My hunch is the box will be launched in June/July Andrew.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Well I think the launch content for 4K would be provided by Netflix, Amazon prime and YouTube

Well Netflix does offer content in 4K but sadly that will cost £8.99 per month. With TiVo launching before the olympics I can't see any reason to not show it in 4k

No 4K from the Olympics.

So then if there no 4K why is virgin waiting till before the Rio olympics

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Nobody knows when the box is arriving, so the question "why is virgin waiting till before the Rio Olympics" isn't really answerable, as no one has (except some rumours) stated VM are waiting till before the Rio Olympics...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Products get launched when they are ready; not to some date outside VM's control.

To set a fixed date would probably mean either launching it before it is ready, or sitting on a complete product instead of earning money from it. Either would be bad business.

What i want to see on the new virgin media tivo box is more recording space like 150% or 200% and more tv channels and apps aswell.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

And more tuners....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I think bigger storage is needed, apps that loads of seperate memory, more tuners, wifi in the box to get rid of power like adapters, access recorded content on the move via 4g wifi and downloads

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

I'm one of those, denphone! More channels, more Catch Up TV and Box Sets, extra sports content. That's just the start.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

As a former Virgin customer, now with SKY, there's a few things that would tempt me back... and they are pretty basic. A fast running PVR, Amazon Instant Video plus some of the missing channels. As a boxing fan Virgin Media just isn't an option. I can't get Boxnation in HD, the PPV boxing on SKY Box Office is not in HD, can't get Spike TV which shows boxing plus I don't think Virgin have FOTV which shows 2 Golden Boy promotion events live each month for free. I'm not going to waste my breath mentioning the other SKY basic channel...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Dynamic EPG so when there are last minute changes to programme times they still record correctly

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

So far

Well I think a dynamic EPG is not much to ask for.

If virgin customers are paying same or more for box office events and box action they deserve HD.

I think spike is on freeview but not on virgin that is shocking.

Sky Atlantic I hear was very overpriced, virgin said the channel was valued lower than the price and sky knew that.

I think bigger storage is needed,

Apps that loads of seperate memory,

More tuners,

Wifi in the box to get rid of power line adapters, Access recorded content on the move via 4g not just wifi for streaming and downloads.

Interesting

Thanks. That makes sense, I hadn't heard anyone mentioning it would be in 4K.
