One thing that should help get Disney + to VM when the Sky deal expires is that O2 UK has exclusive mobile rights to Disney +. And VM UK and O2 should be merging next year.

Looks like something may be happening with Disney+:

How do I use my apps on the Virgin Media TV 360 box?
Love your TV apps?

You’ll find a huge selection of built in apps such as YouTube, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, as well as lots of interactive games for the family. All of which are available to watch on demand for customers with Maxit TV.

Plenty more popular apps such as Amazon Prime and Disney Plus are also available, keeping the whole household happy."

I have the 360 and no DIsney Plus yet!!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Nice looking box though but D+ is not going to be on it as far as i'm aware, as i said i will check in office Monday see if any info comes in.

For those who don't know i work for a company who finalises deals for various content providers .

yawn. no politics talk here. we all have our views and opinions but lets try to make this.....about changes to virgin media tv so we all keep the peace and the mods are happy :D

how far in advance did we know amazon prime app was coming to virgin media? it would seem disney would want skyQ and virgin media to get the app on their boxes as a result of removing the channel?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I would be a little surprised if Disney+ did not arrive on 1 October. VM were reported to be in discussions with them since just before it was launched on Sky. The removal of the Disney channels on both platforms would appear to be a good reason to set Virgin’s launch date as 1 October.

This could be quite a day if we get the Sky deal launched at the same time.

I’m still not convinced that the UKTV deal has been activated yet. Did anyone notice any difference?

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

It is not going to launch on October the 1st on VM, by your logic D+ should also launch on Youview boxes on that date too which simply will not happen.
SKY have the tv provider exclusive rights i'll try and find out how long that is for tomorrow in work, and o2 have exclusive mobile provider rights.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I don’t see how Youview relates to Virgin Media, to be honest.

I thought I had read that Sky did not get exclusive rights to Disney +. There is no reason, to my knowledge, why the app could not appear on Virgin boxes. I think I am right in saying that it was only the integration of Disney+ on Sky Q boxes that was exclusive.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I think Sky's exclusive rights were for them to act as agents to sell with their tv service - nothing to do with which devices could carry it.

I went direct to Disney+ for my subscription as it was far cheaper at the time.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I think we will get it long before then.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Because youview is the platform BT,Plusnet, Talktalk use so by your logic as Disney channels are closing D+ must be coming to VM therefore Youview too right?

Also easier to cancel via D+ direct no need to phone SKY, although tbf to SKY when i've phoned i've not had to wait too long in queues.

I hope i can bring good news tomorrow fingers crossed something is on the system regarding D+

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

It would be logical, but it ain’t necessarily so. VM are in separate negotiations.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Having seen this subsequent post to mine in which Disney + was mentioned in the blurb for the TV 360 box, I agree.
