Small steps I guess. Still nowhere near the number of exclusive shows that Amazon, and to a lesser extent, Netflix are adding (I'm not referring to Amazon/Netflix's' home grown content).

They will have to do much better than that to restore the confidence of their subscribers. Much better.

UKTV and Virgin Media sign landmark deal

Quote:

Virgin Media and UKTV, the broadcaster behind the Dave, W, Gold and Alibi channels, have signed a “landmark deal” which will give the cable firm’s customers access to more than 10,000 hours of catch-up content and TV box-sets.
Quote:

Virgin Media customers will be able to enjoy UKTV’s enhanced content offering, from later in 2016.

At last, a sign that we are back on the right road. Let's hope they keep it up, particularly with the originals.

Is this what we really want? Not for me i'm afraid, just another load of old tosh imo.

Sherlock tosh? I don't think so. This is a nice addition.

Will the content only be available via the app with all the problems that presents and also exclude non tivo customers ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 
If it's an app in the same way that iPlayer and Netflix are, then it'll be TiVo only.

Which is not surprising considering TiVo is Virgin Media's main TV platform and is required for all currently sold TV bundles. The V boxes are legacy boxes.

But there aren't any specific details one way or the other in that web article.
