Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

vol 2 hopefully some good news on channels soon

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Not sure if this is true or not but i got told earlier that Liberty Global and AMC are in talks.
Only thing i can think of is it has something to do with AMC buying the CBS channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Again?

Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

I was a a party earlier this week & met some Virgin/liberty staff.

Spoke at length to them including about this forum. The strapline some up the comment on postings from an "insider " the last refers to if true ( the insider) then believing that it is real means ..... :rolleyes:

me I go with #2

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

Sorry but is it just me but that didn't make any sense and I couldn't understand the point you were trying to make?

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

Definitely not just you!

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

Is this your attempt at trolling because one word sums it up? - FAIL!

---------- Post added at 11:36 ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 ----------

That's probably what it is, just old news being told to me lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Viacom buys Channel 5.

a516 is reporting that Channel 5 has now been sold to Viacom.

Yep makes no sense

Media Boy Views on Viacom takeover of Channel 5.

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...m-do-with.html

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

Eh??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

It will be interesting to see how this one pans out. Will they just ship in all the content they already have and we see the back of some of the big dramas that seem to rate ok? Or will they build on the shows they have that rate well?

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

You drank too much.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Viacom to examine the possibility of making 5*, 5USA or both pay-tv Channels.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...Channel-5.html

Re: Liar, fantasist, or idiot
 

Sounds like you're still there :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

PMSL. His posts are going beyond trolling and attempting to show off how well off he is, to downright weird.

I certainly wouldn't pay any extra for the Channel 5 stable of offshoot channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

To be fair I think Viacom are just thinking about moving 5* and 5USA off Freeview and Freesat also putting them on higher packages like "L" or "XL" Packages on Virgin Media.

Like Sky did with Sky Sports News some years back.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I guess until we know what's in the channel(s), it's hard to judge their value. I imagine they would just be in M+.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

So does Channel 5 being taken over mean that they will stop showing American dramas like Person of Interest and NCIS? Hope not.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Not until they deals are up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Who knows but they've mucked about with Helix and cancelled The Walking Dead.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Viacom to increase Channel 5 budget.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

From Geordie Shore I guess it can only improve :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Yes one would hope it would improve MM but as we know that's not always the case.:omg::nono:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

surely not many watch that utter garbage

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Isn't that on MTV?

Edit. Viacom own MTV. Was confused for a bit there!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I hope it comes to Channel 5 as well as MTV. I love the show :)

---------- Post added at 09:42 ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 ----------

Yes

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Geordie Shore produced for MTV owned by Viacom , if this is the quality we can expect I'll give it a miss. Hopefully the new owners will give us some original UK content rather than be another channel focused on and full of overrated American shows.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Sorry, I've just edited my original post, hasn't originally understood the point you were making.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

what about the soaps like home and away and neighbours from down under.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I wonder if this will also mean CH5 HD moving to XL. It moved to subscription only on Sky a while ago.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Now that doesn't surprise me :D , remember I see what you record when you fill bug reports in and I've seen worse than that.;) :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Please expand, im sure all these people want to know what you have seen ;D

Jezza K doesnt count and i swear i have no idea who all them over 18 movies got on there :D :D

I have plenty :D :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Well they won't encourage me to watch it more with that strategy.:mad:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Maybe just me but I think that Viacom CEO look an wee bit like Robert Lindsay (From My Family).

---------- Post added at 12:38 ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 ----------

Sky Sports HD latest:

Someone else on Cable Forum did post in the past that more Sky Sports HD is set to launch on May 6th. (Media Boy HQ did not see that post).

My information guys say that more Sky Sports HD (Also some more Sky Channels) may launch on Virgin Media by mid-May.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Great if it happens but personally cant see it happening

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

@muppetman might be able to confirm this but i been told Sky1 is going to change to SKYUSA?
Surely someone is winding me up here?

Nope ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

And we often hear their daily message of "believe in better" but alas most of us know that is just pure ******** anyway.

And the other companies are just as bad as well one suspects so its not just a Sky problem.

Your right denphone all companies do it,sure virgin are just has bad

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

:Yikes::eeek:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

They have long term contracts and basically rely on UK finance. So unless viacom buy themselves out, I'm sure they will stay

Tuesday hope it will but cant see it

---------- Post added at 15:42 ---------- Previous post was at 15:40 ----------

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Maybe Liberty Global will announce on Tuesday if this will come to the UK?
"Horizon Buzz lets users see what’s trending, see the most recorded content on the UPC Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and catch a glimpse of the latest blockbuster movies airing on their favourite TV channels."

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I agree and nope :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Well spotted.

I would think that it will be a similar arrangement to Sky and Pick ie shown first on the pay channels and then repeated later on the FTA channel.

Hmmm, that's a very good point...

That looks very interesting, I wonder if we'll ever get this in the UK?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I can.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Still not confirmed if we will get more Sky Sports HD Coming from tomorrow.

But Virgin did launch Vintage on 'Easter Tuesday' last year.

Easter Tuesday means an day after Bank Holiday Easter Monday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

well we have to get our prayer mats out MB :LOL:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Or body bags :erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Aye sky sports HD will be good. but i genuinely do not know why people would pay extra for the HD sky sports then sky sports is already so blooming expensive. for 25 quid we should get a hug off rupert murdoch as well as sky sports in HD. A lot of you are in VIP and get it for free though which is fair enough. i should really look into VIP since i'm on XL for everything bar phone so would only be a few more quid i'd imagine??

Does MB know how long the BT sport contract is with virgin media? it surely wont continue in XL after it ends due to champions league rights?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

BT Sport deal is set to be up in Summer 2016.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

well we should get one of year of their champions league coverage! hopefully they'll have a red button service like sky sports which i have to say is quite delightful on tuesdays/wednesdays.

cheers pal :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

And don't BT's champions league deal start in 2015 MB?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

2015-2016 season

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Yes it does Den

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24879138

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Thanks Devil.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I don't think Easter can ever fall into May.

I presume you mean 'the first Tuesday in May'.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

By my reckoning Den ,

BT Sport joined VM XL TV in August 2013 on a 3 yr deal so the deal should expire August 2016.

The champions league on BT will start September 2015 with the final at the end of May 16 so the first season will be covered who knows after that.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Perhaps the first season might be covered MM but don't put your money on it as we don't know the finite details of their contract as there might be certain clauses in there for all we know.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Nothing to launch tomorrow according to my source nothing is pencilled in at all this week :( i'm hoping they are wrong.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

don't expect anything but was hoping

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Very true for instance we could see the launch of a new channel for champions league and Europa league games , its the same for those of us getting it with BT Broadband/Infinity I'm sure at some point a price will be introduced.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Thanks for info - The info I posted on Friday is now 90% not to happen.:Peaceman:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

no surprise really MB we been here many times before

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

l remember when Virgin and Sky signed the basics deal and not long afterwards Sky launched Sky Atlantic.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I agree lol but still going to hope that they will come lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Just been thinking Sky Sports 1 HD and Sky Sports 2 HD did launch in August 2010 so maybe the rest of the Sky Sports HD may launch anytime up to August 2014!

Technix who started this rumour is on the ball 80% of the time.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Could be as you know i did say in the past my source had said Summer 2014 for new channels so your theory would actually tie into that time slot.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

My take, for what it's worth, is that all might not be lost. I agree, the SS HD channels will not launch tomorrow.

BUT

Was it ever realistic to think they would? If they are to ever launch, those that pay the £7 HD charge will have to agree to an increase to £10 to keep VM in line with Sky. They'll have to opt in.

SO

Is it possible that the channels' availability may be announced tomorrow in advance of a real launch some weeks ahead?

Just a thought...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Strange question to ask - does anyone know IF we will get Atlantic

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Dave knows the answer to that.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Nope. No-one knows for 100% certain whether it is or is not coming to VM, or any other provider for that matter.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I think i added Skysports n movies pack in my druken state on Saturday lol. I don't remember asking for them but they're all active on my tv service lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Well, Liberty Global's results are due out tomorrow so then would be a good time to announce such a development. What else might they announce VM-wise tomorrow?
- Sale of ADSL customer base to BT/PlusNet, Sky or TalkTalk?
- Details of Smallworld rebranding.
- More details on LG-VM integration cost savings.
- Growth in revenue-per-customer but decrease in number of customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Mike Fries mentioned LG could start an OTT service of their own recently , personally can't see it being in the UK as its a somewhat crowded market but who knows ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

That channel was not on my list of channels that may launch by 2015 on Virgin Media.

See post one for more information.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

and so do you Den ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

I really do think a Smallworld brand will be axe by October (So to get start getting Smallworld viewers to move over to TiVo and other things).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Good call.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

they never announce to after launch on VM

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...d-play-package


Virgin Media is aiming to offer consumers a one-stop shop for services by launching what it claims is the UK's first "quad-play" packages – TV, broadband, landline phone and mobile – significantly upping the ante with rivals in the increasingly cut-throat battle in the telecommunications market.

Virgin Media will this week launch a range of new packages – with names such as the Big Kahuna and Big Bang – from as little as £30 a month marketed as the simplest way for customers to get all their household communications from one provider.

The launch of the first tranche of bundles, which are designed to be flexible and allow customers to bolt on options such as Sky's sport and movie channels, will be made available to Virgin Media's customers from this week.

Virgin Media has 3.7 million TV customers, 4.4 million broadband customers, 4.1 million landline users and 3 million on mobile contracts.

The company is aiming to leverage its impressive result to date of 66% of its customer base taking three products, BSkyB has so far managed to get 37% of its 10 million customers to take three of its products.

Virgin Media intends to start offering the new quad-play bundles to the wider market from the end of the month.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2
 

Yes, But Old Boy, does this mean that this new deal is for current customers, NOT for new customers.

I believe the best thing for customers of VM or BT or Sky, is the cost. is to offer 'cheapness' in the market.

Things are tough financially, for everyone BUT, áll bills go up. So companies should realise this instead of making massive profits, like Sky, there profits have been very high.
