Forum members like Digital Fantastic and Media Boy are always very helpful.
I think we all get the point now as it's been well laboured.

Does anyone know of anything new?

If it's of any interest the 14 sports interactive streams don't appear to be broadcasting anything now, unless they have changed the parameters since I tuned them in on my TV that has a cable tuner built in.

They just seem like placeholders now.

My point is DF that you dont know the ins and outs of the contract so as a VM employee shouldnt be speculating on here , just look at the trouble some of your other speculations on here have caused.

I also have opinions, just like anyone else.

Ok, no probs. I don't want to argue on here, it's also unpleasant for others to read. :)

Company founded by Universal Music and Sony Music is in talks with Channel 4, Virgin Media and ITV over potential partnerships.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...uk?INTCMP=SRCH

If Virgin did become partners, I wonder if we'd get an extensive amount of music on demand via Virgin Media Player? Better still, a Tivo app for all you Tivo lovers!

http://www.electric-sofa.com/

Electric Sofa Media are launching three brand new televisions channels in 2011, on a number of broadcast platforms, free to air, in the UK and Ireland.

Film GB - the first ever movie channel devoted to British cinema

Sofa Screen - a new movie channel showing Hollywood Classics and new titles

Sofa Stars - the new home of the best entertainment

Okay so I joined their forum to try and learn a bit more. This new company are currently going through the Due Diligence procedure and should be launching in the summer. They have confirmed in their forum that the channels will be encrypted and will not be launching on Freeview. When asked if they will be on Freesat, SKY or Virgin they simply answer:

"Sorry we're unable to confirm, for contractual reasons, which platforms the channels will be on."

It is clear from other posts that whilst they are still months away from launch, TV deals are in place. Hopefully Virgin can get a deal in place if they haven't already signed up. Film GB would be awesome.

If Virgin can get this an an exclusive, SKY will be sick. Just what the Doctor ordered.
