Virgin Media Ireland's TV Anywhere says it still broadcasting on Virgin Media Ireland.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Any petition, which l have signed. VM will NOT listen to customers. If they did, we would have SA
They are quick enough to put prices up. But not quick enough to put on a FREE TO AIR CHANNEL

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Lol, that's true enough! :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Quite agree, absolutely disgraceful that we haven't got Freesports by now.

Why do VM take so long to sort these things out?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

As Free Sports IS own by Premier Sports their may wait until Virgin's UK Deal with Premier Sports to add both Premier Sports HD and Freesports.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

And perhaps eventually we will get Freeview Sports HD by the time that happens

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Maybe they are waiting for the HD version. The channel in standard definition does not look great.

In the meantime, anyone without an aerial desperate to see Freesports can view it on the TV Player.

Thanks for that Oldboy, we are not able to get FreeSport via freeview here.:):)

I know that l whinge about VM. At the end of the day, its US that end up paying for a second rate Tv cable company.

I cannot persuade my wife to ditch VM altogether. I have got so fed with price increases, There promise of 'to give the customer the value for money'

While their directors lap up free lunches and playing golf all the time.
When they asked us what we want - we don't get it.

They put on tv channels that most people don't want. We have been offered SA so many times by Sky. But, VM have said that its too expensive.

Freesport - is a FREE TO AIR CHANNEL, and VM still don't have it. It doesn't matter if contracts are with another company - Premier Sports.

All directors have to do is sit round a table and thrash a deal out.

The VM sales team were out in force today in Hounslow. When they asked me, l said ' my wife said we are with VM already. I said, the sooner it goes the better. Instead of saying, why ?, can we get you a better deal to stay' the guy walked away. And said 'never mind'

Some company reps try there best to keep customers. But l think customers will simply walk away from VM, after April - when l believe prices are going up again.

And then in six months, they will do the same again.

And especially, if its true that Sky will go down the same road and get cables. Like it said in the press.

Been there. Done that. Got the teashirt.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

What makes you think Sky's wired service will carry FTA channels automatically. These channels currently only pay Sky for an EPG listing. Something here is making me think Sky are heading for a hybrid service with this offering, supplemented by either Freeview or a dish.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Now TV provide FTA channels, so I don't see why the Sky internet TV system won't. In fact, it won't be such an attractive proposition without it.

The big question really is whether the Sky internet TV service will be on demand/streaming only. I don't think it will be (at least at this stage) but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Having said that, Sky make too much money from advertising on their channels, so my bets are on a live tv option being very prominent on their UI, at least for the next decade.
