You may not be stressing, Andy, but some clearly are!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I refused to pay the install fee for Tivo as I had been with VM since the blueyonder days so they installed it free of charge,still don't really understand how to use the box to it's full capability but getting used to it now

BBC Radio 4 LW set to close on Virgin Media?

BBC Radio 4 LW on Virgin Channel 911 is not showing any listings with 'No programme information' but is still broadcasting sound.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I'll try this again.

Do you have a source (insiders, contacts etc.)?

Are you going by what other people with sources have said?

Or is it a gut feeling?

If it's non of the above, it is pure speculation on your part.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Rumours posters has told me this week that:

-FOX + launch is put on hold due to Netfix.
-One Rumour poster says Virgin had signed an deal with Sky and the channels are set to launch within the next two weeks* with an rumour posted on VM Forum that says they may launch on October 30th (*But that look like that will not happen due to the Netfix / FOX + hold up.)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Do you mean the activation fee as i thought the install was free anyway?

So you got it for nothing? apart from the £5 per month, or whatever it is?

Defo tempted if i could get it for a fiver a month.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

With all the new channel launched so far in 2013 and possible ones till the end of the year

What channels are left for 2014?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

As always MB, cheers for info.:) I fully understand that they may not launch before 2014.

Personally, I will be well chuffed IF MGMHD (would happily spend £5 a month if I had to, great value for some of the movies they show) and UniversalHD launch.

Will be happier when Nat Geo Wild HD launches though:)

I am not overly worried about the rest, but I will more than happy for those who want the other channels, IF they launch. I dread to think what people will talk about on here though if they do launch though:(.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Personally would be more interested in the remaining Sports channels and the movies and news channels mentioned there by MB. Rest of it couldn't give a flying saucer about. But that is personal opinion.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Everyone has there choices,whatever we see or not.no one can complain about this year with vm,we have seen new owners and a staggering amount of channels and if what has happened since they have taken over is anything to go by for the future then things are on the up.i have contributed to the rumours over the last few months and so far bar sky Atlantic and universal hd everything I have stated seems to have come along fingers crossed we will see these shortly and hopefully more,I would personally like to thank mb for taking the time to make this thread and for taken the time to collect all the info this year so far.recently he as received some stick regarding some of is posts,but if you compare the actually things he as said that have come along far over way the things that currently haven't.Keep up the good work bud :cleader:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

I was hoping that Pick +1 would start to help reduce recording clashes.

:D

So it is, I do know that the BBC intend to eventually close Radio 4 LW due to the transmitter needing obsolete 1960's equipment. I don't think that this empty EPG listing actually means anything, as nobody knows when Radio 4 LW will cease because it all depends on how long the valves last!

The transmitter needs two of these valves, they last between 1 and 10 years and there are only 10 left in the whole world.

No attempts to manufacture similar valves will be made as this could cause a dangerous power surge to the transmitter.

I had a quick look to see if it was already on the platform and couldn't see it, does anybody know which EPG number it is on?

:D

Wouldn't Sky simply use the old Sky Livingit SD slots :confused:

What did Sky do with the old Bravo slots?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Style is on channel 285 Richard

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Not good timing for Sky Sports F1HD to launch as the season will be over by then :sulk:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Sky did offer other broadcasters the right to use Channel One and Bravo slots.

FOX, Universal Channel and Comedy Central got them back in 2011.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Any more information on the epg changes?
