It will probably just be PPV movies with a small selection of On Demand UHD content on VM in my opinion.

Something is coming to VM November 2015 this is only info i have at the moment but i suspect it is either ultra hd or disneyhd.

Regarding SPIKE i've seen something over on dspy which is saying some SPIKE programming is now available on vm via demand5 catch up tv services.

hope its ultra HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

WTF is Lifetime HD? I mean ffs is this more dross for the few?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

A hd version of lifetime, lifetime replaced the bio channel, lifetime is on vm i believe i don't know what pack it is in though.

Me too but showing what? I really can't see BT allowing their sports channel to be wholesaled on another network, for such a niche product the numbers just couldn't add up, they would know it is better to use it as a USP and build and grow subscriptions on the back of it, Same goes for Sky.

I'm guessing that some channels will launch in 4K and VM will show those. I can see channels like Discovery and National Geographic being early adopters. Maybe ITV too. Then there's Netflix of course. It's a chicken and egg situation as HD was too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Spot on. ATM, the only 4K material is via Netflix and Amazon, which you get via apps on your 4K TV anyway.

As I think MM said, films could be another option. but if Sky started a 'Sky Movies 4K' channel, there is no way they would let VM have it. Maybe VM's PPV movies provider could include 4K movies?

VM will need to get a 4K box at some stage because Sky and BT are launching one and customers won't want to feel left behind. But the usefulness of a VM 4K box, ATM, is at best, minimal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I wouldn't expect those channels to introduce 4K anytime soon , in my opinion 2017 at the earliest , Netflix and Amazon is available to most people buying new 4K sets anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It's in the XL pack.
I can't see why anyone should be disappointed this will now be in HD, surely most channels will launch in HD eventually.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Is that just on TiVo? Checked via my parents V+ box and found no Spike programming

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Its on Demand 5, but not available on VM.

Someone mentioned it on Dspy mate i don't have vm to check, i can confirm SPIKE programming is on demand5 on the web and also on my samsung smart tv and firetv.
Could someone with TIVO please confirm?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

has any got bt UHD is the pic good.with the war between sky and bt we might get the 4k channels but with virgin saying nothing about a 4k box it could be a year or two.any ideas how much a 4k channel would cost a month.
