Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Blimey, by now already on Volume 3 so a really slow year for channel launches. Mind you, apart from Atlantic are there any channels left for Virgin to get?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

This will be final one of 2015.

Unless we get up in the morning to find that Virgin Media has launch 50+ channels overnight.:D

---------- Post added at 11:46 ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 ----------

Also Cambridge Presents has this week confirmed that they will launch on August 18th under the name Cambridge TV on both Freeview and Virgin Media in the local area.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

well only one we know is coming is BT sports Europe MB just don't know if in XL or pay extra yet

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

On our desk we have an rumour that some channels may launch by 2016 (Number of channels on list is less then 10).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Food network is bringing it's app to virgin media tivo according to a source no date given.
The app will allow you to catch up on shows and go behind the scenes at some of food networks popular shows such as ready steady cook, diners driveins and dives and chopped.
The app will offer both sd and hs content.
If the app is anything like the android app then good look with watching anything as it tends to buffer a lot and crashes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Will BT Europe Showcase have a HD variant too?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

don't see why not as all rest have

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Any more info or rumours about bt sport media boy? xl or not?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's what I was thinking too, Dave. Just didn't see any news about it.

I would have thought so though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

HD variant will be on vm too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

ITV Encore, History HD and Universal HD, together with Amazon Instant app would be nice.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Your new Sony TV should have an Amazon instant app on it, and Now TV via your Roku has ITV Encore.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

BT Europe and BT Showcase are two different channels

BT Europe will no doubt be in HD.

Techibcally - BT Showcase doesn't need to be on Virgin or Sky

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

BT have only licenced Showcase on the DTT platform, where its replacing the old BT preview channel.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Oh yes please......

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I wonder if BT Sport Europe will be included in some kind of season ticket package like VM did last year?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

it about time we had them 2 probably not get anytime soon though

BT hints that BT Sport customers on VM may get AMC
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Media Boy

Aug 1st is on a Saturday so will they still start BT sports Europe on a Saturday?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It starts programming on a Saturday but is already on-air with previews - technically it could be added any day.

Re: BT hints that BT Sport customers on VM may get AMC
 

Like Sky Atlantic, everything is available at the right price

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Will AMC have a HD variant ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Probably.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Read this website entry from the old NTL days. I found it as a Wayback Machine archive link from Wikipedia:

http://web.archive.org/web/200607040...oninfofreeview

Additionally, it said that they changed the channel line-up every MONTH, so if the new Virgin Media had adopted NTL's strategy of content acquisition, VM would be the first stop for telecoms in the UK

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Wonder if we will hear about what package bt sport Europe will be in this week?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Maybe , maybe not Vince.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Out of interest, would people rather have channels like History, Disney and whatever added in HD or a dynamic live EPG? I would rather have the EPG myself I think.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Can't we have all of it? or is that being greedy? :angel:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

1)2)3)1 and 3) We have seen no info on package news for BT Sport Europe - as far as we know Virgin and BT are still in talks over this.

2) We feel that Virgin Media may launch BT Sport Europe on July 30th.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Not sure if it's in the XL package but it's certainly in this whopper of a bundle http://keepup.virginmedia.com/sports...ampaign_banner

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Just before anyone ask - As of July 10th no new channels are testing on Virgin Media.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

From the link, it shows it being in the package rather than just the XL TV on it's own. I would have thought it would be in the XL TV package too though.

Nice link, thanks mate.

This is going to be Virgin's USP....forget Atlantic, we'll have all of the football in one subscription. Could entice people to swtich.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

this is a shame. no bt sport europe for me then :( i hate these new package names. i'm on XL or big kahuna which i have to say is a ridiculous name for a tv package.

do i get bt sport europe?? or is it 5 quid more?? i'm totally lost.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Again all we know that time of posting both Virgin Media and BT are still in talks on "how to package" BT Sport Europe on Virgin Media from August 1st.

Did you know that Sky Sports 3 HD, Sky Sports 4 HD and Sky Sports F1 HD did launch on Virgin Media an year ago tomorrow.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Excellent find freeburn.

Interestingly there is only a £28 difference between the list price of Big Kahuna and Big Kahuna Sports which includes Premier Sports and BT Europe.

BT Europe in XL looks promising IMO and if that doesn't happen then there is a bargaining chip to be had with that interesting £28 difference

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

isnt 25 quid of that difference for sky sports anyway?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Hi Vince, as long as I'm not being overcharged, my last bill showed Sky Sports at £31.25

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

ahh yes it went up didnt it. All i know is i'm on XL tv, XL phone, XL broadband (152) and i have sky sports. I'd imagine i'm on big kahuna sports already?? i'm being offered big daddy but i have no idea what the difference in price is...the vm website is beyond confusing.

XL being mentioned in one place and then 1970s wrestlers named big daddy in another place

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

If it's not old wrestlers then it's Samuel L. Jackson quotes :D

Yes, pricing is and always has been confusing. Looks like I'm on the same package as you but I cancelled Sky Sports when the season ticket ran out. I'm still hoping they do another season ticket this summer but if not I will enquire about this Big Kahuna Sports bundle, every pound saved here and there counts

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It does sound like you are on Big Kahuna Sports, so you should be fine for BT Europe, Vince.

Big Daddy includes Sky Movies as well...I believe :)

---------- Post added at 13:21 ---------- Previous post was at 13:18 ----------

From the link, it looks as though VM are packaging it in with the Big Kahuna Sports and above. Whether this includes just the XL TV package, I'm not sure.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

that's package I got now so happy about that just a pity could not get it for that price as that's new customers only :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Maybe Virgin Media and BT has work out how to package BT Sport Europe as the latest info we have is over two weeks old.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That is a pretty decent price for those wanting all the football plus speedy internet and all of the other TV channels.

Could encourage a lot of people to switch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

wish I was paying that price :LOL:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Cheers gaffer. I wish they made the packages a bit clearer! It's strange this site is live but no official announcement !

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I was thinking the same thing...But we all know what VM are like with their announcements :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

We are now waiting on an update from our Sources.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

im scared. its like that monday when virgin media announced bt sport randomly. someone hold me i'm nervous

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'll be happy to be proved wrong but I don't think Premier Sport is included in the package.

The first part just seems to be saying "You get ALL the football with Virgin" then "see the Big Kahuna Sports Bundle." When you scroll down Premier Sports is missing - it took me a few moments to notice it earlier.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Relax you're in for a very nice surprise it's not just bt sport either ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

ooh! this sounds intriguing friend. i'm still nervous! any idea then we'll hear about it??? hold me ...:shocked:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well we shall see in these coming days.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yeah in the first part it does mention Eurosport HD and Premier Sports, but not when you scroll further down..not sure what that is all about.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

As usual Virgin make their usual errors without checking.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

The picture on Premier Sports SD channel is bad...so don't mind if it's not included haha...for £58.99 for new customers I can see it being a hit. The UK Live Sports market is huge, I can see VM turning a few heads with that offer.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I hope we have BT sport Europe news soon. The Twitter account seems clueless. It literally posted the link to that page 5 minutes after I had tweeted them it querying it! I want to buy sparkling wine to celebrate. I can't until it's official!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Spot on :D

---------- Post added at 18:20 ---------- Previous post was at 18:18 ----------

Before the end of the month you'll hear something, i think by end of this week but as den correctly said we shall see.
All rumours i get now i'm taking with a pinch of salt lol will still post them ofcourse.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Its not really any different to the current price - my immediate reaction was 'think I'll stay with VM' but...

My current package is £71 plus pennies without Sky Sports but includes line rental & anytime calls. If I add Sky Sports it becomes £102 plus pennies. The new deal is £77 but when you add in line rental and anytime calls you get....£102.

The reason I don't have Sky Sports is because I have it with Sky - including everything else in HD, Movies, Box Sets, Atlantic - the lot for £36pm. Admittedly that will go up (double, unless I can do some sweet talking) in a few months but in the meantime I'm happy.

Still not sure what to do, only 4 weeks to decide.

Great post BTW freeburn.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

i love any rumours mate! we know nothing is confirmed until it arrives!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Keep your chin up old boy as l am sure your patience will be rewarded in the end.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

ill keep positive den. you're an xl tv man waiting for good news if i remember from bt sport 2 years ago?..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That is an interesting link posted by freeburn if somewhat confusing.

If it was indeed Sky Sports in HD, BT/ESPN in HD and Premier Sports for £28 p/m on top of the Big Kahuna price (as the first part of the ad suggests) that would be a very popular deal indeed. VM would poach loads of sports fan customers from rivals with that.

I would sign up straight away. But too good to be true

For what its worth i think a fair price for a total sports bundle should be around this price.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Let wait until it 100% confirmed.

We have found the following under "TV" down at the end of that link.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Just had a quick look at that bundle and took it through to the basket and it doesn't look as though it includes the Sky Premium HD charge so it'll be £7.00 on top of the quoted prices (so £65.99 (new) / £84.00 (existing) + LR).

Still good news for you VM guys though as looking at that deal, it would appear that BT Sport Europe seems to be heading into that bundle and therefore quite possibly the XL TV bundle.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

We are starting to think that way due to the following (From that link posted yesterday):

An Virgin Media Source has told us that "Nothing has been confirmed yet" to them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Must be an announcement shortly. Too much misinformation out and confusion! Maybe virgin media arent allowed to announce it due to a deal with bt sport?? like last time when we only got told we were going to get the channels on day of launch to make some people jump to bt...

But whoever launched that site early is a fool!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

It wasn't just us that saw the link yesterday either....

http://www.seenit.co.uk/bt-sport-eur...sports-bundle/

Virgin Media is to offer BT’s new European sports channel as part of its ‘The Big Kahuna Sports bundle’ according to a new promo page on its website.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

If you smell what the rock is cooking, new rumour (take with pinch of salt) WWE network may launch on vm tivo as a app by end of the year it will be £9.99p/m with your first month free.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

would be interesting that mate. if its anything like the netflix app though which is slow i'll probably just keep using my ps4!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I use the app built on my samsung tv it works flawlessly i pay £6.20p/m as i signed up via a usa vpn and used new york central library as my address lol.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Talk about confusing. The last para in the story reads:

"There’s currently no news on whether Virgin Media will also offer BT Sport Europe as part of its XL TV package as it has done BT Sport 1 & 2 and ESPN since their launch."

I thought Kahuna IS XL plus BB etc. No wonder Richard Branson lives on an island on the other side of the Atlantic - wish I did.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'm on XL for everything. That translates as big kahuna. Is this a new package they're creating? Why are some things XL and something's named something daft? It's bewildering, confusing and I'm fairly clued up so imagine if you didn't have this place to visit! Some people must be completely lost!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Yeah it's not clear whether you can just have the XL TV on its own, or you need to have the actual bundle and everything that goes with it....hopefully we'll have our answers soon

But it seems those on a big bundle or looking to get one, will have BT Sport Europe as part of it....well that was my take on it anyway lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Hope its true then would be able to watch NXT and Classic Matches from The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold etc.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

These can be found on youtube if that's any help? i think tivo has youtube i can't remember.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I've only re entry moved back to Virgin form Sky.

When I called BT to cancel my BT Sport subscription, the lady told me that I won't be getting BT Europe free on Virgin, as we are going to have of pay for it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/10...l#post35788441

Sounds good

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

hahaha aye yeah i wouldnt take that for much. i called virgin media to talk about changing contracts due to bt sport europe and i got told a surprise was coming and i wouldnt need to pay but wouldnt elaborate more.

Simple sales talk to get you to stay on or not downgrade.

No one seems to know the truth yet or wants to say! :angel:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Bt Sports Europe to be available to Virgin XL customers at no extra cost http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...e/td-p/2843866

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

well that will silence the doubters now :cleader::cleader::cleader::cleader:

and makes VM even more better value that sky :D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Well done vm for securring that that is very good news for you sports lovers on vm.

Told you you guys you would be in for a nice surprise.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Cant wait to see the disgruntaled reactions on Sky's Forums.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

lesson to be learnt - never believe anyone until it is confirmed either way !!!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I could disgruntle you all by stating i only pay £6.50 for every single premiership, champions league, european cup matches etc :p:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

could get a few leaving and coming to VM be interesting to see if that happens

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

That's weird

http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/15/v...ue-price-hike/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

shows it is best to wait for official confirmation

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I'm afraid it is most likely going to happen, you still have another channel to come in XL before October.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

probably next year it will

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Its pretty unfair though on non sports customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

In vms post they say lifestylehd is coming soon too, however i think this is a error and they infact meant lifetimehd as i think the current exclusive deal with Sky is up now MB should be able to confirm this.
The other channel i mentioned coming bY October isn't lifetimehd i will reveal more when i can, i have been told which channel it is but haven't been given the nod to disclose it yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

yeah put prices go up every year anyway Den no matter if channels are added or not and it not change that prices only will go up and up

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

And of course, BT give VM their sports channels free of charge, so the price rise will have nothing to do with extra premium sports channels added to XL ;):D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Its a bit like saying we will increase your broadband speed but here is a stealth price rise to go with it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

of course not but my point still very true prices go up every year no matter if any channels are added or not and that will not change one bit

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Dave I have family who's bundle prices increased in February (the annual rise) by over £5 , they are now going to see a further £3 increase in the coming months if this info is correct.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

think it be next year for price rises MM mate IMHO but we will see

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Does it begin with U.......hd?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

No it isn't Atlantic either ;)
