Channel renumbering update.
I can confirmed that I do know what going to happen - I just cant say what going to happen until sometime next week. Until next week I can only reveal what going to happen if it appeared online or in tomorrows Radio Times (Or other TV Listing books). Quote:

Granted, they put Game of Thrones on Sky 1 recently, but there is no guarantee that they plan to do that with any other series of that programme. You may have noticed that the first series of Boardwalk Empire will be on Pick TV, but they are only showing the first three episodes. It's all designed to tempt you into getting Sky satellite so that you can tune into Sky Atlantic! This channel, together with the missing HD channels, are the main things that we want from Virgin Media now, together with quicker development of the various apps on the TIVO box. My antennae tells me that Sky Atlantic will at last come to our screens this year, hopefully before the impending price increase. |

When the regional BBC 1 Wales HD goes to channel 108 on 29th January, will I still get the network BBC1HD that is currently on 108?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
What is anything will change on good old 101, my reading is nothing - am I correct. I take it that 851 is what I think of as BBC England ? will also remain the same. As stated I really prefer to watch "national" shows in an "early" slot than record them at "Midnight" to watch another day.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
I did catch the first series of Game Of Thrones when it was on Sky 1 and must admit I was hooked. I've just bought the secend series from Blinkbox for £11, got a £5 credit for joining up.

The trouble is, Bauer have expressed an interest in purchasing assets previously, such as the Smooth/Real brands from GMG and certain radio stations in the Midlands. As they failed to complete any of these deals, I'd be cautious about assuming this will be any different. I would wait until they actually complete the purchase before speculating on how it may affect channels carried by VM. |

MUTV ownership changes
Manchester United have acquired the one-third minority equity stake in Manchester United Television (MUTV) from BskyB (Sky). MUTV is now a wholly-owned group subsidiary. As part of the club's long-term digital media plans, Manchester United has made the strategic acquisition of Sky’s stake in MUTV in order to own 100 per cent of the content production and distribution capabilities of this business. http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Fe...D-7803F413C732 MUTV is broadcasting on Virgin Channel 528. |

So it is shown as BBC 1 ENG as opposed to BBC 1 ( which in my area is WALES) What "local" news it feeds is of NO interest to me. We switch when wanting to see a non local programme , instead of setting a recording for it in the middle of the night . The EPG calls it BBC 1 England - My paper tv guide calls it BBC 1 ( variations are in small print at the bottom of the page)

Picture Box have never tried this ,so I had a look. Amazed anyone would pay for it! Something for nothing is always most welcome let me say , however from the movies the site says are available in the next 4-5 weeks. It looks like a 99p bin in the local supermarket :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
I tried Picture box when it was very first launched. The titles available were pretty poor and the HD versions were lacking 5.1 sound. For an extra £1 a month you can get Netflix, where nearly all titles are available in HD and a massive amount of those HD titles come with 5.1 audio. And the netflix selection is massive in comparison to Picturebox, both in film and TV titles.

But sadly, Qtx isn't objective in his views. He seems to have a grudge against VM and only seems interested in posting,"My service is bigger and better than yours" type comments, no matter what aspect of the service we are discussing. Clearly, no one service is best at everything. Therefore, in my view, his posts are pretty much irrelevant to the discussion. |

Like Muppetman they have access to both VM and Sky. I personally have VM and my mother has Sky so I can look at things pretty objectively, Muppetmans parents have VM so he is in the same situation.

To be fair, Virgin aren't that far behind SKY when it comes to top quality channels. If Virgin can add some more HD channels plus channels like SONY Movies, The Style Network, Food Network, MGM, MTV Classic, FOX News and Premier Sports it would be tough to choose between the two. I still think Virgin need more 3D content and SKY Atlantic however not everyone will agree. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
Media Boy moves reveal of channels set to move to new time.
I will now reveal the channels that Virgin Media will move on Monday Night just after midnight - and not midday on Tuesday as reported. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
Why the big secret over new channel numbers? Surely Virgin would want customers to know what channels are changing EPG number.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.
I think people should be informed of both good and bad experiences. I've had SKY VM and (now) BT so if people are making a choice I think they should have all the information needed.
If their service is good for them then great but it's good to have a balanced view. I have had problems with ALL of my services on occasion. I'd never have VM tv again as I had 8 boxes from then that didn't work properly but on the other hand I know people who've had problem with their BT boxes.. It's swings and roundabouts. Anyway I just think that a little considered (and that's the key there) opinion is no bad thing. Also there are 'fanboys' on ALL sides not just from the sky / bt camp. |

Sorry Hugh I understand that , & I agree with your comments & I was going to drop it, honest. But what I was trying to find out is why they would choose to spend time on a forum / topic that is designed for users of another service to theirs. I asked because to understand the thought process could perhaps be a useful tool in promoting business on other non( or at least not closely) related sites. At no time have I or would I suggest that they should desist from doing so Once again I am sorry if that was the impression I gave ;) |

Inevitably, there are a few trolls, but don't assume that this is what they are just because they post here and don't subscribe to VM. I think we need to calm down about all this. Whoever the author of a post is, if they are saying something valid, entertaining or worth thinking about, that is what is important. And finding a post on here that tells us more about what is coming soon to VM would be nice as well. We seem to have gone off on a (rather large) tangent. Nothing new there, though...:rolleyes: ---------- Post added at 12:46 ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 ---------- Quote:
Contrary to what you seem to think, VM do have virtually all the quality channels that are available on Sky. I have seen the ones we don't have, and with one or two notable exceptions, we ain't missing much. |

Mods - can we have a clear definition of what is on and off topic for this thread? Yes I realise the irony of this post, but it's getting harder and harder to filter out the crap from the real 'coming soon' stuff |

We don't need a definition - it is perfectly obvious what we should be posting on here. Maybe we should have a completely new thread for all the general comments that are made on 'coming soon'.
