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

This is Part 3. Ive copied out the last known major post.

Please note carefully, this thread is for information on VM-TV services.

It is not somewhere for petty arguments and whinging. Keep it that way.

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

Indeed, and I think we should start this thread for thanking MB for all of his excellent work over the years. I, for one, appreciate the information he finds out for us regarding VM's TV platform.

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

well said keep up good work MB

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

Yes Media Boy has always done a excellent job, keep it up MB.

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

Keep up the good work media boy, you`re efforts are well appreciated.
Lets hope this new thread does not descend into chaos.

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

All we want is for everybody to comment and have opinions on things coming soon.

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

Unfortunately, some people seem to define "comment" as repeatedly stating "why don't we have anything new" every day or so.

This thread will not descend into that behaviour.

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

Precisely.

There are plenty of other threads people can have their whinges in, keep this on topic please.

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

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

Hope this is ok to post here as it concerns VM future 3D plans

We speak to Kevin O’Neil, Head of On-Demand Development at Virgin Media.

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

MB can you remind us what sports where phase two of SKY Sports red button?

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

Coming in August.

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

As far as I know Football will be added by August 1st 2011.

But I have got no info on when TiVo users will get the Red Button on Sky Sports.

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

Not a lot going on it seems to be just tivo this tivo that what about people who have'nt got tivo or hd we seem to be forgot about

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

Yes it would be nice to have something coming soon , ah well we can hope.

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

All MTV channels to receive the US logo and go widescreen and MTVNHD will rebrand as MTV Live HD

http://www.mediabg.ru/en/news/40/

To see the logos you must view in Russian below
http://www.mediabg.ru/ru/news/40/

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

It's about time they went widescreen, especially for content on the main MTV channel where they don't actually show music videos anymore. I hope it applies to Viva as well

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

The logo's looks the same to me.

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

I thought that but they are slightly different.

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

It only mentions that the logo is going 16:9 not the content. I know it is implied but it seemed strange that they only mentioned the logo?

Also why rename MTVHD to MTVHD Live when it won't just play live stuff?

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

We'll have to see however I have read somewhere else about MTV going widescreen but I can't find it yet.

Found this about MTV Germany and France being widescreen so it would appear to be right about the UK channels going widescreen in the UK.

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

Virgin Media TV News update: CBS Reality FREE to all L Package viewers in June.

From June 1st Xplicit XXX is being withdrawn and XXX Mums will be launched in its place (Information will be seen on channel 484).

Also CBS Reality will be added to the L TV pack from 6am on Wednesday 1st June straight through to 6am Monday 1st July.

CBS Reality is only on the the XL TV pack right now.

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

Bring back MTV Classic and more channels please virgin

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

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

Well done to VM for the latest channel they provided for me. Without BBC Alba I wouldn't have been able to watch the Scottish Junior Cup Final today.

The excitement of the ideal final Barca V Man Utd followed the next day by Auchinleck V Musselburgh..... If Carlsberg did contrasts in footballing ability;)

Well done to Auchinleck Talbot 2-1 in extra time. :D

There is a serious point to this. In the 4 channel days of TV when the newspapers were suggesting the possibilities of hundreds of Channels available via satellite or cable, the picture that was painted was of many more localised channels being available. It hasn't really happened that way has it.:(

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

Glad you are enjoying your new channel:D We down here are still waiting for our next one:erm: Glad you got to see the match and I bet it was a good one:D

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

XXX Mums is coming on Wednesday (Information will be on Channel 484.):D

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

any new about ESPN2 and when it coing to vtv ?

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

The reason I switched to VM!

I'm quite pleased with the choice of channels atm. Just could do with Sky Atlantic - Ho Hum!

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

No update in months.

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

It won't come until they have enough sport to warrant it.

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

thanks mate

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

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: Current TV to be XL only from next week.

From Tuesday 7th June at 6am non XL Package viewers will lose Current TV from they lineup.

NOTES:

1) Current TV is broadcasting right now to viewers on M+, L and XL on Channel 155.
2) From June 7th only XL viewers will get this channel.

=== Ask Media Boy ===
Q: WHY IS VIRGIN MEDIA REMOVING CURRENT TV FROM MY PACKAGE?
A: I do not know - I think Virgin has sign an new deal with Current TV and maybe they ask Virgin to move them to the XL Pack.

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

Sorry MB any news about Premier Sports coming to VM? Im really interested in that channel for work.
Thanks for your great support to this forum!

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

No news on Premier Sports coming to Virgin Media at my end. But someone posted on Cable Forum (I think the best web site on the web) that Premier Sports was meeting with Virgin Media but that was weeks ago.

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

I know that it has been removed from SKY ITALIA due to the owners speaking out against SKY. They could be looking to re-coup the money :confused:

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

Found this below , could this mean a new BBC HD channel , I know this is satellite specific but do the VM BBC feeds come off satellite ?


http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcintern....html#comments

Speculation on DS says it could be used for Wimbledon finals in 3D short term.

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

VM gets it's BBC HD channels feed direct via fibre, not satellite.

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

Right wasn't sure of that , I think if the Wimbledon Finals are shown on the BBC HD channel in 3D this should be available on all platforms though.

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

this there any dated on TiVo when it will get the red button i am thinking off geting one thanks .

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

No firm date

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

Just a thought, but if you have a TV with Freeview, which most come with now, could you not use the TV's tuner for red button things until it gets added to Tivo?

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

This document suggests More4 will go HD this year

http://www.channel4.com/media/docume...veryFormat.pdf

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

Interesting but it will still come back to whether Virgin will have it or it will just go on Sky.

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

Surely there would a strong chance don't forget VM carry C4 HD , E4 HD and Film Four HD were Sky only carry the first two.

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

Possibly but remember we are still awaiting ITV 2-3-4 on HD.

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

BBC have to make all broadcasts available on all compatible platforms, they can't favour one of the other they must stay impartial.

---------- Post added at 17:00 ---------- Previous post was at 16:59 ----------

E4 HD launched on $ky before Virgin, as did CH4 HD (i think!!)

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

Yes the BBC has a responsibility to all licence payers , and the point I was making re C4 HD channels is that they are all currently on VM so if More4 HD did launch I would expect it to be on VM .

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

You just have to look at the output of each channel to show which is the better broadcaster. C4 won't screw customers out of HD because all the resources are being burned away in throwaway dramas while complaining about a lack of funds just for Sky to turn up with the wheelbarrows full of it.

Hopefully this will mean HD on 4oD will hurry up as well, nice to know a broadcaster other than the BBC are concerned about getting stuff in High Def.

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

No list update this week.

Here is the only info I have been told this week:

-CBS Reality is now free to all L TV Package viewers until July 1st on Virgin Channel 148.
-From Tuesday Current TV is moving from the M+ TV Package to the XL TV Package on Virgin Channel 155.

Tomorrow at 6am we will be saying goodbye to Eurosport 3D on Virgin Channel 523,

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

ITV 3D channel ?

Someone is claiming on DS that this will be coming to VM later this year , not sure if it's credible info or not.

More news for any boxing fans on this forum. The British and Commonwealth Heavyweight title fight between Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury on the 23rd July will be broadcast on Channel 5. It's great news for British boxing fans who don't subscribe to SKY Sports, it's the first live boxing broadcast on a terrestrial channel in over 1 year.

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

Telegraph.co.uk: Lord Patten vows to save the World Service from cuts (But Live Sports events and BBC Three or BBC Four may get axes).

Lord Patten said the corporation will "not be the same" after it introduces changes later this year as part of a cost-saving initiative to cut 20 per cent from its budget.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/t...from-cuts.html

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

Live sports events to get the axe. Just what Murdoch wants. That will be more pay off from politicians for his support at the last election.

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

Out of interest, does VM have any plans to add BBC2 Scotland, BBC2 Wales and BBC2 NI? It has always seemed odd that VM provides BBC1 Scot, Wales and NI but not BBC2 Scot, Wales and NI.

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

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

I have no plans on Virgin Media launching Local BBC Two Channels (outside Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland) any time soon.

Pick TV +1 and Quest +1 is not launching on Virgin any time soon.

Just before anyone ask no channels are launching on Virgin Media that I know of.

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

Really to launch on Freeview and may move to the TV Size M+ Pack on Virgin in August.

Reaily is to launch on Freeview on August 2nd so I think Virgin Media will move Really to the M+ pack from that date.

Infomation on Really:
1) Really broadcasts on Virgin Channel 267 right now.
2) Really is on the L and XL packages of Virgin Media.

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

Discovery HD will cease to be separately from the 30th of June, 2011. It will be 100% simulcast with the Discovery Channel from 1th of July.

Will this be only on normal boxes or will it also be on TiVo boxes?

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

It will be normal boxes only. Not TiVo.

Discovery to axe ''Home & Health'' for some ''TLC''?

In Holland from July 2011 Discovery will axe Discovery Home & Health to make way for TLC to launch in Holland.

So when TLC cames to the UK I think they will do the same thing.

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

I hope not! My wife loves that channel! Let's just have them both, shall we?!

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

New channels on way???

I see that my ''Total Channels'' has gone up by FOUR in my area since 10.30am today.

I do not know anything more (at time of posting) but I think it maybe:

-Virgin Media only testing them out to see if they work fine.
-Or (and it the big or) CBS missing channels are set to launch soon - OR some other channels are coming.

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

There are more (HD & SD)

I had this information confirmed to me yesterday. I was also told by CS that now TiVo is up and running the main priority is increasing the channels. target for VM is 50 HD channels by the end of the year.

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

I was told that more HD content will be added soon when I rang up to discuss options regarding the increase in the telephone line rental. However, the agent was not either willing or able to say whether this new HD content will new on-demand content or whether it will be new channels.

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

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

Let's hope most of this is accurate. If so it's very good news for sports fans like me. Been waiting a long time for Premier Sports (only channel in UK to show live Nascar) and EPSN America in HD will be great.

More HD channels to launch in July?

I was in the Virgin store today and picked up their July edition of the Buyer's Guide. I noticed on page 10 "More channels than you can shake your remote at" that the following HD channels are listed:

CNBC HD
ITV4 + 1 HD
MTV Hits HD

Also as someone pointed out earlier this week, Virgin are also suggesting here that they offer some interesting HD channels:

http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-tv.html

The Spectacular HD section includes Nat Geo Wild HD and SKY2 HD.

Does anyone know if any of these channels are coming soon or are Virgin being either careless or simply lying to us about the channels they provide?

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

Careless. They had the US FX HD logo up for nearly a year before changing it to the UK one.

EDIT: In fact on the slider they still have the US logo.

Perhaps if the Mods hadn't been so rigid and ridiculous in the modding of this thread there wouldn't have had to have been a very similar second thread created and perchance there would be no confusion as to what should be posted where... just a thought!

Sounds like a good idea!
If it goes out of control, why not make a sticky for the both threads.
Although it's a higher presence on the list of threads, it would help people see the two?

Will this end up on VM , Disney Channel HD to launch on Sky.
