To be fair most of the rumours have not been from vm but from other sources that's the problem,most of the channels are what vm want but it down to costs and to avoiding then costing us more.both old and new owners are trying to avoid paying over the odds for channels once they start doing that then it's expected every time, :(
If they just agreed to prices and got channels peeps would moan about prices going up every time,but delay and finally get at a price to avoid this they will be heroes.me thinks next week they will be heroes until another channel comes along we all want.
What we need to see us a big improvement in communication and hopefully with new owners we will see that eventually ;)

I just had a chat with a woman in the disconnection dept as I was disconnecting my services , now this didnt come from me (wink wink ) but she stated that on tuesday just gone they tested all 4 of the bt sports channels sd &hd on the virgin platform so they knew that they would work and they dis and are hoping to switch on by next sat ( just repeating what I heard so dont hold me to.it )

This was kind of implied to me when I was contacted by the ceo's office but I promised not to shout about it,now others are saying it I feel I can.
This along with a excellent discount was the reason I stayed also expect to see the hd channels that are missing that are shown in Ireland soon and dare I say it.?????
Sky Atlantic in autum,none of this is guaranteed but it was certainly implied that all of these things could expected to happen.
AGAIN NOT CONFIRMED but hopefully the great MB will confirm in future posts

I wish you had shared this with us at the time, either directly or indirectly.

A shopping channel called Buy What You Don't Need, and the +1 version.

The other 2 channels are probably shopping knowing our luck. Actually, its Virgin so the other 2 channels testing don't even exist.

SKY Atlantic was up and running for 2 years before I joined SKY. So many of the shows exclusive to the channel where already into their 3rd and 4th season.

The repeats have helped me catch up with some great shows from the very start. If and when the channel launches on Virgin Media, those new to the channel will find the repeats incredibly useful.

If it wasn't for the repeats I'd have never gotten into shows like The Borgias, Boardwalk Empire and Blue Bloods.

Admittedly the channel isn't terribly awash with brand new episodes of shows each and every night, but I do take in about 3 or 4 hours worth of shows from the channel each week. It doesn't sound like much but I only watch TV a few hours per day.

Not really news, I suppose, but was on the phone to VM to downgrade services and was told that due to ESPN going, they are hoping to get BT Sports onto TV XL, but don't know what's happening. No intention to stop me changing, just an off the cuff remark.

I did say "much like 95% of Sky Atlantic". I don't recall saying they did not show original content.:rolleyes: Other shows on SA have been cancelled too. I may very well be far, far out on my 95%, but I do not think all of the new content television shows will count for a large percentage of their program base. I am happy to be corrected on my percentage though:)

Chad, (sorry, not fully sure how to add another quote in) I did not mean to include the repeats of G.O.T etc in my 95%. I agree fully that these repeats will be useful to new subscribers and eventually/possibly VM subscribers (dependent upon your outlook.) However, many Sky viewers will see these shows as reruns now (and in their eyes, it may push the percentage higher than 95%), and when new Sky and VM subscribers have caught up with these shows, they will become part of the many reruns shown on Sky Atlantic.:(

Jameseh 11-08-2013 03:24

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 
Right so if this channel with loads of first run shows is a pile of repeats to you, then what payTV do you watch? Alibi and Comedy Central must be lucky to have 3 hours a week of new programming.

Indeed, I don't see how that comment doesn't apply to the vast majority of pay tv channels. Only the mainstream terrestrial channels (big 5 + E4) ever seem to have anything vaguely new on it. Atlantic is much better than its peers in a fair comparison.

Sounds like sour grapes (yet again) from some. Much like the laughable "WELL I NEVER WANTED BT SPORTS ANYWAY" comments, makes the posters look like petulant children.

Well I never wanted BT Sport anyway. I didn't, and I still don't. The only reason I'd want it is if too many people jumped ship meaning prices going up.

Whilst you're right, there are also those of us that genuinely don't want Bt Sport. I'll miss ESPN, but they really aren't the same product.

I think a lot of the american products are gone (is that what you mean?).

But can't say, those tend to be the sports i don't watch

Partly - mlb was a big draw for me. But also I really preferred the Saturday 1730 kick offs because I could get back from the match in time to watch it, or fit it in before going on to nights. Albeit Palace have got a season of being moved around ahead of them now, the lunch time kick offs don't work for me as I'm either in bed or travelling to footy - and actually I don't particularly enjoy watching them either. So, even where it's showing the same sport as ESPN used to it's not as good for me.

I don't particularly want it either. Better the ESPN money were put into improving the XL package in other ways.

However those who do, should at least be given the choice.

We obviously don't know what the sticking points in the talks are, but if Virgin are holding out for including in the XL package for a fixed price, then I don't think this is in customers' interests if it ends up denying it altogether.

It would surely be quite straightforward for VM to market BT Sport in effectively the same way as Sky Sports, as a stand alone package and taking a small handling fee for collecting subs and carrying the transmission. VM have admitted they make little or nothing from carrying Sky Sports, they do so as a service to customers and because it boosts the overall attractiveness of the service.

Why would you say that?

If the choice were that or not getting it all, what would you prefer? As a customer you at least then have free choice between all three platforms, and can do the sums according to what meets your needs.

Not having any particular interest in PL football, I don't see subsidising this out of XL subs beyond the level of ESPN as being any sort of priority when there are still other things missing from the package. If BT started showing other sports we were interested in, maybe we might choose to pay.

It is important for the VM platform that customers have as full as possible a choice of content - that doesn't mean everybody has to subsidise providing premium content 'free', however slick a marketing ploy this might seem to be.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 
Sorry, was not meaning to be antagonistic, just trying to a) inject some humour (poor judgement) and then b) just trying to answer another post. I know many people do want Sky Atlantic. I personally do not think it is worth all the hype. Yes they many new shows, but it does not mean all of them are good. A lot of my friends do not watch many of them now.
Yes, all channels show copious repeats with which I have no problem, I just think for all the hype the channel channel gets, it should have less repeats and more original content than it does. These are just my views on the channel.
Jameseh, Comedy Central and Alibi, are specialist channels aimed at people who like crime shows or non-stop comedy, as you will be aware. They do show new content on a regular basis too, probably not as many hours as Sky Atlantic granted, but these are specialist channels and will only show a certain type of show.
I have said many times before that I do not care for Sky Atlantic and would prefer any money spent to go elsewhere (a few HD variants would please me more.) I will happy for those that want it, if VM ever get it though.
I am sorry if these views have offended or continue to offend anyone.
Mod's given my stance on Young_Timbo, if people feel I have stepped over the line, please feel free to take retrospective action.

I don't see it happening myself but that's just my opinion , the whole BT Sport deal is BT want people back on their network with phone and BB/fibre that way when there house is in order with their tv product they can begin to upsell products and strengthen their triple play offering.

There TV offering will continue to grow with more Internet TV channels to be added.

I know, but I don't think they are changing the channel name, just returning it to Sky Movies Greats and playing superhero films. The VM website just says "a day of superhero films" and Sky have said nothing

I'd be made up with that! I used to always forget to watch espn in hd so I wouldn't be that bothered by missing out on hd

I think it goes back to greedy BT sports not wanting any provider to offer it free and insisting on making people pay additional for it

In other countries they still try to protect sports rights and tv companies milking it quite as obvious as BT are doing

If they can do this, we don't need to be concerned that only 4 channels appear to be testing at the moment.

If the choice were that or not getting it all, what would you prefer? As a customer you at least then have free choice between all three platforms, and can do the sums according to what meets your needs.

Not having any particular interest in PL football, I don't see subsidising this out of XL subs beyond the level of ESPN as being any sort of priority when there are still other things missing from the package. If BT started showing other sports we were interested in, maybe we might choose to pay.

It is important for the VM platform that customers have as full as possible a choice of content - that doesn't mean everybody has to subsidise providing premium content 'free', however slick a marketing ploy this might seem to be.

Well said.

Which is exactly the same for Atlantic, The 'Specialist' part relates to shows broadcast by the US cable networks, primarily HBO. These are different to the US broadcast network shows in that they are often grittier and don't have to worry about the type of content that wouldn't be allowed on US Network TV. Many are also Highly regarded, award winning shows.

For some unknown reason Sky have also chosen to put some US Network shows on Atlantic, which really belong on Sky One or Living, but that doesn't detract from the original premise of the type of specialised content Atlantic was set up for.

One of the reasons that Atlantic is sought by many on VM is that Atlantic is the only place to get these US cable shows. Netflix and Lovefilm will often get the US network shows eventually, but Atlantic is the only place that I am aware of to get HBO shows. And before anyone says Blinkbox, that is way too expensive in my view.

Plenty of time yet for 'exclusive' Sky Atlantic promotions. It's not coming to VM until the autumn - maybe not until November. You can expect Sky to plug the exclusivity tag relentlessly until then.

hi long time lurker first time poster

I phoned vm yesterday to cut off my services as I had got a great deal for sky inc bt sports , and was told by the woman on the phone , that they did do a 4 channel test on bt sports last Tuesday to make sure it worked and that they would be able to turn it on immediately that they finally do the deal with bt
she also said that she thought it would be in place by the start of th PL on sat

whether or not she is right we will not know till then but if it does come to vm then I will be phoning sky back and cancelling the install:)
