Seems a sensible conclusion to me.

It was that bad that I couldn't find anything that I wanted to watch during their free promotions!

I noticed yesterday that BT SPORT 1 FREE had been added to the V+ EPG. To answer my own question, it is indeed a simulcast of the normal BT Sport 1 for the duration of the 'channel'.

I'd have thought that it would have been easier to simply unencrypt BT Sport 1 for the match; but from what i've been told it's more complicated to turn the encryption on and off for cable than it is for satellite- hence the decision to create what is probably the shortest channel life in the history of cable television in the UK!!!

Maybe VM will launch Amazon Prime instead?
After clicking on that link, Picturebox are still advertising availability on VM. However, upon clicking on their link to VM, all references to Picturebox seem to have been removed. They only mention the films and boxsets available on Netflix and Sky.

I've just seen this on the VM website

žSky Movies On Demand: Over 1000 movies on demand are available to Virgin Media customers from the 6th March 2015.

This is today....Does anyone know if the Sky Movies On-demand section has had a sudden increase or do we have to sign into the Sky Movies app?

Rumour: Sky Movies to be axe from EPG?

An Sky Sources has told me:

Quote:
Sky asked if I was aware of they upcoming price changes and would I be interested in taking Sky Movies again on an on demand basis without live channels. They asked if I would be prepared to pay £10 - £12 for such a service.

Sky Movies is £19.50 per month on Virgin Media. It looks like Sky are ready to launch a cheaper alternative to their usual Sky Movies set-up. No live channels on the EPG with all movies being available on an on demand basis only.

If that is the way that SKY are going, surely that would mean big rise in either DVD/Blu Ray sales or pirate downloads.

Can someone on TV M please check if they can receive BT Sport 1 on channel 555; i'm curious as to if M TV customers get this.

Apparently, this is also available on satellite, but is free to view as opposed to free to air- meaning that a Sky card of some sort is required.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
 
I think it is free to all customers without BT, not sure though.

Are BT guilty of false advertising? All week they`ve been saying the Bradford v Reading match is free to EVERYONE but my mother who only has freeview can`t watch it so how is it free to everyone?

That's an interesting move from Sky, i think the movies are only available on demand for NowTV on Youview?

More people would probably thing £10-£12 is doable rather than the nearly £20 currently, although i don't think they'll remove the linear channels if people are happy to pay it.
Interesting times ahead and it seems Sky may be leading the way by testing the water.

aye surely this is good news? people will be able to watch movies much cheaper than with the linear channels?

Im pretty sure people will get the option to keep the linear channels too if they pay more. just seems more options for people?
