Last night saw six channels being added to "Total channels" Media Boy HQ think Virgin Media has launch six new Red Button channels ahead BT's UEFA rights starting next Tuesday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

On youview there are a total of 7 bt sport xtra channels also 7 bt sport xtra hd channels too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Sensible addition.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's more like it! More of these apps, please, Virgin!

The films are pay per view, of course, but this app extends the choice available to us, and content is what it's all about.

*smug on* maybe those few doubters they know who they are will have a little faith in me now.

I said something was coming by end of this month :)

It would be good if VM could add the You View app as well, particularly if you can also get the Now TV content on it. That would provide a solution to the annoyance many of us feel that we cannot access Sky Atlantic and ITV Encore through our Tivos.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Youview isn't an app it's the software BT and Talk use on their STB's.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That is what I expect but a bit of a shame as means if you are keen to have the extra channel, you are still sucked into the XL pack with its premium price funding the sports channels you may not want. Great for sport fans but not if you are not bothered about sports and don't want to pay for them, so not the "ideal" option for me.

Pity L pack cannot have AMC as well but expect the AMC channel if it comes will be linked to BT Sports channels, so that means XL TV only.:(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I wonder if you have the L package or below and subscribe to BT Sports as an add-on, will that also include AMC like it does for Sky customers?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Why on Earth would vm want the youview app for? They are completely different platforms it will never happen.
Also the Youview app only shows the freeview channels and it only allows you to set up recordings and reminders and view the tv guide for freeview.
Nowtv on Youview is only the Sky movies on demand there is no entertainment option or sports.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think thet meant the new App advertised in the BT ads which allows you to jump back to goals in live games etc. - which will be on Youview boxes.

As said - the Youview app is their own version of the VM TV Anywhere app

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I believe that you bought a new Sony TV recently. A Youview app is supposedly being added to certain 2015 models later this year (I'm guessing it's the models using the Android interface?). What functionality it will have, I don't know, but could be worth investigating.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Curzon movies eh..........:erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

The app has been on firetv for awhile i personally never used it but i think this is a good addition to VM and independant movie fans will like it.
