There are known knowns, there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns, that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. But VM might know ;) |

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
A big list MB as always but in the end it adds up to a whole lot of not a lot comming anytime in the foreseeable future in reality.
Obviously not critising you MB just VM for nothing new for several months apart from Sky Arts which was listed last year and sky red button also listed last year and only just about to launch (possibly). Very slow going and poor show from VM who have gone TiVo potty and forgotten its not gonna be any good unless they put content on it. :dozey: |

Get a grip! Of course VM are concentrating on TIVO. It's a HUGE project. But we already know to expect more HD and SD channels. I myself have been critical in the past (mostly about the FTO HD not ebing available) and they may not come as quickly as you would like but sheesh...how much TV can one person watch?! |

On Demand is not huge at all IMHO ... on demand is better than nothing but the potential is huge with on demand which isnt being exploited , on demand is again mainly based on repeats of very recent things and not on the archive stuff which is what it should be filled with IMHO. TiVo may well be the wonder box you say but it still only basically trawls for repeats of recently missed things or upcomming repeats of the same old things. TiVo does not provide new content only new channels can bring that or new paid for apps on TiVo like Lovefilm if they ever agree a deal. |

If/when VM get ALL the HD Sky has then I hope same said people won't start grumping about price rises to cover it. + We've been told that more is coming soon (lol) And althhough we have to wait longer when they've promised they've delieverd. Wasn't too long ago i remember reading how disgusted people were that VM had "lied" about Sky Arts HD coming... |

Not strictly true a new customer pays an HD activation charge. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
Coming soon is getting a tad boring now,Tivo is amzing but new content especially hd is needed.Were is universal HD ? amongst others can undestand delays on sky stuff but there`s channels on freesat that we aint got on here,We have just had a price increase on tv xl surely that wasn`t only for sky arts?
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
I've got a 50" Pioneer plasma, which has the best upscaling I've ever seen on a TV, so content is more important to me personally.
Out of the long list of Sky channels, the only shows I would like to see are on Sky Atlantic. Having said that there are only 2! Game of Thrones, which having read the books, could well be a disappointment, and Mad Men for the missus. which hasn't been sorted out, due to contractual differences. Tivo coming Wednesday - so I'm happy with Virgin at the moment.... (As long as they finally get the pricing right) This is a personal opinion, I realise everybody wants different things. |

HD is the present, to have so little by comparison to Sky is pathetic, especially in nature programme field which HD really sets off. Add CBS channels missing movie channels and still some HD movies, Atlantic etc the list goes on. With Virgin's response being as ever sub standard |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
In your and denphone's opinion, to which you are entitled.
I think it may be the style of the message delivered, rather than the content - the constant negative repetitive whining (imho). |

Indeed, VM took an AGE to get the non-exclusive and FTA HD channels but they did so after we *******ed them about it. They listened, learned and responded. It makes perfect buisness sense to choose the most valuable HD channel and the ones WE wanted the most...and i repeat, VM XL (etc) customers get a lot of HD channels a little or no extra charge. I want to see all those complaining about the lack of CBS and ITV2 HD not utter a word if VM feel forced into supplying them and then have to raise prices as a result. ---------- Post added at 17:30 ---------- Previous post was at 17:29 ---------- Quote:

Why should Sky have to hand over their channels their not a charity , in fact they do hand channels over when prices are met Sky Arts HD channels are proof of that.

Errrm, Sky only allowed access to their HD channels as part of the deal where VM agreed to seel their tv channels to them. Which kind of proves the opposite of what you are saying it does. If VM hadn't sold them those channels they wouldn't have allowed access at any reasonable price. |

Well we know the price VM are paying for the premium HD channels is based on the what Ofcom said was a reasonable price and the only way they have got those now is because of the channel sale. It tends to suggest Sky don't want to sell them on at a reasonable price doesn't it and that VM will pay a reasonable price if given the opportunity. |

Agree, most on here are beyond compare but it's like watching Jedward you know they are ridiculous but can't help but watch to see what rubbish they come up with next. It almost seems that the usual suspects Hugh etc actively revel in Virgin doing little to nothing to improve the tv service they provide. Sky are not your enemy just your superior and Virgin refuse to fight back. Sky therefore become richer and richer thus being able to pound Virgin deeper into the ground. |
