With these apps and more in the pipeline watching the tv is changing quicker then people think, apps will be on every tv within 5 to 10 years.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

And yet I won't ever use any of them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Everybody to their own choice.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Well of course :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Without knowing what they are you can not say that, till now the boxes powering interactive TV have been low powered and have struggled to display a decent resolution. There is a lot that can be done with apps for a TV and they haven't even scratched the surface yet.

Just wait till Apple get round to launch Web Apps for Apple TV everyone will be on it then and we will finally see developers making use of a big screen and limited input method.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Apps on tv are just in the infant stage at the moment but they will soon multiply.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Thanks Media Boy but would be nice if any news of any more channels coming emerged soon.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

No new Channels launches coming on any soon from any info I have seen.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Personally denphone i think vm are concentrating on TiVo at the moment and getting Red Button settled in, apart from sky arts HD i suspect it may be a little while before any new channels,and vm will possibly concentrate more on streaming content just my opinion though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

It's like the news desk saying let's go over to the sports desk for the football results when there's no games on! Absolutely pointless:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

By god we got a live one here.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Thankyou;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

If you don,t ask questions you do not get any answers.
