Re: Sky Anytime
 

ive ahd no tivo internet issues as in no connection at all just that film on SA, its strange

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Got an e mail from Virgin today advising me of the highlights on SA for October:rolleyes:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

At least you have had a little communiction from VM, They have not forgot you:erm:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I've not forgot u either Diablo;)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Better late than never :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I do not know what you mean mate:D:D:D:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Oh dear.:(

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Well im not sure if virgin are still downloading movies but looking on skys website and comparing to virgins anytime there are a number off films still missing friday the 12th(2009) for one.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Just up at my parents house having a look on their Sky Anytime on V+ , it seems the movies section doesn't contain this weeks premiere movies and certain shows for example Sky Living folder doesn't have Greys Anatomy included im sure theres more but can't think off the top of my head.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yep seems to be quite a lot not on VM's version of Anytime. Damn Sky for only ever giving us 70% of the cake while they Murdoch's gobble into the full Victoria:mad:



:D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Content is still being added :)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Im not having a go , on the contrary I'm quite impressed at the amount so far , just wondered on why certain content wasn't available.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I know mate, still making room I think MM :)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

There's loads of room left yet ;)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

:)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

any news of when the HD content will be added

Re: Sky Anytime
 

There's about 400+ films on Sky Anytime website film list.

On our boxes at the moment there seems to be half at most.

There isn't really much method to it either. They're adding stuff randomly. And like this weeks premiers, Rabbit Hole has gone up but the tourist and made in dagenham have not.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Just be patient and l am sure that it will all arrive pretty quickly in the next couple of weeks.

On Sky the Sky Premiere movies are waiting on your box on a Friday morning , The Tourist , Made in Dagenham , Rabbit Hole are available in HD. I guess the system will be different on VM.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Is that on Sky Anytime or Anytime+ muppetman?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sky Anytime mate.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

That is Sky Anytime and goes for the same on the web version they run.
Looks like Virgin have rolled out some but by no means as many as Sky Anytime has and also not as recent as mentioned new films get added weekly.
Also removed after several months or a year also.
They have an option of last chance that lists the films that are due to be removed from their service in the next week or 2. I found this handy in case you always thought I want to watch this sometime and then realise it's going in 3 days or whatever.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

who do youn think of sky anytime on virgin media?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

any news on when we will get HD Movies on Sky Anytime?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Give it time they will come.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

If we Build it?????

Re: Sky Anytime
 

i hate waiting :(

we should call in the 3 little pigs :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

That's good to hear. I always thought they'd have gimped the standard Anytime offering when they introduced Anytime+. :)

No the Sky Premiere HD movies still appear every Friday during the early hours , this weeks are on.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sorry this is a bit after the fact, but this is a bit like calling the sun a bit warm! Sky repeats ad neuseum, my bet is they get change from a pound for a day's broadcasting.

I rarely watch the Sky channels but tried Trollied as it's from the same stable as The Royle Family and we like Jane Horrocks. Looking through the EPG I noted that the same episodes were being repeated every night at the same time! Loved the show, but I'd like to know when the next episodes are due.

At the moment I have V+ (TiVO next week) and if I use series link and hit "All" then it would record a pile of repeats. Already a problem on the Sky channels this is riduculous.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It shouldn't V+ works in a similar way to Sky+ , say the new series started on Monday at 9pm if you series link this it should record all episodes every Monday unless the broadcaster switches day. A wishlist for the show when you get TIVO would instantly record it , I'm sure someone on here could advise you on the best way to set it up to avoid repeats if that's possible.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Thanks again mate, good to have you around. :)

Am I right in thinking that you don't need to download the Anytime programmes at all & they can just be copied straight to your planner?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

'New and reruns' is the best option. Tivo won't record the same episode of a show within 28 days of the first recording. If it's a brand new show, never aired before, you can select 'New'. Initially , there was somtimes problems with 'New' option on US shows if they'd aired previously in the US This seems to be fixed now, but 'New and reruns' is still the safest option. I do use 'new' sometimes though, for channels such as Universal, who are constantly showing various seasons of shows like L&O SVU, and all I want is the latest one.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Anytime content is downloaded via satellite to your box overnight and available to play instantly , it is refreshed each day.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I had a peak at the Sky one stuff today and glad to see some US stuff in there now but man is it messed up, Modern Family S3 had episode 2, 7 and 8.

SG1 had a very bizarre listing it went something like 1, 12,13,14,15,17,2,3,4 and even then there seemed to be episodes missing.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

The SG1 one looks like a software sorting issue. sorting as if they are characters and not a number.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Shouldn't the movies on Sky Premier not appear on demand?:confused: Suspecting not quite getting what we thought we were getting.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I've been catching up on Lie To Me season 1 (Sky Anytime > Sky1) but episode 5 is missing. Also, the last episode available is 11 which seems like a strange number of episodes for a US series.

• Why might one or more episodes be missing?
• How would I bring it to VM's attention?

These episodes are only available until Wednesday 30th November so I am keen to see any missing ones before they expire.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

it may have finished on episode 11 if it was made a few years ago when writers strikwe was on, it happened to a few shows

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Lie to me Season 1 had 13 episodes.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235099/...s?mode=desktop

---------- Post added at 14:08 ---------- Previous post was at 14:03 ----------

Just up at my parents house and there box also only has upto episode 11 with 5 missing.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I should have done my research before posting. I have now verified on IMDb that the following episodes were made:-

• Season 1: 2009 - 13 episodes
• Season 2: 2009/2010 - 22 episodes
• Season 3: 2010/2011 - 13 episodes

So where are season 1 episodes 5, 12 and 13?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

post on the Community Forum and they can get a ticket raised with the VoD team to add the missing episodes.. I'd raise it, but I'm off today :)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Leave it with me, will take a look ;)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Looks like a fault, see my reply above :)

---------- Post added at 14:13 ---------- Previous post was at 14:12 ----------

Wasn't sure if you were online essjay ;)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Have the HD versions of Sky movies been added yet, and if they have, are they in 5.1 audio?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

No HD as of yet (for me at least).

Re: Sky Anytime
 

No l have got any either.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

DF, you've been off for years! :(

Thanks guys.

So, is essjay looking into it or am I raising a ticket?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

ha ha only time I get to look at the forums is when I'm off, way too busy most days :)

essjay is dealing with it ;)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

All sorted :)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Wow! ...... Now that's service with a smile. :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Might there be a cacheing issue? It's still only listing 10 episodes. Should I reboot the box?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What I meant was I have created a fault and sent it to Sky. It's down to Sky to send the content now.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Ah! Okay, thanks for doing that so quickly.

Nite, nite.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I'm in the doghouse again
Mrs. D&C loves her Greys Anatomy, and watched Episode 1&2
Went to watch Episode 3, and guess who forgot to set the Series Link
:doh:
No problem I thought it will be on Sky Living Anytime....but no....only Episodes 1&2
Any idea if and when Episode 3 will be uploaded ??
:help:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It should come on as 1,2,3 are now on Sky Anytime+

Re: Sky Anytime
 

If Sky action this straight away does it still require an overnight transfer to VM or would it be immediate?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

A few hours to download to every region AFAIK

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Any thoughts about Sky Go coming across for us with the full sports package, but not such movie lovers?!

Re: Sky Anytime
 

i think we have as much chance of seeing Masfield town wining the EPL this season than that happning and they are in the BSQ

Re: Sky Anytime
 

I'll keep an eye out for those three missing episodes but they are due to expire tomorrow so there won't be much opportunity to watch them even if they turn up tonight. :(

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Is there a Virgin Media equivalent to Sky Go?

Also, will we be getting Sky Anytime+?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Virgin MEdia Player which is on the VM Site

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What do you mean Anytime+. That's Sky's name for their VoD over broadband service (compared with Anytime which is the download to box via satellite thing)

The content in the Sky Anytime service on Virgin is from Anytime+

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sky now have Anytime+ movies available On Demand via Sky Go on mobile devices also now.

---------- Post added at 16:17 ---------- Previous post was at 16:14 ----------

It is the responsibility of VM to provide its customers with mobile content deals , Sky Go is a service provided by Sky for Sky customers.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

And at present Sky have not allowed Virgin to show Sky content on Mobile devices

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What content does VM player actually contain ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What a shame!

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Essjay are Sky Premier movies gonna appear on anytime?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Also what about HD movies ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

After signing in using your link Ben I get the message that this is only available to trial customers:confused:

Re: Sky Anytime
 

you need to be an XL customer with BB

Re: Sky Anytime
 

He has the VIP 50 package.

---------- Post added at 20:32 ---------- Previous post was at 20:30 ----------

Very weird.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

didnt know he was VIP

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Very odd. Just tried it myself and it went though fine - although there is a slight hiccup with the Device detection at the mo (you have to allow all content to be displayed for it to work)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Sorry Henkesghost not able to look at the schedule, not back in the office until 17th Dec !!

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Lucky thing :)

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Still no sign of the missing episodes so it doesn't look good for the expiry deadline tonight. :(

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Deadline might have been too tight for Sky to send over. I'm not aware of the ticket number, but I'll have a nose around later.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

If I use the search facility to look for Bones it finds S7:Ep1 in TV Choice OD but if I go directly into Sky Anytime > Sky Living it shows S7:Ep2 also. Wassup?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Can anyone tell me how soon after a programme is aired will it turn up on Sky Anytime or any other OD for that matter? The latest episode of Bones was aired last night but I didn't get to see it. When can I expect it to be available to view in On Demand?

---------- Post added at 13:48 ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 ----------

All gone now! :(

I may still get to see Ep12 and Ep13 if they are aired this/next week but my wife won't which is a shame as it's yet another series that we have just discovered and both enjoy. From the episode description on IMDb, I have definitely missed Ep5 and I suspect that it wasn't aired with the others and I wonder now if Ep12 and Ep13 will be.

Does this sort of thing happen a lot?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

There's loads of stuff missing that should be there on our boxes.

The Tourist and Made in Dagenham to name but 2.

They are on Virgin Media Player and they both premiered weeks ago on Sky so it's not that I haven't given it time, but that there's an issue.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

It is becoming a joke now, they've had over a month since launch and the content is still subpar to what is available on Sky itself. It seems like whoever is uploading the content just isn't doing checks as anytime someone points out an individual case Essjay has it sorted.

Now... can I get a job in on demand quality assurance please? :D

Re: Sky Anytime
 

:clap::clap::clap:

Essjay said HD content was coming very soon , That was 6 weeks a go.
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...l#post35316814

None has appeared.


Just noticed there is a folder called "Challenge" on Sky Anytime on TV Choice on demand with nothing in it.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Made in Dagenham and The Tourist are both available OD in SD and HD through Sky.

---------- Post added at 19:27 ---------- Previous post was at 19:20 ----------

Lie to me Season 1 has now completely been removed off Sky , Bones has Season 7 Episodes 1, 2, 3 on Sky.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...ht/true#M67572

So The Tourist and Made in Dagenham will not be on the boxes ?

Have looked at that link not a single movie from Sky Anytime is listed. What a joke.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

If you read the other posts you will see that there has been a problem and Essjay has looked in to it, So it is been resolved.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35336341-post754.html

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Hopefully it is fixed very soon. I am not holding my breath.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Diablo, Essjay is very helpful, however our version of Anytime has been a disappointment after a bright start. It's layout is all over the place and advertises stuff that ain't on there:( The lack of sky premier movies is a big letdown.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Yep, not a single one listed. Had a look at that Colette's posts and she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

You can say that again.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Only thing I am disappointed is the lack of HD movies on demand.

Re: Sky Anytime
 

As one would expect on Sky, however the old content on VM's Anytime is removed in a timely fashion but the new content lags behind or, as in the case of three episodes of Lie To Me, never arrives at all. :confused:

I've worked in the IT industry for 30 years and I'd be re-booting someone's seating area if a file transfer process was repeatedly failing and no-one was noticing. :mad:

Also, what about the point I made about the search facility? It's showing one episode of Bones but there are two available (although there should be three :rolleyes:).

Re: Sky Anytime
 

What Sky Anytime content will we actually get on Challenge ?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

Takishi's Castle & Crystal Maze?

Re: Sky Anytime
 

muppetman would know the answer.
