VM at the moment it seems clearly couldn't care less about their tv side of things and i think it will get worse before getting better.

exactly right mate

they cant even be arsed about getting freeview channels on the network. i cannot understand virgin medias lack of interest in the tv side of their product

"Lol we have fast internet"

isnt going to work for most people.

On the information we have seen it say Virgin Media UK is set to launch the new TiVo box by "next years Olympics".

Info first appear at Media Boy HQ last Summer.

They have, more price rises.

We want Virgin Media to reveal it.

We will reveal if our Virgin Sources say we can do so.

At the end of the day I might stop customers defecting with nothing set in stone or anything, I'm not defecting but customers need a hint or top or something

One can only hope PB and doing that so far has not yielded much benefit has it.

So we should have it by August this year, then! Excellent, I am already running my recordings down so I can get the new box in September, so this fits nicely for me.

Thought a streaming box would be enough for you ;)

Viacom are having a big overhaul of their channels, especially Comedy Central and MTV which have been performing badly of late: http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/2016...al-1201740247/

(The company has been somewhat distracted by owner Sumner Redstone's slow departure and fights among his heirs: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/...tle-final-days)

Thanks I will check it out before I cancel Prime. Ive not been too impressed with their offering so far.

I'm going to check out an app on my Nvidea Shield tomorrow called 'Ultra Flix'. All Ultra HD/4K movies on there apparantly.

Amazon prime is fairly lacklustre. Which is a shame as the few things they've got they've just nicked from Netflix so double the price for the same content. Just like football....

At the moment I'd say I've been watching more off Prime than Netflix.
