Re: Sky Anytime
 

If you have a tivo then this is a known bug. Use the skip forward button to go straight to the bottom program, then navigate upwards-not ideal but works for now.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I have 164 movies so far

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I was watching Bulletproof via SKY Movies Anytime earlier and about half way through the movie stopped. An info box popped up advising there was a problem with on demand in my area. I had to stop the movie. This is the first time I've ever had this problem. Anyone else had this?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

muppetman Is Avatar in HD on Sky Anytime on Sky ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I have not seen any HD movies? How can I tell if they are going to be HD, is it the same as movies on demand with HD in front of it?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes. We will get the same HD movies that Sky has and when there's more added to Sky Virgin media will also get them.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes it is.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

There is no HD content on the platform, but it is coming very soon along with sports.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I like your coming very soon, its always within 7 days:D

Regards

John.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Next Week ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Anytime soon boom boom..........................................I'll get me coat :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Great news :):)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Even more good news to my ears.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Movies aren't going to be in HD are they essjay? Pretty sure the press release states movies in SD only.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What was the error code?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

lol down boy lol

Re: Sky Anytime
 

The press release states movies are also in HD.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Pretty sure HD is tv content only not movies, course I may be wrong.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

The problem is that there are two press releases and one says that there'll be some HD movies and the other says that the movies will be SD only.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

it seems it confusement time again.:confused:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

There was only one press release.

It was another mistake on their website. It doesn't ever mention Sky Sports which Essjay has also said is coming very soon
http://www.virginmedia.com/tvradio/f...n-media-tv.php

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Confirmed by Essjay that movies will be HD, process not started as yet. Thanks Essjay for clarifying that, well done to you all, great job.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I think that drink the other day has mellowed you:) Or is it your Missus:D:D:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Excellent news!

Re: Sky Anytime
 

:D not at all Diablo, first part of this year Virgin seemed completely inactive as far as TV improvement goes (TiVo will be great but too many things missing and glitches for me yet), however past few months have been very impressive. Have been considering going back to Sky for quite a few months but the hassle of changing everything again was holding me back. Now I'm happy to stay with Virgin;). If they go back into sluggish mode I'll start the moanathon again:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Well no fooking point me looking for the past 5 days then was there??? Typical Virgin with mis or no information, wake me up when SD ends.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Take it you will have to be already paying for movies hd to get the movies on anytime in hd

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I would think so.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I now have 176 movies

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Whoa another 324 movie's to go (roughly):erm:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Will there be 2 seperate SKY Movies on demand folders I wonder? 1 for SD Movies and one for HD Movies.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

They need to have them like filmflex is, so you can view by A-Z, HD, genre, what's new

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Can we get Sky Box Office HD now? Pretty please.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Wow.

---------- Post added at 06:19 ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 ----------

l see maths is one of your strong points Devil.:)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Virgin will never get Sky Box Office - that's what Filmflex is there for

If you mean Sky Anytime Movies HD, they will come but not yet

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I think he means PPV's in HD

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Filmflex already has HD PPV

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Boxing, Wrestling???

Re: Sky Anytime
 

We already have Filmflex SD & HD so why would we get Sky Boxoffice?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Maybe for live PPV sporting events like someone has already said.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

But with less and less sporting events being put on PPV because of the current economic climate l don't think we need it.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I dont think people like Amir Kahn or the WWE will not stop doing PPV, they MAY reduce price but I cant see them going all the way.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

SKY have dropped PPV boxing. That's why Frank Warren has set up Box Nation. The only PPV events that will be shown in HD will be WWE. Don't SKY only show about 6 or 7 WWE events on SKY Box Office per year? I don't think it'll be worth Virgin trying to get SKY Box Office HD for the sake of 6 or 7 events in the year.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

l agree.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

But it would be nice to have the option of watching WrestleMania in HD. What about over promoters?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

would be well gd. If we could watch WrestleMania in HD.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Now another 312 movies to go

Re: Sky Anytime
 

You sure you have counted right because if you don't l will give you detention tonight.:)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

26 pages of movies today was 24 yesterday

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Mines bigger than yours, So there:D:D:D:D

Sounds like kids in the school and Den is the teacher:D:D:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Well my pupil what teachings would you like to do today.:D:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I have a full 27 pages on my box and 4 films in the 28th page

Re: Sky Anytime
 

yes its showin here 28 pages now been updated one hour ago

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Re: Sky Anytime
 

We will be allowed to post when HD movies appear very soon ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Do we get Sky on catchup or just archive content? I'm confused by nothing from Sky appearing under catchup by channel.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

We will get catch up content on TV choice for some reason.
http://www.virginmedia.com/tvradio/f...n-media-tv.php

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It's not officially a catchup service. It's a curated catalogue of Sky content that just happens to include recent programming.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Thanks for telling me that. I was getting confused.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

i'm still waiting for Terra Nova to appear on sky any time

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It will arrive its available on Sky in both SD and HD.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

So far, I have not seen any content other than Sky's own programming. There are no US dramas such as Chase, Terra Nova, House etc.

It seems as though the Sky 1 folder is going to be a lot like Sky Living which has not had any US content added to it such as Bones and Criminal Minds etc yet we've had that folder for months.

I was really looking forward to Sky Anytime on VM but not looking that great if you don't have the Movie subscriptions :-(

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Be patient It will all come by the end of october.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I guess after hearing about it in August, I get a little impatient. I really hope you're right because it would be brilliant to have all that content OD with Virgin after never having SKY broadband when I was with Sky thus missing out on Anytime +.

Many thanks.

:)

Go to this

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I'm sure the US content will arrive , it depends on the deals Sky signs with the US networks however I would imagine their new content acquisitions would mostly include On Demand rights as Glee , Terra Nova , Ringer , Modern Family etc are available.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes it would be nice to see some of the US content.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Seem to be concentrating mainly on movies at present

Re: Sky Anytime
 

it seems that way.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I know the posts suggest the us content is coming, I just can't understand why they prioritise stupid karaoke programs and Terry Pratchett adaptations over decent content unless the good stuff isn't coming after all.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It's coming.
and there is picture of Ringer on the page
http://www.virginmedia.com/tvradio/f...n-media-tv.php

Re: Sky Anytime
 

The sooner the better.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sky Sports on demand is now mentioned on the the virgin media website
http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-...on-demand.html

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Looking forward to this as well.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Since the Sky Movies folder has been added to Movies on Demand my TiVo box keeps freezing when I try and scroll through the offerings there and I need to do a hard reset - switching it off and on again from the back of the box - before I can view TV as normal using the TiVo remote. This happened twice yesterday. If there's going to be the claimed 500 films available there then it's an absolute must that they be organised into categories to prevent the box choking. The sooner the better.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes it takes a long time to scroll through the list and thats just with 160 films.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Exactly the same problem with Tivo
Scrolls down to Peter Pan, which I make number 160 in the list and then
you get the message:

"No Programmes Currently Available"

Re: Sky Anytime
 

i get that i no y now there virgin are still putting moves on sky anttime it all done after 6 pm with the new moves there put no so you be aball to go down the list and see all the new films there put on today

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sky News now on Sky Anytime.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Oh good, Are they showing repeats of Dale Farm and the Michael Jackson trial:erm:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

so that leave sky sport to come to anytime

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Essjay has said it's coming very soon.
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35316814-post508.html

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Hi guys,

I've been looking at the offerings on Sky Anytime for TV XL (no movies or sport) and when I look by channel and go into any of the options (Sky 1, Sky LIVING, etc) it brings up the first page of programmes within that channel listing but if I press the page down button to scroll down the list, it just freezes for a minute or two and then says "no programmes available". I've also tried just going down the list using the arrow down button and the same thing happens.

I've just rebooted my TiVo and it's still the same.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this? It only appears to be the Sky Anytime content as I can scroll freely through all other non-Sky on demand content.

Superblade

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Oh no.:(

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It's not just you. I have this problem as well. Haven't found a fix yet. Spoken to VM who say they are aware and should be sorted soon.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It's been fixed in Blackburn and It looks the Sky Anytime fix is still to be rollled out to all areas.
http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...6&postcount=35

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Cheers guys, glad it's not just me. I hope the fix is done shortly so we can all watch the content.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

i also hope they put mj trial on.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

The scrolling seems to work OK on my second box - V+HD
so is it just the Tivo that's struggling ??

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes mines fine on the VHD box but struggles when l am on the Tivo.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It's been confirmed by VM that it's a bug and it fixed in the update.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I have posted elsewhere that a known work around is to use the skip forward button (right arrow into a line above blue and next to slow) to go to the bottom of the menu and then scroll up.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I say confirmed but can't find the link now, maybe my brain has gone a bit mushy from reading the VM community forum too much!! :drool:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Doesn't work for me sadly

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Just out of interest, does anyone know if the sky anytime content will be added to the virgin player online?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yes
http://help.virginmedia.com/system/v...0-1679C6EDB52B

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Thanks, that's good to know. Just another added bonus :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Unless I`m missing something I can`t see where it says how many pages of films there are on the Tivo box but I can on theV+ box upstairs.
Sat with Mrs blackthorn last night and decided to have a look at the films. She made me give up after 20 minutes and watch live tv as it was taking too long to scroll through the films. It was taking nearly 1 minute to get from the bottom of the list to the next page.
Are there any lists of the films anywhere that I can print off and then use the search, maybe that would be quicker.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

A lot of people are asking if the films will be categorised, but if you have tivo, and as per Ben's post, the content shows up in search and browse, then it's done for you in browse> films> categories albeit this will show you content from other on demand sources as well. I almost never go in to the on demand menus any more.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

You're not alone in this. Scrolling is about as fast as continental drift. On the occasions my TiVo hasn't frozen solid and needed a hard reboot I've given up trying to find a film and gone back to watching live TV. It's got to be because of the large number of films in the list. Hopefully the upcoming software update will help as will categorizing the films once they're all uploaded and available (hopefully very soon).
