ABN TV on channel 842 has closed on VM. However, there is audio over the closedown slate. Not sure if this is the audio for ABN or something else :confused:

Edit: It does sound like the channel audio.

An HD version of 5Star will be launched on Virgin Media later this year.

yea I saw this by chance earlier on, I think someone has forgot the turn the audio feed off

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Where was that announced? Last time this seemed to be a thing, a month or so ago after a misinterpretation of DBR website data, it turned out to be a Catch-up stream.

Looks like someone's sorted it

If you go to the Virgin Media page, it's listed there as 2019.

AIUI, anyone can edit this website like Wikipedia. Some things turn out to be correct, but others have been added as fact as a result of things like forum misinterpretation or rumour.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

We saw it closing down at midnight on Friday Night.

It was only on Virgin for 14 months - we think it was on an roll over deal (ABN or Virgin can bin deal anytime and give 28days notice).

But Virgin did move ABN over to MPEG4.

This is great news and long overdue! It will mean less hassle for me

Hello everyone,
Sorry I've been really quiet, but I'm catching up now.

Amazon App was a great suprise. Really good news there

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Amazon App is a great addition, however what will the cost be? Free for XL and above would be a massive boost to suscriptions.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

Are you a member of Amazon Prime?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

I suspect it will not be available to subscribe via VM. BT offer the app but no subscription option.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
 

That doesn't mean that such an arrangement cannot be negotiated, though, as Sky has done for Netflix. If VM agreed to encourage new subscribers and get commission for that (or alternatively pay Amazon less per subscriber to advertise the service) then Amazon could be bundled with other SVOD services enabling VM to offer a bouquet of services for less cost. They could use that money perhaps to provide viewers with ITV Hub+ and All4+ so we could get catch up and other exclusives without having to negotiate those unskippable ads.

There's lots they could do to offer a good value for money streaming package for Full House, VIP and V VIP customers. It might even encourage more people onto the upper tiers.
