Just had a memo this is not Sky Atlantic coming to VM BTW so don't get excited. Anyway the memo is "coming soon watch all your favourite HBO content on demand on Virgin Media and other providers."
To me this is just adding more fuel to the Nowtv app that is rumoured to be coming to VM this year.

VUTV is now fully up and running. http://www.vutv.com/how-vutv-works/ a good idea imo for those who don't want Sky or vm etc but would like a few extra channels.

What is your problem? If you read my last post, you will see that I said:

As far as Sky Atlantic is concerned, of course there is some uncertainty about this, because we are not privy to these delicate negotiations and we are reliant on what comes out of the media.

Of course Sky Atlantic is exclusive at the moment. Nobody's arguing with you. However, you seem to want to argue for the sake of it.

I get it, we all get it, you don't believe SA is coming. You are entitled to your opinion as am I.

Now stop trolling and post something useful for once.

Maybe allowing VM customers to purchase access to Sky Atlantic via an app is a way that both companies can save face and meet each other half way.

Erm, anyone with Sky can watch Netflix content in a variety of different ways. Not sure how it is an advantage for VM.

I (and the others you've succeeded in winding up again this morning) have laid out our problem quite clearly. Post appropriately, and nobody will be on your back. But don't keep repeating the same old mistakes and expect not to get the same old responses. Unless of course, you're seeking those responses...

I hadn't considered that VM would also be a competitor on BT's network - would they though? I know they provide ADSL on BT's copper network. As mentioned before by others, it does come across as double-standards that VM don't open up their network for fair competition. Perhaps the national fibre roll-out is the reason they won't be forced to.

Can't see why not, the boxes are owned by the customers so like Sky but unlike Virgin. They will work as a retail box outside TalkTalk and BT broadband connections. When connected to TalkTalk and BT, they will offer the other services that these two companies offer eg extra online channels and box sets. Otherwise they're still great PVRs with access to on-demand services from all the PSBs plus UKTV, SkyStore and Now TV Films.

Difficult to call. I would think they've been issued under a 12 month contract agreement so technically they could still be recalled by TT. But as long as the seller continues to pay TT, how will they know. As TT just give them out whether you want one or not, this was bound to happen. If you bought one, you'd have bought it legally. I've never kept a mobile phone for longer than about 6 months, I've always sold them to get the latest and greatest. But as long as I pay my contract, nobody cares.

As for working, yes they do. They're a very cheap way of buying a Freeview HD PVR with catchup. You can get Netflix and Now TV on them too (not sure about Lovefilm or Blinkbox).

That's what I believe to be true. If you're thinking about buying, I'd pop into somewhere like the DS YouView forum first to check. Enjoy. :)

Thanks for the info guys.

I'm not particularly looking for one, but the post about the cheap prices sparked my interest and thought it would be good to know the score in case I do decide to take a punt on a cheap one in the future.

BTW, are you sure you can get Netflix on the Youview boxes?

Can't see where justabloke was being a troll. His response seemed pretty reasonable to me

Very interesting. Let the theories begin ;) I suppose a Now TV app on VM that only has Atlantic on, at a cost below the normal Now TV Entertainment price, could be a possibility? (We don't need the rest of the Entertainment pack channels on VM as we already have them). BTW, I read somewhere that the Entertainment pack on Now TV will go up to £8.99 at some stage. The £4.99 is classed as an introductory price.

seems to have gone quiet on any new channels coming.

I thought the 'missing' channels on LG's UPC Ireland were supposed to be coming- that was months ago- any update of when this might actually happen?

as LG have now also taken over Smallworld are there any other channels we could expect to come to VM soon?
