Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

I'm hoping for a few things more than that

1) A 360-software update that stops all the complaints

2) Virgin Media make deals to include other streaming services into packages such as paramount, MAX etc.

3) Sky Atlantic (finally) and Sky realise if people on cable haven't moved to sky by now or subscribed to Now TV they aren't gonna now(!)

4) Yank channels such as CBS News, Fox News and PBS

5) Premier Sports heads to the XL Package with LA Liga TV etc

All pie in the sky i know and I've mentioned a lot of these over the last 15 odd years but still...

glass half full haha.

Merry christmas folks!

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

If you think about it Virgin Media DON'T need to do any prices rises until after 2027 as Virgin Media are saving paying TNT Sports UK about £5 per head (Rumour I did hear when BT Sports UHD was launched) as TNT Sports UK is no longer on XL Package.

But I am all for Premier Sports coming to XL Package.

the shareholders want an increase MB!

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

1) isn’t going to happen because unless the 360 offers exactly the same as the V6, the usual suspects will always complain.

2) Virgin might offer ‘packages’ of streamers, but my guess is that these will be offers of the free ad-infested versions.

3) Sky Atlantic is becoming a spent force, and from 2026, all HBO material will be on Max. Negotiations for that are already underway.

4) and 5), good luck with them!

There is a CBS News 24/7 FAST channel on Pluto TV, at best that could get added to the EPG

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

No, it doesn't. We've been through this repeatedly. Yes, some features are similar, but others are missing.

Someone did a very useful list comparison fairly recently and posted it in one of the threads.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

You missed the word ‘unless’ before you answered.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Don't know what u mean.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

He means that you should read my post again. I didn’t say the 360 ‘offered the same as the V6,’ I said ‘unless the 360 offers the same as the V6, the usual suspects will continue to complain’.

I could have worded it better to avoid that confusion, sorry.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Think 360 software is amazing but i understand some people don't like change! :D

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

I understand now, thanks for explaining. Yes, I hadn't taken the 'unless' into account which changed what you were saying completely. It's funny how one word or punctuation can do this, for example 'shall we eat, father' means something completely different without the comma :D

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

It’s not necessarily they don’t like change, some people simply have different needs and requirements.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Why should they like it, change is not always good, esp if it removes fetures you use.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Christmas listings for tv this year are looking fairly lacklustre. No real surprise there mind!

Wallace & Gromit is about all I'll be watching.
There isnt even a Chritmas Top of the Pops anymore, we used to have that on after dinner.
