SA is (probably) the last high profile channel that VM need to add to their current TV line up (excluding +1s and HD versions of channels we already have). If we had SA, what else would there be to talk about ? ( This is rhetorical :td:) This forum allows people to discuss their views about it, without the need to be told that we'll never get it....and to be honest, it's boring now. I actually like the talk about if we will get it or when MB says he has a DNP, the forum picks up and gets lively again.... Sky need VM as much as VM need Sky...SA will eventually land on VM, it's just the question of when? Could be 1month from now, or could be 10years from now...but to discuss it with everyone is what brings us all here. |
I'm looking forward to Fortitude on SA. I have NowTV.
I believe I have read that Fortitude will be shown in all off Sky Europe's countries and the US the same day, is SA available in Europe? If it is, what's the big deal if VM got it? |

He said that the only places he'd ever seen both in a set up was in asian households. He explained that the pay channels on VM were better value for them (VM have a special package for asian customers), but that they needed satellite to access FTA channels or for pay boquets not available on VM. VM have a special package for asian customers. As I say this was several years ago, so I don't know if the situation has changed or not. If VM are improving their asian packages, they may be able to get this community to cut out Sky/satellite altogether. It just goes to show that, whilst on their own, minority channels may not seem to make VM any money, they do help when the bigger picture is looked at. ---------- Post added at 22:58 ---------- Previous post was at 22:51 ---------- Quote:

People in the UK generally have a dislike of country music, possibly because of some of the cheesy stuff produced in the 70s, so I guess audience figures were low. That is a shame because the music they played was New Country, performed by people who grew up listening to 70s Rock music and traditional country, and it was as much AOR as Country; more Eagles - not Tammy Wynette! Even when New Country was released in the UK when people like Shania Twain had some hits, it was re-mixed for the UK release, to 'de-twang' it, to try to make it less country. |

HBO Nordic does and that is the service the rest of the world needs. Fortunately, HBO are going to start providing that, starting in 2015. Let's hope that Sky's deal with HBO until 2020 doesn't screw it up for the UK. It is interesting that the head of HBO brags about GOT being the most illegally downloaded show. |

It's not the absence of news, is it? It's confirmation of the possibility that there might be news - nothing more, nothing less. And it's not dressed up as anything it isn't, either. From somebody who is still getting excited about a snippet of apparent news from over a year ago, and posting almost as fact what you have extrapolated from it, I think this is more than a little rich! I'm watching something on syfy hd at the moment and they are heavily trailing shows on Universal. Are they from the same stable? I'm really hoping Universal hd might be one of the dnp's. |

Why is it so difficult to go these remaining variant HD channels, are these broadcasters holding out for an unrealistic amount of money to be on VM TV platform?
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
I assume Virgin have signed multi-year deals with the channel owners which have included the hd variants of their channels at the time the deal was signed, but we'll have to wait for the deals in place to finish and be renegotiated before any hd variants that have popped up in the meantime can be added??
Is that right? Was syfy hd available when Virgin dealt with Universal, but not Universal hd? Or did they do a deal which included some, but not all, of a channel owner's hd variants? |

I do agree though, even if we exclude the content from other continents, there is still far too much rubbish on the telly.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
We pay for the rubbish to get the good stuff, that's why when iptv is finally flexible enough and technically smooth enough company's like VM will probably not be able to force you to subsidise loss making channels by forcing a package on you with 100 channels you will never even flick through, never mind watch.
