Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Sky Cinema is set to launch an Sky Cinema Matt Damon Channel from May 8th.

It will use Sky Channel 303 (Sky Cinema Hits EPG Slot on Sky).

But channel number is still not 100% confirmed for Virgin Media UK and Virgin Media Ireland.

We have still to see any info on when Sky Cinema Matt Demon will end.

You need very fast BT Internet for for UHD - we get 50mb on BT here and they say it is not fast enough for access to UHD.

They say you may be watch UHD via Internet, recording two HD channels via Internet and still want to browse/stream on other devices.

So set a minimum speed which many BT users, even on Infinity, just can not get.

But that's no good if you want to do searches and go straight into those programmes using only one device (ie the V6).

I have all the programmes I want to see that are carried by Virgin Media and Netflix under 'My Shows' and I can keep track of them all much better in that way. Finding programmes I want to see on Amazon and Now TV is a faff by comparison.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

l certainly have to agree with that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I have Amazon Fire TV and I absolutely love it. You can add apps yourself too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I have a Roku, which has loads of streaming services on there, including Netflix, Amazon and Now TV.

However, that doesn't detract from the fact that if Amazon joined Virgin Media and was available on the Tivo/V6 boxes, that would be a lot less hassle for me. I really don't want to have to go into a number of different streaming platforms to watch the content I want. It should all be available in one place.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Also a search on fire TV brings up results from Netflix and Amazon shows. In the US it covers more services.


A search on my Roku 2 box brings up results from Now TV, Amazon and Netflix, plus purchase options from Google Play. You scroll down the list to chose which provider to watch on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Very similar to Youview. A search on Youview brings up content from the EPG, catch up TV, Netflix and NowTV

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

If we had that on the Tivo/V6, we'd get that as well as all the cable channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

The date we have for Amazon on v6 is still Summer 2017, wether or not it'll happen is anyones guess.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

l doubt it sadly...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

And the date for Now TV is Winter 2027 ;)


I cant see an obvious issue with VM adding Amazon. I's effectively the same as Netflix, with different content. Netflix can't have affected VM's TV subscriptions, otherwise it would no longer be there. Amazon, like Netflix, only have a few first run weekly shows; it's mainly back seasons, or shows that have never had a UK pickup. Pay TV is about current shows. OTOH Now TV is competition in that it shows lots of current shows

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Why do you think there is not a issue? as its pretty clear we would have had it long before now if there was not a issue.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Provided Virgin enabled the Now TV Entertainment Pass for those on the Full House pack only, I see no conflict there. It would give Virgin subscribers the means to access Sky Atlantic via the VM platform, which would certainly stop the wingeing on this forum.

Who's whingeing as you seem to be the expert at that OB.;):D
