR UHD screens.

This is the only HDR is adaptable on the fly and My new panasonic tv supports it! woohoo

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Don't be dramatic, Richard. I am merely saying that if you have watched something without paying, you should pay for it and not be 'let off' to keep their custom.

As for whether there is some sort of technical glitch that indicates that someone has watched a film when they haven't, I couldn't possibly comment. It's never happened to me or any of my acquaintences who have VM, that's all I can say about that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

But, as you were made fully aware, the cases involved people who had not watched anything that needed paying for.

You went on to cause offence by accusing a close deceased friend of being a thief and a liar, then when this had to be pointed out to you, instead of apologising like any right thinking person would, you cause even further offence by referring to it as "dramatics".

Aren't you a little too old to be trolling and deliberately upsetting bereaved people?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Talk about getting hold of the wrong end of the stick! Where have I commented on Chad's post? It was the suggestion you made that it would be better to allow people to get away with it to ensure a continued subscription that I was talking about.

I do not know the particular circumstances in your friend's case, and I guess we must take that as read. I would have thought that if this was a common problem, we would hear more about it. I know some elderly people who just keep pressing random buttons when their kit doesn't respond and so it could have been accessed accidentally. Just going into a film on Virgin Movies and then coming out of it straight away will still result in a charge.

I have not accused anyone of lying!

You didn't comment on Chad's post; I suggested that you shouldn't in your apparent quest to upset and offend people.

You accused the people who had been wrongly charged for PPV films as lying by inference eg I did not suggest that people should be allowed "to get away with it" in order to ensure a continued subscription.

---------- Post added at 16:22 ---------- Previous post was at 16:19 ----------

Cheers, I'll take a look at that. It did cross my mind (after the testing of Amazon was suddenly pulled by VM) that they had been threatened with the withdrawal of YouTube on the TiVo/V6.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I didn't realise the iplayer app had appeared on my TV until last night. There are loads of TVs now updated to handle the BBC 4K format.

Shame not coming to the V6 (yet)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

You said:

' For the sake of the cost of a PPV film they lost out on these three services' and 'If they stopped doing this sort of thing maybe the constant price rises could stop'.

It was the logic you appeared to be using that VM should not charge people for accessing PPV films in order to retain their custom that I was commenting on. I was not the only person to do so - interesting though that you chose to protest in this way at my post!

Perhaps I should have been clearer, but I don't think my comment justified your over the top response.

I would reiterate that my post was in response to you, not Chad.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

But it was made clear that my late friend did not watch a PPV film, yet was charged for it.

My "over the top response" was in reaction to you saying/inferring that my close friend who died suddenly was a liar and a thief. I won't bother asking for an apology for the uneccesary upset you've caused as the usual pattern is for you to upset people, apologise (sometimes) and then go on to do it all over again shortly afterwards.

I am upset enough as it is without you doing this.

Don't be so daft. I was not referring to your friend. I have already explained to you that I don't know the details of the case you referred to and therefore I did not comment on that.

I have not said anywhere that your friend was a liar, that's your word, not mine. I am not apologising for you taking things the wrong way. That is your problem, I'm afraid.

I suggest you just accept that this has just been a misunderstanding, and move on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

What's that all about, theone? You know we value your information on what's going on out there. Far better than all these DNPs and all that nonsense.

This forum can be pretty volatile at times, but the contributions people make that add to our understanding of what is going on are much valued.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Bearing in mind that some users take every speculative post made in the thread as gospel, it must be a real pain for VM staff to fend off the many queries generated by speculative price increase posts.

In fairness, SP doesn't really identify as "VM Staff" so should have more leeway to respond just as any other forum member would. Perhaps somewhat unfair to describe SP as a disgrace to genuine staff who try to help. I have seen many instances, over the years, where SP has been very helpful. SP is definitely an asset to the forum.

This really isn't a good reason to stop posting information. Not everyone will agree with everything you post, that's just a fact of life.

I think a £7.50/m increase on top of the recent price increase would not work out too well for VM. The reactions seen on the thread so far indicate that it would be a bad move and not very good for their churn figures. I can't see it happening. That said, I can't see me staying with VM if it does.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

For the record SP has always been very helpful and knowledgeable on this forum.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well Spiderplant basically called me a troll i don't know if you can see it but here's proof he isn't as innocent as one thinks he is.

But i must apologise to both the members on here and the mods as i should of handled it better by putting him on ignore which i have done, this isn't the first time Spiderplant has attacked me and Virgin media are now aware of his behaviour.
Although they probably won't know who he is by just a username but by making them aware hopefully he'll think twice before attacking another member.
I do sympathise with VM staff as you do get some trolls but a lot of info i have posted has been correct also a lot has been wrong too i only pass on info i get given so if i'm trolling then MB must be too.
The other VM staff on here i find have always been great.
Also i did say that i personally don't think it will be £7.50p/m rise and will probably only be around £3.50p/m on average so surely i was giving vm a bit of credit there, if i was trolling i would of milked the £7.50p/m wouldn't i?
Also i will apologise to SP for calling him a disgrace, the comment was in anger but i stand by everything else that i said and you was bang out of order.

From 1/12/17 STV AD (North) and STV AD (East) has been testing on satellite, isn't there only one test on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yes, but if the STV AD (North) service testing on Sky is the Aberdeen version, it should be remembered that VM doesn't have a service in that area.

Is AD even available for regional content? "The newsreader is shuffling through her documents" doesn't seem like something that would be useful.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

That probably explains why VM are only testing the one service then.

I guess that AD will be available for regional content if the two versions are testing on satellite.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

From what I've seen in the general listings, AD is pretty much restricted to drama and films on the ITV network so sub regional variations probably won't be useful.

That's disappointing to learn, I had assumed that in this day and age everything would have AD for those with sight impairments

Something i'd like to see is a option 24/7 for sign langue/ audio description etc.

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/asse...6-17.5-NEW.pdf

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

But it is a supplementary audio stream, it just won't work with many programmes, it would clash with the main audio. Also, unlike some other countries which totally replace the audio with a comprehensive AD feed, it doesn't make it easy to use AD for sports commentary for the blind. That doesn't mean that alternative audio streams can't be used to provide that function, they can, but they wouldn't be AD streams to the UK spec.

It's an awkward format.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yes it is MB.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Correct, Bay TV Swansea is carried on VM. The takeover will, presumably, put this into the same category as other That's TV channels carried on VM due to carriage arrangements existing pre-takeover. Interesting to note that the SDT does not refer to Cambridge TV rather than That's TV Cambridge and Mustard TV rather than That's TV Norwich. With none of the original That's TV branded channels having carriage on VM, maybe it's only a matter of time before the acquired channels are removed.

The point of my post, however, was that this is another independently operated local channel being swallowed up by the "big 2" operators.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

But won't the previous owners have signed a carriage contract with VM? Maybe there's a get out clause of some kind eg change of ownership.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Does anyone want/need those crappy channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well, they're all dropping like flies and That's TV obviously don't think its worth paying VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Obviously not!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I would have thought so, and that is probably why "Cambridge TV" and "Mustard TV" still show up in VM's SI data. Interesting that the service names haven't changed to reflect the new owners. Carriage contracts are usually for a fixed term, with That's TV's apparent policy being DTT only, I can't see them renewing the contracts with VM.

---------- Post added at 22:11 ---------- Previous post was at 22:09 ----------

Perhaps if they had been properly thought out and funded. The low quality channels they have turned into leaves a lot to be desired.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I was once told that channels get charged a nominal fee to change their name by the various platforms, if true they may be so short of cash to pay this or aren't bothering as they see no long term future on VM??

Are these two channels actually carrying the new services on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Cambridge is ex-NTL Langley, so I don't have the NIT tables, but the VM channel is advertised on the That's TV web page for Cambridge. The Norwich service is in the VM NIT tables, which suggests it is still being carried but that's not conclusive proof. The That's TV page for Norfolk doesn't advertise the VM channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Thanks, maybe someone who lives in those areas will be able to confirm either way.

Bit of trivia: Apparently, last night's drama 'Barcroft' on ITV was to be one of the new series due to be shown on ITV Encore next year, but as they've decided to close the linear channel they decided to show it instead of programming about the Hatton Garden robbery that they had to pull for legal reasons.

At least VM viewers didn't lose out, not that I can comment about Barcroft as I didn't see it...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

BIB - I just realised that after initially editing that comment, it made no sense whatsoever. So, let's try that again: "Interesting to note that the SDT refers to Cambridge TV rather than That's TV Cambridge and Mustard TV rather than That's TV Norwich."

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Hatton Garden appeared on DigiGuide around about -15 days, but by the time Virgin +14 EPG was downloaded, it had already been pulled and DigiGuide updated.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There was a message from one of the scanners this morning. A few changes: Frequency changes on the Manchester networks (including Stoke). An additional service named "Playboy". A few rebrands, mainly temporary rebrands but, interestingly, Mustard TV has now been renamed as That's Norfolk. Nice timing for that last one. The service name of the Cambridge local TV station was still listed as Cambridge TV.

Those are the main changes. The scans haven't been analysed at this stage, if there were any other changes, I'll post the info later.

If I were a betting man, I'd say it would be on their new streaming service. I can't see any linear UHD services being launched for the time being, although it's worth keeping an eye on Eurosport.
