On-location bits from old BBC shows were generally shot on film which could be rescanned into HD if the originals still exist, but studio filming was on tape which would have been re-used.

Which is most likely the source of VMs feed. The dish farm at Langley is still well used for most the non-HD content, although VM can pull the feed from Crystal Palace if they wanted to use Freeview as a source.

Someone on Twitter was saying that the picture Q is awful too on Sky.

It is more than fine - it's equal to or better than the Freeview picture for me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

That's TV feed is coming from sky as that's tv freeview do not broadcast on freeview from 4am to 6am

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

PQ is irrelevant on 1970's sitcoms. Content and script in all it's naffness is everything ;)

( has to be said though, 'it ain't half hot mum' was crap in the 1970's and it still is...)

BREAKING NEWS:

Media Boy UK sources has reveal that the FAST channels launching via some Virgin Media boxes (TV360 and Virgin Media Stream) has of 6pm tonight has now been postponed.

All I have been told as of 8.55pm tonight is the FAST channels has been delayed now until next month.

No new date was given.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. They are already available elsewhere and, as I don't bother watching them there, I probably won't watch them on Virgin either. Much of the content seems fairly decent, so should be of interest to some viewers when it eventually launches.

love the speed of your updates MB.

Do we expect to see any big changes? i assume TNT have inherited all the BT Sports rights? Were any due to expire this summer?

potentially more championship games this season?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

I don’t know what rights expire but the joint venture has been the legal entity running BT Sports for months now. It’s essentially a rebranding exercise alongside changing how it’s retailed.

Longer term they might make strategically different decisions around rights acquisition but it won’t be an overnight change.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 

Mini guide has changed okay but EPG still showing BT sport on the 360.
