I found on Saturday that Virgin Media are still offering Baby TV as an add on channel via 'TV Channel upgrade' on V Boxes.

I believe that Netflix will be offered on a 1 year contract, with the first 6 months free. Of course, this looks to be a better deal than it is as one pays nothing initially. In reality it is a 50% off one year deal.

Nobody I've asked knows anything at all about Baby TV going into XL. I think we can put this down to being a rumour without foundation ;)

New Channel Rumour:

Chello media/CBS are rumoured as looking to launch a HD channel. It will combine the best of Horror Channel, CBS Reality, CBS Drama and CBS Action into one channel in glorious HD.

Cheapskates :D I think that this will probably be FTA on all the other platforms, so I wonder which package VM will put it in? (M currently gives you channels 1 to 5 and M+ gives you 1 to 5 and Film 4).

Premier Sports Rumour:

An Rumour poster has told me tonight Premier Sports have been in talks again with Virgin Media but it looks like Premier Sports will be coming as a standalone channel. No confirmed launch date.

That ties in with what I was told previously. With these two reports, what Premier Sports have put on their social media sites and what Technix has said, I think that the future is looking rosy for those that want Premier Sports (and the Parliamentary Rugby Committee or whatever they're called :D).

I wonder if this improved offer by VM will mean a reduction in the standalone subscription charge? How much is it on Sky?

I honestly don't know what you're talking about here. I had to go back and re read your post giving the information about Premier Sport. In it you suggest that Virgin are attempting to appease mps, plural.

Since then, one person has argued that there is really only one mp involved, and another has suggested that said mp really won't hold the sort of sway required to make a difference in these specific circumstances. In both instances you have exercised your right to reply.

Am I missing something?

There have been instances where people have been kind enough to post information that they have learned about possible forthcoming channels and been met by nothing short of rudeness and/or posts that take the thread off topic.

Picking holes in such posts and bringing up matters that are not part of the salient point of the post in question both disrupts the thread and puts people off from bothering to share the information they have.

There was some disagreement as to whether rumours should be posted in here, but that was sorted out a good few pages ago :)

Have you checked your apps to see if Netflix is now there? Could be they have started updating all the network ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.

Apps has actually gone down to 23 items on my Tivo.
In any case,would there not be a message from Virgin Media telling customers to leave their box in standby before the update?

Hmmm, Plymouth runs off Newton Abbot but no Netflix here as far as I can see? Guessing it's just Exeter and not the whole area running off the head end.

I am the opposite, I want it on as many devices as possible so am not restricted to viewing it in front of one TV.

In another room I have a PS3 set up, I could use that.

We also have a Smart TV upstairs, I could use that.

Along with another TiVo in another room, I could use that too.

And then there is the mobile devices such as my tablet or laptop.

I believe you can have up to 6 registered devices per account, which is great and certainly alot more realistic than VM's TV Anywhere service where you can only have 2 devices per household.

I like the flexibility of having content across a range of devices, but (and this I think is what he meant), I don't want to have to connect loads of devices to my tv in order to watch content from a range of sources. That's why I'm looking forward to Netflix coming to TiVo, even though I have a laptop, tablet, phone and console I could already be watching it on if I wanted.
