With little time between now and the start of the season. Sky will be starting to advertise for next season's games.

I'd hope we hear something in the next week or 2.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)

Might be all games on tv again the way things are going.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

That would be nice.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

If it's anything like Scotland, which started their new season today, clubs could do a Virtual Season Ticket for all the Home games that are not on Sky. And the Away sides have the right to do PPV for those matches, so away supporters can see those.

I saw a match today like that. Casting it to the TV.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I thought they said all the games wouldn't be on TV (Sky, BT etc). Maybe they will be streamed.

At Oxford United, they have said ST holders would get the game on iFollow. I guess all EFL will be the same. EPL may do the same

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

It was the case for Forest fans. Season ticket holders got to watch the games on iFollow. The last few games were torture for me!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

You must be glad County didn't make it?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

On the contrary,I was cheering for them yesterday. Forest fans and Notts County fans have always got on great unlike rivalry in other cities. I've got lots of Notts County friends. We get on great together at work and in the community. I would love to see Notts County get back in the Football League. It's Derby County that we don't like.

Ofcom web site has revealed that Sony was given an new broadcasting License for "Sony Crime". https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your...cences/updates

No other info was given.

3rd time lucky.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Depends on how you count them.

Surprising. I thought if they tried again it would be another brand, like AXN (but FTA), and covering a (slightly) different demographic.

Good find Media Boy though. :)

Following a change on satellite, Sky Sports Racing HD's bitrate has more than halved from an average of 12.8Mb/s on 12.324V to only 6.1Mb/s on 12.188H.

Do we know if there has been a corresponding cut on VM, either because there is a way to check bitrates or due to worse picture quality?

VM may well get a line feed of the channel, so may not have been affected.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

richard doesnt look noticeably different on my tv but i've had the same HD tv for a decade and my tv is only 32 inches...i could tell then it finally improved a few months back and cant see any decrease in quality. but without any technical knowledge and a tiny tv im probably not the best to answer this!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Thanks for your feedback anyway Vince :)

I know that Den watches it, so hopefully he'll see my post.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

more than welcome richard :) hope the crazy year so far of 2020 is keeping you as well as possible!
