Arthur doesn't seem to appreciate the impact his ideas would have on costs and pricing. And if prices go up in his household, we never hear the end of it!

Good find, thank you!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

All I need is a 4k tv and an upgrade of my Sky Q box

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

The SkyQ box has never had live or even streaming material on BBC iPlayer.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Ok my mistake!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Broadcastnow is reporting that Virgin media UK are looking into having an EPG relaunch with one idea being having all the +1 (like ITV +1 and Quest +1) having their own dedicated section. (cant post link do to broadcastnow paywall)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I'm not sure if it needs a relaunch or their own section. To me it makes more sense to put the +1 after the main channel.

on the EPG I'd have:
HD Variant first (if available)
SD Variant
+1 Variant

Having the HD or +1 variants of the channels spread around the EPG is kinda strange lol

Obviously there is more than common sense in play and that's why the EPG is the way it is at the moment.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Really? That does surprise me. I'd heard from certain Sky viewers that the Sky Q system was better than the V6. I didn't think that sounded right at the time! :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

This pains me to say, but I think the Sky Q UI is much better than the V6 at the moment. The fluid transitions between sections is really good.

The overall look and feel of it, is so much more modern too :mad::mad: lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I agree with that, the UI is much more modern in look and feel on the Sky Q. Virgin's badly needs updating now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

I got a few 4K tvs about 4 years ago now (well 2 of them like 3 years ago, hubby got one) and the idea was that Sky would add in a 4K box but Q sounds like a disaster and the few updates that they have done on the old HD boxes suck...(there is now such a slow clunky interface, search has issues etc).

The amount of 4K content is abysmal, too. UK TV (not that specific set of networks but in general) really is in a bad place these days and patience is going to have to be the key right now. The wait may be long though - for now the likes of streaming services seem to be the only way to go.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

Well we are pretty happy with it but its all in the eye of the beholder as they say..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
 

And yet for whatever reason Sky were the ones who copied Virgin with the ridiculous idea that the box remains the hardware of the provider even though you are the one who pays for the install.

Yep - any content from CatchUp or OnDemand (including BBC iPlayer) has to be downloaded to view.

Youtube streams so it can be done.
