No idea.

To keep the call centre happy in Swansea? :D All I can guess is the Welsh Government leaned on VM and this was a compromise.

Of course if/when they qualify for subsequent rounds.......?:dozey:

Positive news. It also says "Virgin Media is on the hunt for US serialised dramas and single camera comedies.."

Beyond you and pretty much everyone else in the world as well. ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wonder if these US dramas, if acquired, would be added as an exclusive VOD rather than an actual new channel?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Probably. Both Ash vs Evil Dead, and Kingdom have both been via On Demand

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I can't believe, that in 2016, we still have an added HD charge.

Yeah it would make sense

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

In other countries, I think LGI have a Netflix-style service that's included as part of the base package. I can see VM building up to this type of offering.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

We have launch an post on Media Boy Blog for all the up to date info on channels testing on Virgin Media UK.

We will update when we get more information.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Those same eight channels were mentioned by you five days ago, I don't think anything has altered since the 19th has it?

The colour TV licence still costs more than a black and white licence and I can't remember the last householder I knew with a black and white TV!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Nothing has altered since last Thursday.

But reported on here over the weekend says that Arabic Hafla was no longer testing.

We have been told today that Arabic Hafla IS still testing.

Also We have post any news on more channel testing on both Cable Forum and Media Boy Blog.
