It's ITV Encore, I'm afraid!

The new All 4 digital service which replaces 4OD commences on 30 March.

It's billed as coming to set top boxes later in the year, so hopefully it will be on TIVO boxes in the not too distant future.

Channel 4 to drop 4oD for digital service All 4


Channel 4 is dropping its catch-up service 4oD for a new online destination called All 4, which will host all of Channel 4's linear channels, digital content and services.

The All 4 brand will replace the eight year old 4oD brand on all platforms from the end of the first quarter, 2015.

The digital interface will archive Channel 4 content into three categories – On Demand (past), Now (present) and On Soon (future).

On Demand will house all of Channel 4’s catch up content and its archive – integrating all available programme related information such as cast interviews and galleries with on-demand content for the first time.

Now will be where viewers can watch live broadcasts from all Channel 4’s channels and engage with a range of content experiences which are of-the-moment – e.g. interactive content formats, news clips, short form videos and social media feeds.

On Soon will showcase new programme clips and promos allowing viewers to set reminders and alerts for future shows to drive awareness of upcoming content – and watch a selection of exclusive episode premieres before their linear TV broadcast.

All 4 will launch initially on PC and iOS devices before being extended to other digital platforms across 2015.

Channel 4’s newly launched ‘Shorts’ programmes will be tightly integrated across all three states, with Shorts additionally available in a dedicated Shorts hub.

Drawing on Channel 4’s database of more than 11 million viewers (which now includes 1 in 2 of all 16-34 year olds in the UK), All 4 promises to surface an increasingly bespoke set of content and related experiences for viewers.

David Abraham, chief executive of Channel 4, said: "Having been a pioneer of VoD services in the UK, we think the future of TV viewing lies not with either linear or on-demand, but a creative and visual integration of the two worlds, blending the strengths of both into a single brand.

"We believe All 4 will deliver the most advanced broadcaster response to changing viewer behavior in the digital age, and will help ensure that our content portfolio remains an important, valued part of viewers’ TV consumption for decades to come."

Keith Underwood, director of strategy and technology at Channel 4, added: "We want to evolve our digital estate to reinforce the online association with our linear channel brands and to provide a broader range of content experiences in an increasingly personalised manner.

"This is a significant change programme which will be delivered iteratively over the next year."

Media Boy HQ has seen new information that the number of channels testing on Virgin Media right now has gone up.

We cant reveal the numbers yet as they are testing under "V0--".

All we can confirmed that more than two channels are set to launch.

This is normally me before my coffee :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
 

That's normally me after my coffee.

Anyway, hopefully VM will get the updated All4 system ASAP and yey ITV Encore!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
 

MB would these additional channels be on that list of potential channels??? or is there a wild card potentially??

Btw what on earth was going on about these threads being closed? Someone PM me i missed lots by the looks of it.

Love to see Universal HD being added to the xl pack

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1
 

Why obviously? I don't think EE's new set top box is, the cost of the hardware to run 3840x2160@60fos with hevc and wp9 decoding isn't going to be cheap for a while, if Sky launch a box with this capability it will be for a decent upfront cost and subscription fee, can't see VM going this route yet, a TiVo with 4 tuners is more likely.

That's not forthcoming from what l hear.
