Not sure if your TV is a 4K model but if so you can tune to the Astra 4K demo at 28.2 E.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yeah those encrypted channels are pains in the backside, my Samsung has sattelite, terrestial and cable tuners although the cable one isn't uk lol. Sattelite picks up well over 3000 channels a majority of them are either encrypted or duplicates takes awhile to organse them all, but worth it as the channels are then set out how you want them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

BT Sport HD Channels all together, that's so much better :clap:

Is BT Sport Extra 1 going to get it's own EPG slot or we just continue to access via red button?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Our Sources have told us at BT Sport Extra 1 is testing with EPG saying "Channel coming soon".

We have seen no news on launch date for it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

that is good news, espn being far away from the others was quite annoying

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

VM free broadband speed upgrade coming soon.... I guess a price rise coming soon as well ;-)

Or maybe the recent £3 pay rise for the BT Sport channels takes this into consideration too?? we'll see lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'm especially glad that ESPN HD will be back at 530, as that was my go to number for years! I currently keep finding myself accidentally on the SD channels as 530 is BT Sport 1 SD.

First world problems and all....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well i hope they sort the utilization issues in my area first! <5Mb in the evenings :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Has Cambridge TV launched on Virgin Media today?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yup expected to be rolling out in final quater of this year 50mbs upgraded to 100mbs, 100mbs upgraded to 200mbs, 152mbs upgraded to 300mbs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yes, I can hardly wait!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Laughable isn't it my parents are on 100mb and regularly only see speeds of 10-15mb if they are lucky especially at weekends and evenings and this is after so called work to improve congestion.

I honestly can't see the point of upgrades if they aren't capable of delivering current speeds at peak times to everyone , in my experience they also take an age to deal with congestion.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Five new red button channels has launch today on any BT Sport Channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's the thing...It's all well and good saying quoting these speeds, but can people actually get them? lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I only have 4 red button streams on my TiVo.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

which in reallity means 10mbs, 30mbs, and 50mbs :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

On an V Box as of 12.46pm it:

-One Red Button channel on BT Sport 1 (BT Sport Extra 1).

-Five Red Button channels on other BT Sport Channels (BT Sport Extra 2, BT Sport Extra 3, BT Sport Extra 4, BT Sport Extra 5 and BT Sport Extra 6).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Checked again this is what is on my TiVo now.
One red button on BT sport 1(BT sport extra)
Four red button channels on other BT sport channels (BT sport Europe,BT sport extra2,3,4

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Got wired connection to pc and check it regularly and it is usually between 154mbs and going to maximum of 162mbs download, the upload is usually around 13mbs.

Have been involved in the Sam Knows broadband speed test which has a box attached to my router and the speed on the results they send each month rarely drops below 152mbs,

There is an occasional blip but nothing to cause any problem, might just be lucky where I live in Bishopbriggs

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I can verify that, i'm just outside Dundee and my speeds are very similar to that of Frazz.........:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think the area you live does make a difference. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I am able to get a wireless speed of 50mb on my smartphone...I don't have anything wired into my router, but I guess that my speeds would be close to the 152mb that I am on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

THere are only 3 Xtra matches this evening - so perhaps the offering changes depending on the amount of games (up to 6)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Good point! I was just clarifying with MB what was showing on TiVo compared to his V Box.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Are they in hd

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That are only SD on VM and Sky.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Spot on good sir. I have 150mb and at peak barely meet 10mb. I'm told I have a utilisation problem I'm given a reference number but in order to get a refund I have to call up every month even though they know it's a problem!

Rather than gimmicks and headlines why not provide the service they promise currently ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Good point. The extra portals may be for Europa League matches (which have 24 matches per matchnight).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I phoned up the first month and after i went back on the VM forums the mod put a note on my account to give me a discount until the review date in September, my bill has been £0 for two months :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

A new sports channel for one off events will be starting on channel 548- it will be available to all subscribers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Virgin are saying it's 'exclusive for now', which is correct.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That destroys the amc rumour! Oh well

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

For now!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

The Walking Dead isn't on AMC over here. It's on Fox.
Fear The Walking Dead is on AMC in both countries, The Walking Dead has different channels in each.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yes l am sure its coming soon.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

In the BT Sport Europe sense, or the ITV Encore / TruTV / Spike / Sky Atlantic sense?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Good point!

However, I am fairly confident that we will get the channel quietly, as was the case with BT Sport.

We are of course, BT Sport customers, via the XL pack!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I've given the full details that I was given and Showcase wasn't specifically mentioned, but I personally think that this will be the BT Sport Showcase channel :)

APR can discount this information as i'm obviously having a "Walter Mitty" moment :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

More likely in the ITV Encore etc , etc , etc sense.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

But we are not, it's a wholesale agreement between VM and BT and we are customers of virgin. I don't pay for BT

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Sorry, edited my reply after posting as I realised it was on Fox and hoped no one would have a chance to squeeze in a reply!
I think AMC will become more important in the UK over time but now it's a bit constrained by AMC's rights deals with other UK channels. By then, it may even be on VM!

---------- Post added at 18:25 ---------- Previous post was at 18:18 ----------

ITV Encore is pretty certain to come, but only when the period of exclusitivity with Sky expires. The channel launched on 9 June 2014. If it was exclusive for 18 months then it could launch on VM this December.
TruTV, Spike and Sky Atlantic appear less likely. But maybe the AMC situation will encourage VM to get TruTV and Spike.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

And Amazon have tied up the rights to several AMC shows.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

You are effectively paying BT through your subscription to the XL pack.

To my mind, that makes us BT customers, albeit in a second hand sort of way!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

No you are a VM customer , BT has absolutely no customer relationship with you.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

For those who may be interested in what's (not, apparently) coming soon, AMC has a new web site for the UK. Broadcast hours, initially, 6pm to 4:30am

http://www.amctv.co.uk/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

As expected, some channel slots have now been vacated and moved to their new homes.

The one off events channel on 548 has temporarily been renamed 'Channel Moved' and is currently showing an information slate for customers who previously visited this number for ESPN HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

BREAKING NEWS!!! BT Sport Freeview to launch at channel 548

Virgin Media Previews (channel 100) have announced that BT Showcase (a one-off events channel) is to launch at channel 548. Still no launch date in sight.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

We seen it early tonight.

We have not seen any info on launch date for BT Sport Freeview Channel yet.

UEFA Champions League Group stage, match day one starts on the 15th of September.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Watch this space.

---------- Post added at 22:52 ---------- Previous post was at 22:51 ----------

It launches August 31st and will air fear the walking dead ep1 in line with AMC global.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I wonder if BT insisted on this channel as part of VM getting BT Europe? Surely it won't go down well that customers will have to go to another platform to see the remaining episodes? Could VM launch it on 1 September instead?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

AMC is going to be on VM not long after launch, my source expected it end of this month but they got their dates mixed up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Thought it would be; seemed only logical. I believe that it's more problematic for cable companies to switch the encryption on and off too than it is for satellite.

I wasn't given a start date, but Andrew makes a good point about 'Fear The Walking Dead.

So, it seems that VM remote controls are expected to have a Sky button now(!)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That makes a lot of sense.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

thats a confident answer!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Tbh i suspect AMC will just show more dross and repeats!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Another channel launching on freeview that vm aren't getting is talking pictures. That is launching on freeview September 15th (ish) my sources have confirmed no news of it being on VM.
Talking pictures shows very old movies aka 50s 60s so a few of you movie fans might enjoy it, it is however available on freesat from SKY or can be manually tuned in on a freesat box etc.
http://talkingpicturestv.co.uk/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well that's interesting as i spoke to the guy who runs it and he said the Freeview costs were too much to launch, about half a million, so to hear this is coming to FV is a bit of a surprise TBH!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Bit more info on it now if you have a freeview hd box or tv you'll get it it will not be available on standard freeview boxes, the best way to know if you'll get it is if you are getting bbc4hd and motors tv you'll get talking pictures.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Pencilled in to start on 15/9/15.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

"Coming Soon"
http://talkingpicturestv.co.uk/faqs/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

If thats the case, you will need a Freeview HD receiver AND be in range of a transmitter carrying the lower powered COM7 mux.

http://www.a516digital.com/2013/02/w...-channels.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's right, that's the mux it's going on (less reach, but cheaper carriage.). I'm surprised they haven't gone the IPTV route.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

As of today BT SPORT FREE has started testing and is curently broadcasting the same feed as BT SPORT 1.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I wish STV would sell STV (Channel 3) to ITV as STV now have local Channels in Scotland to broadcast STV News and Scotland Tonight.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

October 1st will see the start of the rollout for vm upgrading broadbandspeed 52mbs - 100mbs, 100mbs- 200mbs, 152mbs - 300mbs.
SKY and Talktalk are currently trialing 940mbs speeds in selected areas.
BT are rumoured to start testing 1.5gbs soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

New local TV Channel on Virgin Media?

Can anyone tell me if That's Lancashire has launch on Virgin Channel 159 today in Blackpool, Preston and surrounding areas?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

No it hasn't

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Sounds like something the Horror Channel should be showing...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

STV local only covers edinburgh and glasgow, they have no plans to extend this out of these areas. The loss of Scottish Television would be a major blow to the national. STV do make some independent programming separate from ITV. Scotland does have a separate cultural identity and this is reflected in the different schedules here

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

STV are set to launch the following local channels in Aberdeen, Ayr and Dundee:

-Around Aberdeen
-Ayrshire Today
-View from the Bridges (Dundee)

90% of programming on Channel 3 in Scotland comes from ITV right now.

If ITV did take over an new look Scottish news from ITV will still appear on Channel 3 at 6pm.

STV News will just move to STV Local Channels.

---------- Post added at 16:24 ---------- Previous post was at 16:20 ----------

Our sources has confirmed in the past hour that BT SPORT FREE has now been rebrand as BT Sport Freeview.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I tweeted AMCUK, about the possibility of the channel coming to VM. My tweet was picked up by VM and I was given this response:

Good afternoon. We're always in talks with channel providers to ensure that we're offering the best line-up of content for our customers. As soon as we have any news, we'll be raving about it on our customer news page ( http://virg.in/custnews ), so watch that space. ^ZR

we can hope.

Speaking of local tv....Notts TV has gone 24 hours now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

This is their usual response, vms twitter team don't know their eggs from their bacon lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think their lips are sealed on forthcoming channel launches; yours less so. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I think they probably know less than us. Too busy trying to be 'fun' and 'quirky' instead of dealing with customer queries etc. Same as the 12 year old idiots who run most corporate social media sites.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Is it? Really? Can't say I've noticed.
OK, going up to 4 cities and 1 town. Not quite a comprehensive service, is it?
Wow! Sorted! ... long before there's any suggestion of a deal.

The inevitable political fall-out of STV being taken over by "English" ITV would run for years ...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I call STV on Channel 3 - ITV Scotland anyway as 85+% of the lineup comes from ITV anyway.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's like calling Sky One - America ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Nope I called Sky1 - Homer TV.

#slownewsday

In other news, the programming for AMC has now been confirmed. Noteworthy was that Fear the Walking Dead's premiere became the number one series premiere in US cable television history, and that AMC will premiere the drama Rectify from the producers of Breaking Bad.
http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2015/...for-uk-launch/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Just been looking at the AMC channel schedules for next week. It looks pretty good.

I hope we get the channel in time to catch all the programmes from the beginning.

The TV and Satellite Week magazine states after the channel number displays:

AMC is currently available to Sky viewers who subscribe to the BT Sport package, and to BT TV customers.

Very carefully worded, don't you think?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Totally agree. ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Good evening friends. Do we have a list of channels on m+ ? My friend is on xl and wants to downgrade due to price increases etc. the virgin media site is chaotic and I can't see any list of channels! It's so complicated.

My friend likes history channel and drama. Is this on m+?

Has anyone got any offers from virgin media due to price increases by threatening to go from xl to medium plus? I don't know if I can get my friend any lovely deals as he's really struggling currently

Handsome regards
