Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

We have Amazon Prime but there is no UKTV on that sadly.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

UKTV play is free for all the free to screen channels. £7.99 for the premium channels.

Compared to the VM offering it's looking attractive to dump TV.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

just got to hope common sense will make both VM and UKTV come to a agreement as it not good for either this or us customers

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Even if they just have the free channels.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

well its not looking like a deal will be done as we rapidly approach midnight. I very much doubt they are in discussions at this time on a Saturday night anyway. Tv player appears to be desktop only for the uktv affected channels as it says not avaliable on connected tvs.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

You can watch TV player on your TV with a Roku or Amazon fire TV stick both are relatively low cost

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Yes but I was looking on devices supported and it says the UKTV channels are not supported on Amazon, roku due to licence. They are however avaliable through tv player on desktop. https://tvplayer.com/channel-availability

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Interesting page

Never seen that before

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Someone said that the first three months is free so, if correct, this would be a free way to watch the end of series that people are part way through.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

AFAIK It’s only 14 days free before you pay and........

.....”Alibi, Eden, Gold, Good Food, W, Eurosport 1 and 2 are NOT available during free trials.”

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Although it is fair to say that there is much better content on Prime than on UKTV!

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

And then there were none!

So long UKTV channels.

See you in Freeview land (well, some of you).

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Well 12:04am and the channels are still here .....

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Alibi now showing as "Not authorised" with no replacement channel. Message saying to "contact VM if this keeps happening"! I don't think they mean that somehow ;)

It would have been better to have put up a slate explaining the position.

Tuning away and back again brought up the new channel.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
 

Well i'm pissed off with the new channels already, some of them are taking up two channel numbers in the epg, for example True Entertainment+1 is on channel 190 and 220, Vice is on 191 and 219. Also quite a few of the 'new' channels were already available to Virgin customers and I see nothing that looks like a comedy/light entertainment channel. Paramount Network is a completely misleading titile for a channel!! I remember when Paramount Comedy was a thing and it was rather good.
