People need to look at these and consider what they think are missing , I think VM need to strengthen their Documentary offering and their are also no HD channels in the kids genre or News/sports news.

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

Certainly sir we at virgin would like to inform you that more HD is "coming soon"!!:LOL::LOL:;)

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

Is that this year or sometime in the yet to be determined future;):LOL::LOL:

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

I'm starting to think what my friend told me is true:

For broadband = Virgin

For Sky = TV

Even if works out dearer having separate packages at other providers.

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

ash88uk, I agree with you, this is what l have.

I decide each year to choose between the two, I want channels that l like, entertainment, drama, history and sport, service, quality of products, this is what you get with Sky if channels come out, they go straight onto Sky, a channel only leaves Sky if they fail to produce the cash which is unlikely, So its Sky for TV

Phone and Broadband Yes VM, l have had one problem with this since l have been with VM, and l have been with them since Cable Corporation days (the phone first).

But each year l make the same choice, Until VM get there act together, then its will remain the same.

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

Yes in the year 2050.

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

This is one of the reasons I got freesat, just got so fed up with waiting for virgin to add the most basic of channels. I've got vm tv xl

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

It`s so easy for Virgin to say `new channels/HD are coming soon`because that could literally mean anytime. They should say `new channels/HD will be added before.....(insert a date).....subject to negotiations`. Then if they don`t deliver customers can complain.

---------- Post added at 14:24 ---------- Previous post was at 14:22 ----------

Some great channels on Freesat,CBS Drama,Action,Movies For Men,to name just a few. One of the reasons I also got Freesat.

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

Also channels such as The Food Network (now also on Freeview), BET, numerous music channels such as the Chart Show (CSC Media) music channels, and the BBC English regions and BBC2 national regions are available on Freesat but not on Virgin Media.

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

There are some things I don't think will every come to Virgin. The TV regions for one. The only reason they are on Sky/Freesat is because they are all broadcast from the same satellite, it's only the setup that sets which one you get

Virgin only broadcast the channels needed from each headend, so you'll only get the region you live in

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

Unfortunately I came to realise a long time ago that waiting for virgin to launch new channels was like waiting to win the lottery! it ain't gonna happen! not in our lifetime anyways. Unlike sky virgin do get to choose and pick what channels appear on their platform, when and for how long. They have long and complicated numerous channel contracts with different providers.
Its all well that virgin try and include as many channels as they can under the 'xl' umbrella but to what expense? I do believe they need to start charging an hd subscription because that is the only way vm subscribers would have access to at least somewhere near what sky has.
If you want tivo, true vod and supreme internet vm its gotta be, but for linear channel choice its gotta be mr murdoch!:dozey:

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

I've rang Premier Sports this lunchtime (0871 663 9000) and the guy on there told me for definate that they will be launching on Virgin Media on Wednesday 10th August, so watch this space I guess.

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

If they're subsidized I would probably get it but £8 (same price as ESPN) is probably a bit much on it own.

Good to hear its launching though :)

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

Well we won't know for sure what is happening until VM do a press release.

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

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

I accept that but I don't see why the regional news for the various BBC regional news and current programmes cannot be made available within the the BBC on demand section. After all, all the London, Scotland, Wales and NI regional programmes are available on demand so why not the English regional news programmes?


---------- Post added at 17:49 ---------- Previous post was at 17:47 ----------

Definately.

We shall see what happens on Aug 10 but I won't hold my breath.

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

You cannot get regional programmes through the iPlayer with Virgin. You can only get them if you use the online iPlayer on the BBC website.

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

Maybe true in terms of regional news but not accurate when it comes to regional programmes.. BBC2 Ireland broadcast highlights of the boxing match between Brian Magee and Lucian Bute about 4 months ago. It was only televised in Ireland however I managed to watch the show the following day in Scotland on iPlayer via Virgin.

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

Indeed. Programming shown only in the national regions is available on the VM version of the BBC iPlayer, including the national BBC2 channels which are not available on VM apart from in those specific countries, as is all London regional programming.

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

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

if this is true. would that mean we would get Watch HD , Dave HD , Alibi HD , Eden HD and Good Food HD.

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

If it's the same deal then I would say yes.

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

I have also had an email from Neil Berketts office as I also asked about the uktv hd channels and the email confirmed Virgin will be having them it did not however confirm launch date (As Virgin are still in discussion with UKTV over timings etc) only to say hopefully same time as Sky or if not soon after.

It does not look like cartoon network hd, disney hd however will be coming soon but the email did state discussions are ongoing with various HD channel owners

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

i can't say i'm interested in any of those channels to be honest :P

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

Because it's a business, people need to get paid and budgets need to be considered.

---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 16:31 ----------

It's also worth considering that there is a finite amount of money to spend on new channels and the apparent dip in new channels may have something to do with VM earmarking some of it for Sky Atlantic HD. Lets face it that's at the top of there new channel list.

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

Yeah I do agree it just gets a bit frustrating sometimes. I admit progress is being made but it is a slow process due to cost, network capacity (as told to me yesterday in a email form virgins executive team) contracts being drawn up etc.

I have never had much patience though so even though I know discussions are taking place for me it is painfully slow from discussion to launch

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

I know they essentially only show repeats but those five channels cover nearly every genre except movies/sport. What TV do you watch?

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

Don't you suspect there are no discussions? How long can this tired old line be dragged out? Add this to the vague 4 or 5 word replies to your e mails that that Berkett (or whatever his name is) guy at Virgin gives you, it really doesn't look good for Virgin tv.

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

Here is a quote from the email I received " By way of explanation, it's not always possible for us to carry every channel we might want due to capacity and commercial considerations. We do constantly review and evolve the channels "

Vague for sure in reply to Henkesghost. I had to really push for a detailed reply. As my first reply was "were on it." The final email I had had a lot more detail which I have been quoting from.

It did say Dave, Alibi and Watch hd would be on Virgin but did not say when only hopefully same time as Sky but this is still in discussion with UKTV

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

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

Even I have gone beyond petty squabbling and leg pulling on here (for now;)). Really is getting ridiculous re Virgin doing something about the glaring gaps in their channel line up both HD and SD, even Freesat have some decent stuff that Virgin don't carry. Didn't someone say earlier that they had received a reply from Virgin stating space was an issue too? Very worrying I would have thought. Really wouldn't surprise me if Virgin were to bow out as a Tv platform in the next couple of years. They certainly have not moved in the past 12 months to enhance it. Beyond poor now, shame really.

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

well lets hope it is the next few months as a few months usually can mean a few years until we get it.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

You know exactly where I mean. Virgin are now guilty of huge neglect. They either cannot of will not provide any more HD or SD channels. It's a year bud a year! Don't bother with the negotiations line, or in the next few months line, or its Sky's fault blah blah. What about the last 12 months?

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

Can I just add as this is really starting to get me down? If they add them they add them, If they do not add them just move. It is really starting to get repetitive on here now.

You know what? You lot should be thanking me:D . Remember when the authorities stated the thread was only for posting what was coming soon? Yeah, it was blank, not a freakin thing on it.

Yes it would be but it has gone for a change to the dark side and that is why most the people that used to post on here do not post anymore? I have just dipped back on to this thread for a small period of time. It is getting way to repetitive with all the ? all the time:mad:

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

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

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

Yes i understand this but all companies try to strive to get the best for the customers as if they do not the customers will walk? So for some of the smaller companies e.g VM against SKY it will take a lot longer as they do not have the financial power of the other? As they are able to throw the money at the channel owners to get them.

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

Its a nationwide company who don't need to tell you if/when channels are coming etc. You sign up on the premise you get what they are currently offering for the length of your contract, if at the end of that a rival is offering what you want then you move there.

Its just like swapping your insurance everytime it expires for the best deal. They don't tell you that in 6 month you'll have to pay £7 a month if you want to upgrade to AA instant breakdown instead of regular breakdown recovery, they have no obligation to.

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

l get your point but better communication would go a long way in stopping criticism of their TV platform and it would appease a lot of customers.

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

Then no doubt there TV customers will dwindle even further by the time the next set of figures are released, unless they finally come up with the channels people want.

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

Virgin are the sort of company that will do things in time when its right for them, Sky are the sort of company that are at the front of the queue with their hands outstretched shouting 'Gimme!' regardless of what it is and what the consequences are.

Virgin are a different class of TV supplier and in all honesty should be compared more to the likes of BT (also noting that they both own internet and phone networks) instead of Sky. If it were still Telewest or NTL I think it would have probably folded.

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

Virgin are not as open as Sky (no pun intended there)

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

Fair comment.
VM seem to have thrown all there money at TiVo on the TV side which means they have neglected the content side of the TV platform. Surely a moor balanced approach would have been more beneficial and placated customers like me,

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

Totally agree with some of your points however the real problem is the lack of communication from Virgin. Sure they are not obliged to tell us everything they've got going on behind the scenes however their usage of the term coming soon is laughable.

Brand loyalty can be a big thing, and some people will never go to SKY, however brand loyalty is being tested. SKY content wise just seem to be getting better and better all the time. Virgin are ahead tech wise but content wise SKY just keep moving further and further ahead. SKY Go and SKY Anytime+ are great additions for SKY. I suppose loyal Virgin customers are getting tired of hearing about what SKY are adding for their customers free of charge with a price freeze for the next 12 months. Loyal Virgin customers want to know what Virgin plan to offer, before their loyalty finally runs out.

I'm currently out of contract considering my options. I'm not interested in TiVo, only content. If Virgin can deliver Premier Sports, SKY Anytime and some new HD channels within the next 2 months then I'll happily stay. If nothing new comes soon then it's SKY for me. I want to remain a Virgin customer but Virgin are failing to supply what I demand.

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

The money has been spent on TiVo because it needed to be

Virgin couldn't continue indefinately with the current V box platform, it's old and eventually would become unsupported. So they needed to choose another one

However unlike Sky, choosing a new platform for Virgin is a lot more complaicated than just abandoning the old boxes/EPG and doing a new one. Therefore it's more expensive

---------- Post added at 21:40 ---------- Previous post was at 21:39 ----------

What you've just said makes me bash my head against the wall

Virgin don't pre-announce stuff = 'They don't tell their customers what is going on, they are rubbish'

Virgin pre-announce stuff = 'Haha, typical Virgin and their 'Coming Soon', they are rubbish'

And most of the use of 'Coming Soon' is actually on here, not from Virgin

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

Calm down Ben mate ( I'am the same as well)

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

I'd much rather Virgin try to give us a timescale if they are making an announcement. Rather than using the term Coming Soon, or something very similar, I'd much rather they used terminology along the lines of:

"Virgin Media today confirmed Good Food HD will launch within the next 3 months on it's award winning TV platform."

If something then happens which prevents the channel launching, it'd be good if Virgin would then release another announcement explaining the delay.

Maybe Virgin don't want to take this approach with their announcements, and I don't want to speak on behalf of anyone, however I'm sure most customers would appreciate this approach more than "Coming Soon".

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

I can understand where Chad is coming from eg "Sky Sports Red button" It has been promised for the start of the football season . We have had no up date as to whether it will launch and the season is upon us this weekend. Some how I doubt it will launch, but confirmation either way is the least customers deserve.

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

This is not just you but all the others as well? The staff are able to post what they are able to post. But all the time they are the first to get in the firing line. No wonder they do not post on here as much as they did, And I think that this is due to what they are allowed to say.

Never mind standing for consumer rights? I'am standing for the staff rights:)

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

I feel for Ben as he does his utmost on here for all of us and there NO need to tell him to calm down IMO!!! but alwaysabear does have a point, until it happens we never seem to get much info! How is it that SKY can say, this will be happening soon and then say this is happening on this date when all VM can give us is the favourite cmoing soon.

They are on the whole a great company but they are not so good about information.

For e.g. Premierhsip starts very soon, but no word on what Red button functionality we are getting... I asked VM Twitter if we would be getting Match Choice/Foorball first... they couldn't say.... WHAT? THIS close no-one can say yet if it's happening or not?? It just seems a bit backward!

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

I said "MATE" at the end of it as he is a MATE.


I understand all of this but if you do not like the service then move as I'am more than happy with what I pay for. If my opinions offend the get a grip? Most would do well to stop posting as all they seem to be doing is trying to endorse SKY.

RANT OVER!!!!!

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

Virgin seem to be more conservative with the money they have and hold out for a deal or until a point where customers are leaving where they'll pay the norm (I don't mean Sky Atlantic where Sky are obviously asking a high carriage fee to pay for the heavy investment they've put in).

They don't give timescales because the number of unknowns is countless. If there were delays you'd be annoyed that they delayed it so by not announcing anything specific until the day before they don't fallback on their promises.

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

We want a better TV service not go to Sky. You seem to be the one who gets offended when people criticise VM, you are fully entitled to your opinion as are the rest of us.

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

I was a Sky customer for 13 years and happy but left due the BS that they were giving near to the end. The reason that I get offended is because of the way the staff get replied to and also get slated as well. So no it is not due to VM at all I have some respect for people that are trying to help others?

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

I do not see any personal attacks in this thread, people are just saying about VM , if Ben chooses to defend explain what is his position is that is up to him and people are equally entitled to explain there reasons why they do not agree!

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

I give up as it is pointless, It is all a pile of ? No matter what people post now on this thread they seem to get headed off by the SKY brigade.

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

That's understandable. I was just posting what I'd prefer as a customer. I like having timescales, even if they do change.

---------- Post added at 22:37 ---------- Previous post was at 22:32 ----------

Just to clarify, in case I've misinterpreted your post or you've misinterpreted mine, I 100% respect staff on this site and what they post. I understand their hands are tied when it comes to info.

Ben presented a scenario were he feels Virgin are damned if they do and damned if they don't. I agree with his outlook and suggested an alternative announcement method that some Virgin customers may find more useful and customer friendly.

I was in no way trying to have a go at him. I was just stating what I'd like to see as a Virgin customer.

I'm sure Ben will let me know via PM if I've offended him.

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

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

...anway. I have no interest in going to Sky indeed my post states that I believe VM are a great company and no opinion "offends" so no more needed to be said on that point really.

But my broader point is valid. I don't understand how Sky is able to let their customers know in advance what services are coming and VM on the whole let us know,somtimes, only on the day it happens. They are not very good in the PR department.

I more than appreciate Ben, Spider, MB etc's posts here, as well they know.

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

I do agree that communication needs to be better, but then again Virgin may like the element of surprise? Take for example Channel 5 HD which arrived the same day as Sky.
Who knows? Dave, Really etc. may arrive the same day as Sky; but it looks like we will have to 'wait and see' :)

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

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

No. You have to wait and see like you do with everything in life that is out of your control.

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

JAMESEH, DDon't be bitter......Skry is just better for TV,accept it ad move on..You can always browse you Tivo menus if you're bored LMAO LOLOL,,Ohh thats funny:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

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

Depends on the customer's choice.
Sky can be better on the linear front, but Virgin certainly has an advantage with content delivery since they can host a on demand service without the download/buffer bit that Sky Anytime+ has.

Based on TiVo and hardware wise Virgin Media can do more based on recording since 3 channels can be recorded at once while an earlier recording is viewed, or 2 channels while watching a third. Don't see that on Sky.
Sky also does not promote content based on your show ratings.

Many people are happy with what's currently available on Virgin, but there are always people that want more.

TiVo is still in the early stage as a product of Virgin Media, and there is certainly more to come.

As I've said earlier, we will have to wait and see.
Also, no childish comments please as you have just demonstrated the last time I used that phrase.

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

Sure, Sky is better for TV channels at this moment but Virgin Media can correct that at any time they please by signing deals with those broadcasters. The infrastructure is in place for the future, unlike other providers who are lagging behind. Like BT who have a great service in BT Vision but then cripple it with a STB. Its TV over the internet, get access on all internet devices and you've got a winner.
