BBC3 HD (163) now been removed, BBC3 SD (106) now links to BBC3 online for TiVo customers only.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Why do they moved BBC 4HD to 163 to remove the gap

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Cant see BBC4 HD moving unless/until BBC4 SD moves. I think VM are waiting to see where the slots go on the other platforms before they start shunting.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

There were plans for a BBC1+1 service but because of the ongoing budget cuts at the BBC it has been put on the backburner for now from what l hear.

We was told weeks ago that the new TiVo box is testing.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Sky Sports and Movies HD should no longer be available on the SA 8300 V+ HD boxes from today.

Lets hope the wait is worth it.:)

Wow that would be a real head turner they have hardly any original content. Personally I'd be amazed if they wasted there time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I find Virgin's scrambles for budget content quite pathetic. They're never going to compete on that front and they'd be better off spending our hard-earned dosh on Sky Atlantic or AMC or Amazon Prime, rather than pi**ing around in the bargain basement at the local Spar looking for series no-one else wanted.

An new app is coming - we know it name but we can't reveal it right now. Info was given to us early this month.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

At the same time it would be typical of VM to go for minimun content options.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Lets hope that it is something significant for once...

I've just been having a more detailed look at pricing of VM's XL , Sky Family pack and Sky Q Silver.

They priced as follows

VM XL TV (when took alone) £39.50
Sky Family bundle £36 rising to £38 from June
Sky Q Silver £54 rising to £56

The main selling points appear to be

VM XL TV - BT Sport channels included , HD included and TIVO

Sky Family Bundle - Sky Atlantic (with exclusive HBO and Showtime content) , HD included , Decent range of Boxsets.

Sky Q Silver - 1 multiroom box included with the ability to use two tablets also , UHD entertainment content soon , record 4 whilst watching a 5th , 2TB storage , certain recordings available to take on the move , Sky Go Extra included , free repairs.

Being I already have Multiroom I could be talking myself into Sky Q although the Sky premium channels are looking way to expensive. Sky Family bundle and multiroom would cost me £50 from June. The big gripe I have is the upfront costs.
