My feeling is that this would move people towards the cheaper VM bundles for TV. There is a large proportion of the market that will only have XL TV for Disney.
Assuming that Virgin do not restrict access to XL customers only!

Noticed yesterday that channel 100, the PPV preview channel, had sport advertised in its EPG listings.

Today it has been relabelled as BT Sport Showcase.

I imagine that this is temporary to advertise the free football for those without BT Sport as VM won't want to lose the first EPG slot used for advertising PPV films.

Wonder if it's the same on non TiVo boxes?

Yes, it is temporary, and it is the same on non-TiVos.

The first programme in the series of Outcast has now appeared.

Thanks, it was a good idea as it highlighted the free sport available to customers.

Back to normal today though.

Do you know if any recordings made from this channel are accessible after the free period ends? I ask because i'm assuming that this channel is a simulcast of one of the BT Sport channels, which are premium channels and I believe that any recordings made from premium channels (Sky or otherwise) cannot be accessed once access to said channel ceases??

I think recordings should work. The free channel is totally unrelated to the premium channels as far as STBs are concerned. The channel is now on 548.

Been looking through some shows not yet picked up by a uk network and narrowed it down to ones that VM could potentially go for to continue their exclusive on demand content. IMDB links are included too.
Damien - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4337944/combined now cancelled but still decent.
Stitchers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3868848/combined
Salem - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2963254/combined
The red road - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2505072/combined
The fosters - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262532/combined very surprised this hasn't been picked up yet.
Last man standing - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1828327/combined

l remember a few years ago there was a list as long as your arm before Sky flaunted their bottomless chequebooks at all the content.

The problems comes MM when Sky buy up 90% of the content so the vast majority of us can't see it unless one subscribes to their packages and seeing their bottomless pockets are much bigger then anybody else's this will sadly continue to the detriment of anybody who does not subscribe to Sky packages.

They haven't bought up 90% of content and the Entertainment content they have bought can be had for £4-£5 a month.

I don't mind the programmes being available on just the Sky packages provided the channels on which they appear are accessible on all pay tv platforms.
