I'm ex Telewest and I've got all the radio channels.:confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

The following Radio DO broadcast on Ex-Telewest:

BBC Radio 4 LW on Channel 911
RTE Radio on Channel 917
WRN Radio on Channel 920.

but the rest is not broadcasting on Ex-Telewest areas yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I have just checked out the whole raft of BBC radio channels and they are all broadcasting right now!!!:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I was on about BBC Radio Wales and Magic 105.4 - the one that are only in Ex-ntl or Ex-C&W areas.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

So it seems we're definatly on for more HD channels in 2010

Do our very reliable sources (you know who you are ;) :p ) have any ideas on when and what?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I don't know anything for certain, but if you look at what's available, Sky channels excepted, there are only really a handful up for grabs; History, Bio, SciFi, ITV1, British Eurosport, Discovery, Disney Cinemagic, CI, Nat Geo Wild and Rush TV.

The only one Virgin has actually mentioned to my knowledge was a possible Good Food HD channel but one would hope that ITV1 HD won't be too long in escaping from its Freesat chains.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Although no new channels are currently testing, I think you believe that Zone Horror will be replaced with a new CBS branded channel before January (quite probably CBS Drama, I would imagine). Is this still the case?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Virgin Media take Telewest ''Heart'' out.

An Ex-Telewest viewer has email me over the weekend with the following:



---------- Post added at 12:43 ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 ----------

I have no news on the date for the Zone Horror rebranded yet. CBS Drama will join Virgin when CBS/Zone Media sign an new deal with Virgin.

NOTE: Zone Horror will not be replaced by CBS Drama it will be replaced by CBS Movies or CBS Horror.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

So I take that there are no whispers on the horizon about E4HD which seems to be launching soon appearing on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

The E4 web site says E4 HD will only be on Sky HD from launch.

http://www.e4.com/e4hd.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

It makes me so annoyed when VM just go ahead and take channels off air, without even doing a customer survey first. argh.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Can't be long till E4 HD launches then, if they have a page set up for it. Shame it won't be on VM as well, poor decision.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

is thistrue if u look at channel4hd it states only sky as well

http://www.channel4.com/entertainmen...al_TV/4HD.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

well virign made it clear they where talkign about e4 hd before this was even annouced ie via there survey so it might it wont launch on virgn when it launches which makes sense since they have said there contration on narga 3 and analgoue switch off and maybe iptv

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

It's a shame VM can't bring us E4HD on launch. AFAIK they do have free bandwidth to let us have the channel.

It's a FTA channel right?! So why such delay?!

I very much hope 2010 brings us more HD...especially for me, Eurosport.

I'm not holding out any hope of any Sky HD as OFCOM is being scrapped when the Tories get in so nothing they say will be binding.... but SKY aside there are still plenty of decent HD channels out there...

I hop it will be either a drip drip add every so often or a MASSIVE HD addition earleir on in 2010 and we wont have to wait until June/July for one more!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I wouldn't worry too much about the curbing of OFCOM they have been quite toothless over so many things, even if they do have their powers reduced there is still the office of fair trading and competitions commission. Of course the whole process will need to be started again.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I have received an email for channel 4 confirming that E4HD will launch on Sky only.
" However, we do hope to make it available on other platforms in the future"

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Seems to be a poor move by Channel 4 to me. Unless Sky are paying them a large chunk of money, I can't see any benefit for them to go Sky exclusive.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

If it's not Sky showering them with cash then lets be honest. With their track record it's far more likely VM said "no thanks" to E4HD for some reason.

I bet a £ to a penny that VM turned it down rather than Channel 4 not offering it. :td:

Dear Andrew, Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding E4HD. This will also be made available on other platforms in future; although atpresent we have no further information as to when this will be and on whatplatforms. In the meantime to receive Channel 4 HD you will need a Sky HDbox and a HDTV. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us here at Channel 4 and foryour interest in our programming.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

So even C4 don't realise that C4HD is available on Virgin.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

So because a channel jumps on the HD fad that means Virgin should add it straight away?!?!

Give them a chance to sort out the contracts and add new channels in their own time, after all they have already given you more HD channels on their service than ever before.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

lets face it though it was not hard for VM to actually add more HD channels than ever before considering it only ever had 1 full HD channel in the first place. all VM needed to do was add 1 more channel and that would of been a 100% increase in HD channels.

seriously though more HD on VM is needed especially with Sky offering their HD box for free. even a trickle of one channel here and there would be nice things like eurosport HD, ITV HD, discovery HD, History HD would be more than welcome and should be pretty easy to add especially as all the channel owners are all laying blame with VM inability to sort things out rather than the fact that the channel owners are unwilling or tied to exclusive deals.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

You do realise to get the box for 'free' you have to sign up to Sky Movies and the HD pack for 12 months?

So you are looking at minimum cost of £37 a month and you still have to pay £30 to get it installed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

C4HD on virgin... devilincarnate was taking about E4HD not on virgin yet (different channels) but even CH4 got it wrong in e-mail sent back (In the meantime to receive Channel 4 HD you will need a Sky HDbox and a HDTV.) and yes they do mention E4HD at start of e-mail :dozey:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

( :D :yes: )

...Well said :Yes:

Look im a big VM fan...i probbaly wouldn't go to Sky even if i could (which i can't) but they have arsed aroud when it comes to HD and YET again Sky get the jump over them on ANOTHER HD channel... it just gets a bit emabrassing...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I'm content with VM.

Picture box is good value with the HD films shown for a fiver a month, some of them classics and movis on Channel 4 HD. Got ESPN for HD footie.

I still look to this thread though every week to see if there is any breaking news on additional HD channels, which would be great only if the content of additional channels are worth watching. Some of the HD Channels on SKY are a waste of time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

True, true... I'd like Sky Sports for the tennis and maybe Sky 1 for the last season of Lost and Sky Movie Premier..but it's not gonna happen... meh!

naeskydish is a cracking name BTW LOL!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

if you know a SKY subscriber I believe you can get the box free without having to subscribe to movies and both get £50 M+S vouchers

I have vouchers for this but think I threw them out( these were for a SKY HD PARTY which I signed up for to get a free £10 M+S voucher so maybe different lol)

---------- Post added at 12:26 ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 ----------

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

which leads us to the conclusion it was VM who said thanks but no thanks ...tut...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

how does it? who said they wont be launching it???? they could pull espn on us or it might launch in janaury with mroe channels we dnt know nothing is known, you are gorfetting virgn in there survey let us know of e4hd before it was even know so there clearly in negoetion for it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Probably basing it on Cables track record. The chances are quite high that it won't be on VM rather then it will.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I agree it doubt it iwll be on launch but i think it will be by before the end of next year, and i petty sure we will see a big channel increase middle of next year once analogue is gone and once narga 3 is fully implentmented

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I don't believe its that easy for VM to add an extra HD channel just like that.
Unless they have spare HD capacity they have to add the equipment required to carry it and test it across the whole network

Or they could be planning to ad E4HD at the same time as ITVHD when the latter is freed from its current Freesat shackles

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Have they the spare capacity?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

In reports due to bandwith this is fron 2006 and it states what is possibly happening with vm and also what is happening with the anologue switch off :

http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2006/06/6985.ars

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

On MB's first post there are all those region BBC and ITV channels that are not live. Are they so that we will be able to see all regions or just for testing before combining them into capacity for new HD channels (like they did with showing Sky channels on the 30 new channels they added to the bandwidth before we got increased HD) :confused:

Edit: Having all the BBC and ITV regions available to everyone would be pretty wasteful of bandwidth considering how little difference there is between the regions apart from local news

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Thanks Media Boy. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Your Welcome.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

My main point, i guess, is that AGAIN VM don't keep us fully informed. If they have the fullest of intentions of adding EDHD then why not tell us? Why not say "Look we hope to have E4HD on our platform in 2010 but at the minute we are trying to free up badwidth."

But we're always kept in the dark!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

If Virgin did turn round tomorrow and say what you want them to say, there would then be a thread started on 1st Jan 2010 going 'Well VM said E4HD would be here in 2010, it's now 2010 so where is it'. This thread would then continue with people getting more and more frustrated until it finally appeared, and then it would turn into 'is that it?'

VM's default channel policy applies - which is that they always review their channel line up and will add channels if they bring value to the platform and when they reach a commercial agreement with the broadcaster.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

Ben, for me personally i would like to be kept informed! Even if they said

"Dont worry, we are not ignoring the fact more and more HD channels are appearing and we plan to add this to our service at the 1st possible opportunity."

Simple. The fact NOTHING is said depsite Channel 4 wanting E4HD to be on multi platforms.

It makes this part of VM look second best when we all know what ability the platform has.

BTW i'll say it once more... i love VM...their service and indeed customer service is brilliant IMO... but this one department, HD, looks second class.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

They may want it to be, but they don't seem particularly concerned.

For instance, why isn't E4HD launching on Freesat at exactly the same time as Sky? It's carried on the same satellite so it wouldn't take up any more space, just an EPG pointer. Why isn't C4HD already on Freesat?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

That says it all really.

Without wanting to sound obnoxious (some may say i've already failed) i couldn't care less about freesat because i don't have it so i don't get your point.

This is really just another minor annoyance amongst the whole raft of VM HD annoyances. They've not helped their own cause by keeping quiet and hopeing we don't read SKY or Chnl4 press announcments.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I mean Channel 4, not VM

My point is that if C4 were REALLY concerned about getting E4HD multi-platform then it would be launching on Freesat at the same as Sky. As it's not, that says to me there is something else going on.

And in those press releases it's made quite clear it's going to be on Sky only, so what can VM add apart from 'No we've not got it'?

---------- Post added at 10:07 ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 ----------

I would expect that any HD content from E4HD is likely to turn up in the 4OD section on VM TV (if it's not there already), so it's not like you will miss out on any of the content either

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

I sent an email to sky by mistake which should have been for ch4 instead but got a reply from skys department which deals with new channels and his reply was contact ch 4 direct to ask if it was coming to freesat or virgin.I know it wont appear on freesat due to being no space at the moment.Also in sky press realease it said multi year deal and not exclusive so it could come to virgin sooner rather than later.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

There's plenty of space on freesat.

The only thing that stops channels launching on freesat is they firstly need to be broadcast free to air, and secondly have to pay for a freesat EPG slot.

I'd be willing to bet that the reason it's not launching on freesat is that sky have insisted it's broadcast encrypted, something they often do in return for subsidised (or even free) epg slots.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
 

They seem to have an annoying system, whereby once the the first lot of episodes are removed from the service (it should say how many days they have left on there), the remaining ones are added. They did this with Chuck Season 1, much to my annoyance.

Has Virgin Media axe Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio?

An Ex-Telewest viewer has email me to say that Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio has gone from the London area.

Can anyone from the London area of Ex-Telewest, Ex-CW or Ex-ntl viewer tell me if Magic 105.4 and Kiss Radio is still broadcasting on their area.
