Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Strange - most reasonable TVs upscale SD.

It's not quite as good as HD, but not crap (imho).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

True, my TV (Sharp Aquos) does a great job of upscaling but I find Universal (& +1) very blocky and smeary in dark scenes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I agree, although I personally wouldn't say "need" currently watching Newcastle Sunderland in sd because I won't pay the premium fee, and it's perfectly good enough for me, but I did choose to watch the BBC's coverage of the Grand Prix this morning solely because it was in hd.

If and when the channels listed are added then I don't care about the "are we paying for it" argument, the hd line up on Virgin will be absolutely superb.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Plus I tend to record lots of shows (as they are on same time as football, or my bedtime)

So record the standard version, never overly concerned about HD version (oft using plus 1s).

that said...maybe it is because you need HD for sport to distract you from the game (marvel at the image), whilst the shows have a story I focus on

---------- Post added at 13:32 ---------- Previous post was at 13:31 ----------

Yes, i used the royal "need". One doesn't actually "need" Hd for sport, but one does like it :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The only thing I could do without is the Ex-Sunderland player, manager, chairman/owner and latterly director being the co-commentator!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

It is a bit bias to say the least:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Not the first to be like that l am afraid.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Nor the last

Glasses free 3DS tvs are on the market right now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

And they cost 10 times the price of one with glasses.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, but not same quality

I was reading that technology being developed will make all 3D tvs glasses free

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Watching the FA Cup game on ITV AD just now and the picture is poor IMO. It's not being shown in the STV region or would have it on STV HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I am watching in HD, through other channels, manually added

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, but you're on Sky, Colin. You can't manually add channels on cable.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Oh sorry, wasn't paying attention

Yes, i remember when I had virgin..it annoyed me that it kept forcing STV onto me...no one but STV think stv is good :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The problem is more the low bitrates than the actual resolution.

Doesn't help too with channels like Viva where they take old 4:3 NTSC programmes, convert them into PAL, blow up the picture to somewhere in the middle of 4:3 and 16:11 (losing the top and bottom) and then bung them out on a really low bitrate channel. Impossible to watch on a big screen telly with the bad colour, blurred picture and terrible pixellation.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Spot on, it's not every channel but some are definitely worse than others. ITV SD channels seem particularly bad, thankfully we now have the HD versions of 2/3/4.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, that will be the low bit-rate on the channels.

You'll notice more in dark scenes, scenes with a lot of one colour and fast moving scenes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Thats right; Universal and the +1 are the only channels I watch where it is noticable (it's also bad on the 5USA/5* channels as well but I don't watch anything on them presently)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ditto

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Virgin Media takeover by Liberty Global approved in EU

The European Commission (EC) has confirmed that its antitrust authority found no competition concerns with the transaction.

The authority noted that the companies' cable networks operate in different countries, noting that the national licensing of TV content for different areas meant that the deal would not restrict competition.

Where Can I find an up-to-date list of channels on Virgin TV - on the web?

I am working on my blog.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Well, that's nice of them. Maybe now they can turn their attention to Sky...

An Virgin Viewer has pass on the following to me from an Virgin Worker:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Can they not also pass you an up to date channel list?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I know it probably wont be useful to most but the other week my nan asked me to make her a channel list as she was getting confused all the time, so this might help. It doesnt have a lot of channels, just the main channels (as it was kind of only designed for her) and it lists the HD channels only (except for BBC One and where there is no HD counterpart) but may aswell share it, some may find it useful.

My thoughts exactly LOL

See it's broadcasting now on VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Hmm...it might be worth going back to Virgin for :D

Discovery channels added to TV Anywhere http://anywhere.virginmedia.com/live/channels/ - these are not on Sky Go

Also now have Channel 4, More4, SyFy, Universal, Cartoonito

All these will also be via the App too

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Since the takeover of VM is now approved to go ahead, management must be giving pep talks to the VM staff about the potential future direction of the company or will do soon. Products (channels) which may be offered in the future, perhaps even owning channels once again or producing original content? The combined companies are certainly big enough to take this direction if they wish?

Sky I believe have to produce a certain number of hours of original content to satisfy the authorities, perhaps this may applied to the new VM company. It must be hitting the critical mass to perhaps have the same rules applied or is this only relent to channel owners?

Has anyone heard anything, Mediaboy perhaps?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Awesome news! Please post which channels the latest and greatest will be! I want to be amongst the first people to know!:D:D

Excellent news Ben and that should keep them quiet for a while.:)

Shame ESPN America isn't available on TV Anywhere, although if it were I'd probably never get any work done. :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

TiVo boxes confirmed changes to some Discovery channels on April 30th.

-TLC is NOT an new channel.
-TLC HD will launch on April 30th on Virgin Media.
-ID +1 and Animal Planet HD may also launch on April 30th on Virgin Media.

-Discovery Travel and Living to close on Virgin Channel 273.
-Both Discovery Real Time and Discovery Real Time +1 will be rebrand as TLC and TLC +1 and will move to Virgin Channels 167 and TBC.

Oh, goody - now I can watch the channel on Freeview AND Virgin Media. So excited :rolleyes:

That could be too much excitement in one go - take care ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Glad that one's sewn up

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Not heard anything.

No word from insiders since last week.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Think this only relates to the basic PSB channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Sky Go PC & Xbox 48 channels
Sky Go iOS 39

Virgin TVA PC 66
Virgin TVA iOS 40

And the new payTV streaming service champion...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

There's channels and then there's content on those channels.

I think if you asked most people would say they would lose all these nothing channels to have movies and sports on the iPad. Only channel I have ever watched on my iPad is ESPN.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Hopefully we will get TVA & MRS rights for Sky channels when they renew the Sky premium HD deal, then we'll have another 21 channels on mobile.

Plus once the Liberty deal goes through the CBS channels & Horror shouldn't be too far behind.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

And what will the doomsayers and critics make of that.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

yes VM stream content king :D:D:D:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I personally like the TVA app reviews where supposedly on Sky Go you can watch every channel you can on your TV, so they're all leaving Virgin.

Albeit they were last week as the update has since ballsed everything up...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Sky Go is really poor in the Documentary genre , there's been many complaints on the Sky help forum regarding this in fact they only added a Documentary genre when they added C&I recently , I suppose Nat Geo/Wild and History are distinct possibilities on tablet/smartphone considering BSKYB has a part share in them , being honest I don't use Sky Go that much but generally when I do it's been when I'm away and I tend to mostly watch Sport live or shows/movies On Demand via my ipad , the new download facility is also useful if there's no Internet were your travelling.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Getting there, do we know if there are any additions to the MRS facility with these new channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Although not directly connected to TV Anywhere, and I only know about this because of the website, it looks like Virgin Movies rentals will be offering mobile device options this year

A total waste of time in my opinion as even one man and his dog would not subscribe to that rubbish.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Hm, thanks for links, etc. Looked at the films and most of them I wouldn't watch 10 seconds of. Don't think I will waste £2.50 a month. Not until a decent movie I fancy comes on.

second episode not much better vapour rub eats tyres.

---------- Post added at 19:08 ---------- Previous post was at 19:02 ----------

to be fair for some newish films not bad deal.

Would agree older films it dont represent value you better off getting DVD/bluray watching heart consent.

I used it on freebie watch films not watched even went out bought one due enjoyment.

However what put me off from signing up was its system is poor.

It was unable to cope with demand on the freebie month resently. God knows what those who subscribed went through unless they was on seperate server.

Ended up watching films after midnight as it kept freezing.

Likely due to those films was most popular mind but hardly was helping encouraging people to sign up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

So it looks like:
167 - TLC
168 TLC HD
169 - TLC +1

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

...so where does S4C go to?

Drop down to 166, or up into the 800's with the other foreign channels?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Foreign ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Novelty channels? :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Sorry there is no section in the epg for taxpayer funded channels that sometimes have Nobody watching!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I have been thinking over the past month:

From April 30th:

166. S4C*
167. TLC
168. TLC HD*
169. TLC +1*

We may also get:

215. ID+1*
217. Animal Planet HD

*Channels numbers to be confirmed.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

What about the much wanted Universal HD my good friend.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Bear with me:

160. SyFy HD
161. Universal HD
162. E! (Moving from Channel 156)
163. E! HD
164. BBC Two HD
165. BBC Alba
182. Sky Livingit +1
