Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Sky Sources told us yesterday that Nollywood is set to become an free-to-air on Sky from April 1st.

Story has been confirmed by Sky Forum (See 2nd post).

We have not seen any info about what will happen on Virgin Media.

Nollywood is in M+

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

It not.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Oops, you're right it is not.

I know that some of the Asian channels were in M+, I thought that Nollywood was one of them.

Adding the services to satellite is a pretty simple excercise. Most of VM's HD output is line fed to VM's master headend by the broadcasters in an uncompressed format. So I assume Arqiva will have to provide this to VM & the DTT network in due course.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

The channel guide (last updated Feb 2016) says that Nollywood is a premium channel, it doesn't say how much it is though.

I've known channels to be FTA on satellite, but in a pay package on VM eg Horror channel used to be in XL, but is FTA on satellite.

However, i've never known a premium channel go FTA on satellite and it remain premium on VM.

I don't think Nollywood is on Freeview*, so I doubt it'll go into M, possibly More TV , more likely M+.

*M package channels tend to mirror Freeview on VM, but if the channels that are FTA on satellite were to be included too, I think that this would be a really good selling point to get TiVo into more homes.

Coming soon to Virgin Media in about 5 years time?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I would tend to agree that getting the line feeds in place is the most likely cause for any delay. I have already stated that the services will arrive on VM at some point. At the moment, ITV aren't being very forthcoming about the time scale involved. MB suggested that ITV had confirmed that these regional variations would be launching soon on VM. I was simply pointing out that ITV Viewer Services are actually telling VM viewers to use SD in these regions, without giving an indication of when (or even if) they are likely to arrive on the platform.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Doh! Again. It's not a channel I watch to be fair.

What hifi has dropped the article.... Does it mean it was the article false or was it premonition of 4K flopping? :dozey:
