Is this guy Telford Cable reincarnated?
The amount of trolls that are currently roaming the land of Cable Forum are going to end up pushing me away. This thread seems to be going off in all directions; all directions but the correct direction that is Coming Soon to Virgin TV.

I would use the ignore feature, but I shouldn't have to!

I hope Universal HD might come this year. They did sign a agreement with NBC Universal.
http://mediacentre.virginmedia.com/S...ution-1c5.aspx
I hope Universal HD was included in that deal and maybe Virgin Media had to let Sky have it is a exclusive for over a year.

You do know about the CAT APPEAL ?
Virgin Media have appealed to the CAT to get Sky Sports HD3 AND Sky Sports HD4 included in the WMO obligation
Quote:

NOTICE OF APPEAL UNDER SECTION 317(6) OF THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT 2003
CASE No: 1156/8/3/10

In summary, the principal grounds of appeal on which Virgin Media relies are as follows:
1. OFCOM has failed to consider relevant matters in deciding to exclude Sky Sports 3 and/or 4 from
the scope of the WMO obligation or, alternatively, any such consideration was inadequate and/or
incorrect.
2. OFCOM has failed to impose any control on the wholesale prices that Sky may charge for the supply
of Sky Sports 1 and/or 2 where they are bundled with Sky Sports 3 and/or 4 and/or any of Sky’s
Core Premium Movie channels.
3. The methodology adopted by OFCOM to calculate the maximum prices for the supply of Sky Sports
1 and Sky Sports 2 under the WMO obligation is flawed.
4. OFCOM has made an error in the mechanism which applies to calculate the maximum prices under
the WMO obligation following changes in Sky’s own retail prices.
Quote:

The appeals in Cases 1156/8/3/10, 1157/8/3/10, 1158/8/3/10 and 1159/8/3/10 were heard together between 9 May 2011 and 15 July 2011. Judgment is pending.

If it takes as long as the Competition Commission will will not get a result for 2 years from when the case was submitted?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 
Based on your logic, because we are unlikely to get any more Sky channels with Ofcom's help, Virgin Media have to release a higher tier package making themselves more expensive than Sky making more people switch to Sky.

So because your impatient and think Virgin Media even have the money to compete with Sky you want them to go into bankruptcy.

Genius.

So you will be looking at February 2013.

No l won't stop moaning, there are new channels coming out, customers of VM want them and yet it takes them ages to get them through 'talks'

Lets put it this way, customers are crying out for Atlantic, what are VM doing about it - nothing.

Arthur, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly, Sky Atlantic is "exclusive to Sky" - it is their prime marketing point at the moment, and they aren't sharing it with BT or VM.

At the moment and that can change quickly and it's not been withheld.

That reply is what is known as a "placeholder" - it is meaningless.

You and I are in discussion/talks at the moment, but we are going nowhere.;)

Link is dated August - talks going well then, especially as Sky told their customers this month that Atlantic is exclusive to them.

The frontline teams get told about any new channels the same time as customers do

So any 'I got told by an agent'...are made up

If/when Virgin get Sky Atlantic there will be a press release just as there was for Sky Anytime and the UKTV channels

Not true. Staff do not get told about new channel launches until just before a launch or announcement is made to the public.

"Probably not true" would be being over-optimistic, imho.

"no basis in reality", "untrue", "made up" would probably be more accurate.

Classic stuff!

Sums up this thread too really. There's no point asking Media Boy what's coming soon or whether he's had an update. If it's coming soon, Virgin will announce it. It there is an update Media Boy will post it. Does anyone seriously think Media Boy wouldn't post an update in this thread if he heard anything about the ITV HD channels launching? Does anyone seriously think Media Boy wouldn't post an update in this thread if he heard anything about SKY Atlantic launching? You get my drift...

What has happened to this thread is sad. It's being raped rotten day in, day out. When Media Boy dreamed this thread up, I'm sure he had no idea it'd be such hard work. I'm also sure he's surprised at how much general trash is posted day in, day out. Sometimes there are 20, 30, 40 posts on here that add no value at all.

Red Wine and the internet don't mix :(

[Reported Post concerns regarding this thread]:-

The use of the reported post facility is being abused by some people. It is to be used for Harrassment, Rude type of posts only.

It should not be used, just because you simply disagree with someone elses view or because someone else disagrees with you.

If someone calls someone elses idea or solution 'Stupid' - this is not insulting, nor is harrassment.

Not everyone shares the same views and this is what debating is all about, people communicating and submitting points across and some people might have strong opposing views, this is allowed, so long as it is a constructive disagreement that does not end up becoming a flame war - that is when we WILL step in.

As the saying goes, we are not the thought Police. So some members are advised to make proper use of the Reported post facility. Thank you.
