I appreciate you saying that Hugh.

Actually, the quote I was referring to regarding the current situation regarding VM and Sky Atlantic was said yesterday following the release of the Q1 2011 results. I accept that whilst we had an idea that this was the case, I felt it was important to underline this in reply to an earlier post by stating what the current position is in case people had not spotted the quote. As i said, just trying to be helpful and I'm sorry that he couldn't understand this and that he chose to dismiss my intentions to be helpful with a sarcastic reply.

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

It was obvious to me it was new info, like I said, good post. :)

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

Because you never post similar posts do you Carl ? Pre 2002 ring a bell , and Record Everything :rolleyes:

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

The information was from Virgin Media's chief financial officer Eamonn O'Hare.

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

Apologies for the over-reaction. But, like I said, it's not like it was new news.

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

So I take it red button didn't launch but no one really wants to say it

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

Its nice to be so well thought of dear Mobes.

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

I guess, denphone, like most other trolls the more we ignore you the less relevant you will become.

Yes we all come on here to read your little snippets you post that are like little rays of sunshine on a dull and dank day:p::p::p:

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

Well just had a call from the ceo`s office by a chap called anthony regarding my email about lack of new channels,He openly admitted that new content is needed and will be on its way this year he couldnt give my a time frame.But stressed that they have been concentrating on tivo,100meg bb and the red button and now its back to new channels,VM still hope to get sky atlantic and he said releations between the to companys(vm/sky) are good.He stressed that if what is planned comes off vm are going to get stronger and stronger over the next 12 months,He even finished the conversation by given me a direct number to him should i have anymore concerns/quiries.
Dare i say it but for the min it still remains coming soon but got to say im very impressed that they took the time to contact me and here`s hoping for some annoucements soon

If that was for me I am sorry as I was having a joke:(

If that was for me I apologise to the forum but not the individual concerned.

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

l can cope with forum members who do not like me or my opinions quite easily, if l can cope with 7 operations then l can cope with people who dislike my views and opinions.

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

Nope it launched.

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

Thanks for posting your information, its a bit more of a detailed response than normal.
Essential though as you say "coming soon":D

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

I personally can see Sky Atlantic ending up on VM within 6-9 months but that is just my opinion , I think the harder ones to get will be Sky Sports 3 and 4 HD.

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

I think that Sky Atlantic will launch on VM at some point this year but as always Sky want that period of exclusivity to try and gain customers within that time

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

From a business point of view you can hardly blame them though can you , after all they have invested a fair wedge of money in it.

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

Nope, and I'm not knocking them for it, it does make sense for them to do it. Once they feel that they have gained as many customers as they can from having it exclusive then they will make it available to other platforms.

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

VM may be right to be cautious over 3DTV

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...stigation.html

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

Not a problem,I agree a lot more detail than normal.I was very impressed that they took the time to contact me and shared my views regarding content,He stressed that it was a view shared by all at vm

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

I set up a manual recording yesterday just in case, but I am reliably informed that it will be in there in time.

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

Cheers for that carl,Sad loss for all us old skool doctor who fans.Would hate to have missed it:(

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

To be fair VM are spot on at the CEO office they almost always reply and are usually as helpful as they can be unlike Sky's CEO who never reply.

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

He also suggested i subscribe to press office on the vm site for future anouncements,Cant seem to find it.Anyone any ideas ?

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

Just wanted to say I honestly enjoy denphone's posts. I know he goes a little off track now and again but it's good to have opposing views. It makes a change from some of the Little Rays of Sunshine who think VM can do no wrong. Sorry to hear you've had to go through so many operations mate, hope your on the mend. :)

If after visiting that site you feel like you've gone back in time in terms of web design, then don't worry as it hasn't been updated since 2007 and still resembles the original virginmedia.com.

They are, apparently, in the process of updating it. But you probably know as well as I do how long these things take for corporate entities ;)

sorry you say the red button launched? well it wasn`t on my box last night when I tried `match choice`. The only thing i can think of is it`s for sky sports hd only?

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

Customer services i spoke to admitted it had not launched and the lady i spoke to said she had no idea when it would.

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

I don't know about that but I noticed you have gone from negative to a positive reputation, Denphone I think you have a growing fan club:D

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

Sky Sports Red Button may launch on Virgin Media on April 28th (Info from Sky Sports Red Button Thread).

Also I have been told that Sky Sports Red Button will launch on Tivo Sometime in July.

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

The official Planned Updates thread on the tivocommunity forum says late 2011/early 2012 for Sky Sports red button on TiVo:

"Sky sports red button will not be available on TiVo until late 2011 early 2012 however will be available next month on V+ and V boxes."

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

He's around - I would make a guess that he got fed up with all the Sky v Virgin bickering going on, but I could be wrong.

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

So you obviously disagree with Media Boy then.

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

He instigated a lot of it , one was Sky being petty over mini screen , which was proved to have been contract wrangling and is now sorted , plus why wouldn't people compare to the biggest pay TV provider in the UK.

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

The saga continues.

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

Not so much bickering i would guess in my case it would just be nice if virgin levelled with us thats all and communicated officially after all they are a communications company, but Digital Fanatic has only tried to be helpful on here on a personal level and i for one will not run him down.

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

Thanks Media Boy.:)

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

Thank you very much for your information.

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

We all know that DF works for VM so it's hardly surprising if he posts in their favour. That happens on all forums. Also if Sky were stopping paying customers from viewing their channels in the mini screen it's hardly a big deal to say they are being petty. With this constant barrage of petty criticism it's hardly surprising if he's had enough.

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

I was just posting what VM have said.

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

But you need facts to back allegations up , if he can't take criticism on the chin maybe forums are not for him :D

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

Keep up the good work Media Boy, post up what you hear on the grapevine... Most peeps on cableforum know you post in good faith. :tu:

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

l have never criticised Digital Fantastic or Media Boy on this forum, my views and opinions are aimed at Virgin Media.

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

I never said you had denphone.

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

l know you did not.

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

I haven't actually, however he has had his share of run ins just ask MrS LOL :D

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

Who is she.

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

Mr S LOL :D

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

Very, very good.

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

Well I don't know if it was proved to have been contract wrangling. We know an agreement has now been reached but do we know what was in the previous contract agreement - could it have been no Sky programmes in the mini screen?

Personally (and I know not everyone is the same) I don't come here to read about comparing Sky and Virgin so spend a lot of my time wading through posts to find something of interest.

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

Nope am not interested myself in comparing sky and virgin,what i would like however is somebody with authority coming on here and explaining the reason why Red Button has been delayed, i would not mind if vm communicated with its customers which apparently it seems very reluctant to do sadly.:(

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

Is that not what I'm trying to say , we don't know , however DF seemed to think he did , why pinpoint me for comparing Sky many on here do , my posts are non bias to either company , VM provide a good service hence why I still have TV , BB and phone with them.

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

yes l agree with that.

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

+1

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

Just want to post in support of DF, there may be opposing views at times and BB discussions may get a little heated but nothing wrong with somebody defending VM when some people criticisms go too far.
Not saying VM are always right and don't make mistakes which need customers to complain about to put pressure on VM , they certainly do but let be a little more pragmatic here please!

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

If that's what you were trying to say you confused me as you said it was proved to have been contract wrangling and is now sorted.

Calm down young man ;) no one is pinpointing you - at no point did I specifically mention you, there's plenty of people who post Sky v Virgin comments on here.

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

Very well said, But I just want to add that I am thankful for all the staff on here. Also MB and others that go out of their way to try to help with the info that they are able to get or able to say.

P.S Can we stop desecrating MBs Coming Soon thread:erm:

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

Very valid point Spiderplant has helped loads on here with problems , BenMcr has helped me with a few billing issues , and Masque has a sense of humour so a big Thankyou to them anyway back to coming soon.

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

Surely as they are the two big pay tv providers it's only natural to compare sky to virgin, just as you'd compare Tesco to Morrisons etc

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

Agree completely, they don't have to help anybody on this forum. It shows how dedicated they all are to their company!

Now back to the thread, sounds a silly question but is there a preferred time of the year to launch new channels? In relation to the opposite I would say would be is the Summer with least impact!

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

Not too sure the seemed to launch the sporadically over the year :confused: ( then there was the main SKY HD launch ). So I think it is anyones guess:confused:

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

Didn't we have a batch of HD channels launch on VM last year around March/April time?

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

April 1st in 2010.
March 30th in 2009.

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

Thanks MB!

By the way are you really 4 years of age:D from your profile info

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

No only ''Media Boy'' is.

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

The same as Virgin Media :D:D

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

:o::)

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

l have never had a go at DF or MB on this forum as if l do have a go it is at Virgin poor communication and vague press releases.
As far as l am concerned this forum is all about opinions, debate and seeing what people are discussing and talking about.

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

It's also good for a good bit of gossip about what might be round the corner. It's usually pretty well informed gossip as has been proven time and time again so we really shouldn't complain if the rumours are scotch mist.

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

Usually well informed?  aye right

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

I'd say the substance of what the likes of MB and DF post usually has some basis. It doesn't alway come to fruition but I'm quite happy to take it on board on that basis.

I appreciate the effort they put in collating and passing on what they've heard. It'd be a pretty dull thread without them.;)

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

Very off-topic, but what are those strange boxes of hex digits that keep appearing in your posts?

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

I was wondering the same. They're what Firefox prints up when it doesn't have a glyph for a particular character; the numbers are the Unicode glyph number. They all seem to be in the Unicode private use area. Care to enlighten us, Henkesghost?

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

Do you mean where the smilies should be? Cos I'm just seeing smilies.

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

More a case of well intended I would say, these posters while able to obtined such advanced information also have no control on any new channel or feature release, so either you wait until an official announcement comes out or do not take timescales too literally.
