Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Before we all say good news can any Virgin employees confirm if this is true?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Staff members will not deny or confirm anything as they are not allowed to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

If that is true that would be superb but as with anything to do with VM I'll believe it when I see it!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

What a wonderfully worded rumour! Just enough information to make it a possibility but not enough to make it a probability. Love it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

It may or may not be significant that the post has not (so far) been mysteriously removed by the VM mods on the Tivo forum. Perhaps when the new shift starts at 8.00?

The OP goes on to elaborate further, and claims again to be a VM insider with access to next month's Electric magazine.

A note of caution. You need to distinguish 'Sky Anytime' from 'Sky Anytime +' which is a full VoD service delivered over (Sky) broadband.

As I understand it, Sky Anytime is a virtual VoD service which records 'selected' shows on a reserved partition of users' Sky+ boxes - a bit like Tivo 'Suggestions' but without the thumbs-up thumbs down feature, or any element of indivdual choice.

Still useful to have though.

Strange that Gunslinger seems to claim to be VM staff on the VM forum.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

some good news

Hi,

Sky Anytime+ is launching on our platform later this year. We haven't produced a full annoucement or any detail on the service because the Electric magazine is the only channel where we've mentioned the launch of these services, and we want a fuller shout (with more detail) to coincide with a press release and arrive closer in advance to the date of launch. As soon as our communications have been finalised, I will let you know!

'Really' channel (267) is going into TV M from 2nd August

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Well I for one really think VM are coming on leaps and bounds in the tv department now the announcement has been confirmed, well done VM and sorry for being sceptical!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

News to me - Thanks for info.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Ben, anything news from you re: the Sky Anytime rumours on here ??? :)

Also any confirmation of if we're definitly getting Match Choice/ Football First via Red Button when it 'goes live' for the Premiership?

Cheers fella!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

Can't comment on the Sky stuff because as with any launch, full details are confidential until it's announced properly - so I don't actually know yet ;)

Ditto for Red Button.

Soon as I do I'll post (unless MB gets there before me!)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Just to add I have not got any new info on Sky Anytime or the Sky Sports Red Button.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
 

That was posted above about half an hour ago ;)

However, I would expect Nick has just posted that to calm the rumour mill down a bit same as he did with the TiVo Red Button thread here http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/.../623757#M11607

:D
