Well if he is, and the information is correct, he is putting himself and Virgin at risk of breaching Competition Law. Not a smart move to share your companies future future plans and strategies in public, prior to deals being finalised or announced. An employee should not discuss or share or submit or otherwise provide competitively sensitive, confidential information to competitors or through third parties to competitors, i.e. future company plans, policies, strategies, ideas etc… Third party competitors such as SKY, BT, Talk Talk and YouView can easily visit this forum and get access to the information.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Do anyone think more channels will launch tonight with Ginx TV?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I know mate. The best thing is to stay level headed, and hopefully we will be in for a welcome surprise come August. :D

---------- Post added at 23:06 ---------- Previous post was at 23:05 ----------

I doubt it, but has there been any updates regarding Premier Sports?

Cheers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

No updates in months on Premier Sports

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Thanks. Shame they are showing some football matches that VM customers can't see, when very few are on elsewhere.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I reckon if we get these channels we'll known end of next week at latest

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I hope that you are right, but to be honest with you, i really can't see us getting them at no extra cost to XL customers, or as Bomber said, it may only cost a couple of quid more, but as i've said previously, i'll believe it when it's on the EPG.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Ginx.tv now broadcasting on channel 286 in M+ pack.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Indeed his strong dark powers are not what they once were.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I hope they can do a better job than previous gaming channel attempts, it would be great if they can actually pull this off as gaming on TV is very lacking in this country. It seems a strange time to launch though, they could have got a lot of viewer if they had launch prior to E3 and done E3 coverage.

Just gonna go with that Josh doesn't have his facts right...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

He's basically saying that ESPN America and ESPN Classic will still broadcast in the UK but we have to now wait to see whether ann agreement can be reached with BT to keep them on our platform. Josh knows his stuff, he just could have worded that a bit better.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

No, ESPN Classic is definitely closing and America most likely is too (though http://ESPN.co.uk/nextseason makes it ambiguous as to whether it is staying or going.) ESPN is definitely staying so 'Josh' knows sweet bugger all.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I hope they do it well too.

Re the timing - yeah they may have missed E3, but the PS4 and Xbox One are about to launch! Tis a good time for next gen console and game reviews! :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Haha, I love the way his name is in quatation marks as if he's a fictionl figure, Josh is real and he's quite a nice guy :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I thought the quotes was because he knows of a secret identity, like in the comic books

Virgin man!, who fights to ensure the territory of Virgin Media is safe from internet trolls
(not to be confused with the first "Virgin man", who was so named for his predilection for virgins of all genders)

Or Sky man!, fighting the satellite airwaves for any bad publicity
(not confused with the first and second "Sky man", the first who was known in the 70s for pot smoking, and saying "look at the sky man", or the second who was man of the 80s, swatting down businesses with his blue sky thinking)

Has nobody seen the latest BT sports advert?

They specifically mention that BT sports will not be available to Virgin Customers and come the 1st of August they will lose EPSN.

They say to keep watching ESPN sign up to BT Broadband and you can keep watching ESPN for free.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Very few people on here will have seen it, their eyes can't see through sand.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Oh dear here we go again we will find out in next few weeks if we are getting it or not so chill out and the rumours will go on

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

SKY customers, who are members of SKY's development site, get to vote which pop up channel they'd like to see. Looks like SKY Superhero won the vote. I was hoping for SKY Movies 80's. My suggestion of SKY Movies Schwarzenegger didn't get the nod either :(

Apparently, Media Boy said on his blog that Cable Forum member Bomber AF posted about BT Sport and Sky Atlantic launching on Virgin Media on 1st August. Does this mean we will also get the remaining BT Sport channels and Sky's remaining basic TV channels (excluding Sky Atlantic HD).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

MB said if he gets it confirmed he post it here or on his blog

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

BT Sport is the group of channels, BT Sport 1 is the individual channel.

Whilst I agree that there are risks involved, the whole point of this thread is for people to get a heads up of new channels launches in advance of any official announcement by VM.

Without such leaks, this thread may as well be redirected to the official VM website!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

there will be no bt sports on the 1st august!!

Is that an opinion? Insider knowledge?

Or just a hopeful view? :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Its got as much credibility as Bomber's 'inside info'.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

At the moment its just all rumoured speculation without any substance to it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

That's what I mean, but if its positive everyone clings onto it, if its negative its dismissed as trolling, etc.
