"Quest's diversification into sport follows Discovery's acquisition of a majority shareholding in Eurosport earlier this year, with the media group reportedly eager to increase its sports presence in the UK. In June, the Swedish FIM Speedway Grand Prix was carried on Quest instead of British Eurosport."

Lol, what delicious irony. Sky Sports News being moved to Sky channel 401. Who would have thought? Looks like Sky and their wonderful channel listings have become just as stupid as VMs. Guess we do indeed now know why VM have done it, looks like Sky wanted them to.

Good grief! If a channel number change from 405 to 401 is a headline change, the new studio will have been hyped up to be something it really is not!

---------- Post added at 12:35 ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 ----------

If this is true, I am disappointed. To my mind, they should be using ITV2 for the best repeated programmes of the week, new original programming, films and perhaps some older stuff thrown in. It should continue to be regarded as their second main channel. If it's going to become another 'Comedy Central' then that is a big waste of an opportunity to improve ITV's reputation.

ITV 3 should continue to show dramas, most of them of the older variety from 3+ years ago is fine (I watched Jericho on ITV 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it), and ITV 4 could be used for programmes of other genres such as sport.

The way things are going, ITV1 and ITV Encore will be the only channels ever used in our household (although ITV Be might be of interest to my wife!).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Why are itv launching two more channels then the quality of itv 2-4 is so poor.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

The sad fact is that the majority of the British people are content to watch hours and hours of bilge. You can't blame the TV companies for capitalising on this as such programmes are a lot cheaper to make and to purchese.

However, you would have thought the likes of ITV would have more self respect than to reduce all its channels except ITV1 and ITV Encore to this level of bad taste.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

I think if you took out all the TV that is rubbish, we wouldn't Need 3/4 of the channels available.

Apparently ITV Be is at the request of advertisers whilost ITV Encore is designed to tap another revenue stream - subscription TV. Short answer is that by launching these channels, ITV will make more money than by not launching them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Firstly not moaning criticising and tru tv seriously,there are far better channels vm continue to ignore.if anything justifies me downgrading vm tv now think I go and watch universal hd ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

So what channels can VM launch Howard? Excluding HD variants and the vastly over-rated SA, please do enlighten me as to which wonderful channels we are missing out on?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Agreed Harry, not much left... we are just about there!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Indeed we are Doug but alas the doomsayers are still not happy.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

No disrespect Harry but the hd variants are a must universal hd especially is past a joke how long vm have waited for that,this overrated sa really does make me laugh thou it has some of the best shows to grace our shores from the us ie,game of thrones,banshee,veep,true detectives,nurse jackie,blue bloods and penny dreadfull just to name a few.Granted it's not a channel I watch everyday but at the moment I am watching it more than sky 1.
Everybody has there own opinions personally do not watch sd channels only hd my epg on my sky box and TiVo only show favourite channels which are hd channels only ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Everyone indeed has their opinions Howard and I fail to see how any channel not currently on VM can be "past a joke".

I was missing Sky Arts 2 HD for some while but the alternative of a dish simply wasn't on. Then lo and behold the HD channel was negotiated on and added to the channel list. I was lucky. Perhaps this channel you want will come too but until then it is give up on VM or watch the SD version or do not watch it at all. Sadly those are the only options.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

I also am a HD nut...Everything I watch and Record I look for the HD version first.
I agree that they are a must, just to improve the amount of HD channels available on VM. I know not all channels appeal to everyone and that's why there is such a vast choice available to us, but everyone should be able to watch what they want in HD ;)

If VM could target all the HD variants that we don't have, but still only be missing Sky Atlantic, that could push them above Sky, especially on top of the channels they have managed to acquire so far.

I'm not moaning, because what we have is fantastic, just from a personal point of view, this could push them even closer and maybe beyond Sky in terms of what channels and especially the HD content that we can watch.

The more HD the better...until 4K comes along :td: hahaha sorry guys.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

I want Scuzz as there isn't enough metal on VM

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Great post,ex actually how I feel but worded better ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

No offence taken mate, its all about opinions on here. Yeah, the HD channels will be nice, but if VM are not allowed to have them yet (they may be still be exclusive to Sky - I have seen no info to say if they are or are not), there is nothing they can do. The cost of the channels might be deemed too high as well. Thankfully, the only programs I have watched and enjoyed in the past on Universal are available on other HD channels, so if I choose to watch the odd episode now and again I can watch them in HD. As such, I can live without it. The sooner Nat Geo Wild HD gets here though, the better.

In all honesty, I have tried GOT twice now and I still find it very boring. I have started on the books and they are far superior. I watched Banshee and by the end, I could take it or leave it. The end was pretty predictable in my eyes, and I don't know where they can take the show in the second series. The main characters are still going to try and stay alive and stop Rabbit killing them. The cop will try and hide his true identity, and kill who ever he needs to. The only other option they have is if the cop and his girlfriend/Rabbits daughter teams up with Rabbit and they try and take control of the town. Either way, the show will just revolve around sex, alcohol and lots of fighting. I wont lose no sleep by not seeing it.

I must admit though True Detective (rented via lovefilm) was excellent and I have ordered Blue Bloods as well, based on friends recommendations. Penny Dreadful's premise seems ludicrous to me, and if it's adverts are anything to go by, Veep is certainly not for me. I don't know much about the rest of the programs because I am really not bothered by them.

As for Sky 1, I think the last time I even looked at that channel was when Banshee was on it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

TRUtv isn't as bad as people think it is, it has shows such as Operation repo and shows true story movies too, also they are working to brink uk programmes to the uk and some new dramas, give it a chance before slating it.
Then again i can't really talk lol as i dropped vm and Sky tv awhile ago and am more than happy with on demand via netflix and various other sources lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

It could be something to do with an exclusivity period as VM prides itself on having HD at no extra cost. Maybe Sky know this and wanted to keep those HD variants for themselves until VM can dive in and get them all :)

It would be funny if we end up with all HD variants and people start leaving Sky for VM. It can't be just Sky Atlantic that keeps the customers.

If that does start to happen, Sky will need to maximise revenue from Atlantic hopefully offering it to VM :D of course this is all my own thoughts and I don't mind being ripped to shreds lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

No it really isn't any exclusivity for the majority of HD variants the only exclusives to Sky are Sky Atlantic HD and ITV Encore HD. Do a bit of digging and you'll find most of the other HD variants are available on BT TV or UPC Ireland.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

You obviously have several sources - I wonder if you might be able to grade them on the basis of past accuracy? You know, something like "a source who has been 80% accurate about 15 things" or similar.

At the moment the only thing I can say is that when you say "rumour poster" I assume that means somebody who doesn't work for Virgin, but that doesn't give any other indication of whether they're worth listening to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Agreed Den and the facts stack up... (Source: Broadcast Magazine)


Viewers watched an average of 98.5% of TV via a television set in 2013, down 0.3% from the previous year, according to research from commercial TV body Thinkbox.


Total daily viewing of linear TV in the UK was pegged at an average of 3 hours 55 minutes per person in 2013, according to the Barb-backed study, around nine minutes less than in 2012. The slight dip has been caused by the lack of significant sporting events over the previous 12 months.

Viewers watched an average of 3 minutes 30 seconds of the broadcasters’ VoD services per day via tablets, mobiles and laptops – equivalent to three 30-minute shows each month. Accounting for 1.5% of overall viewing, this was slightly up from the 3 minutes per day (1%) average recorded in 2012.

Just under 89% of linear TV was watched live, rather than time-shifted, compared to 90% the previous year. In the estimated 60% of homes which have TV recorders this figure was pegged at 83.6%, down from 84.4% in 2012.

Thinkbox claimed that the average viewers watched 47 ads per day at normal speed, up 1.6% from 2012.

Chief executive Lindsey Clay said that the research showed that viewing via the primary TV set was holding up well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

It's not a Sky Europe channel, it's uniting all the European Sky broadcast platforms. Italy and Germany certainly have Sky. Any others?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Me too.

Someone will have the answer.:confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Its a combined satellite business which will be in the UK , Germany and Italy rather than a channel.
Murdochs 21st Century Fox own 100% of Sky Italia and 57% of Sky Deutschland , BSKYB (UK) will buy these meaning 21st Century Fox will make a tidy sum leaving Mr Murdoch with his 39% (current BSKYB holding) in the then formed Sky Europe hope that makes sense.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Got it.
Basically he's made loads of dosh because he is the major shareholder an all of these companies.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
 

Good summary, I would add that Murdoch does not own 21st Century Fox himself but he does own 40% of the voting shares. The company is listed in New York and like most listed companies most of its shareholders are financial institutions (pension funds, insurance companies, unit trusts etc). It's his large number of voting shares that gives the impression that it's his company.

---------- Post added at 20:34 ---------- Previous post was at 20:26 ----------

Key thing is he's grown his companies and most have been very successful. Just being a shareholder himself in these companies would not guarantee success - he's used his management skills. Think about how Sky has grown over the years - this has been reflected elsewhere. He's made bold decisions with Sky and with his newspapers, eg by taking on and beating the print unions. We may not like all of his methods and politics but he's been undeniably good news for his shareholders - most of whom are pension funds and insurers.
