Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Welcome to nice new thread, I wonder what the first topic is

---------- Post added at 16:36 ---------- Previous post was at 16:12 ----------

approx 7 to 9 months till the brand new TiVo excited

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well, no news for months on end, according to MB's post. However, the good news is that MB has plenty of DNP notices he can sit on until VM decide to tell us about them.

The emphasis now is on new VOD services, according to Mike Fries himself. Last August he said:

'The amount of money Liberty Global spend on linear channel carriage will decline and shift to online rights, digital rights, On Demand rights, and SVOD rights.'

The next worthwhile addition I think will be Amazon, although it would be interesting to see if we get Pluto TV.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well we shall see what the wind blows in....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

:angel::PP::Yes:

---------- Post added at 16:49 ---------- Previous post was at 16:49 ----------

Currently North westerly.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well the director of digital entertainment has said there is a new TiVo ( now been pushed back ) to winter 2016/2017 so that seems to be plan, I suspect Amazon will wait till new TiVo and what is Pluto tv

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well hopefully in time the wind might turn round and come from a nice warm Southerly direction.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

There is DNP but the director of digital entertainment was predicting winter 2016/2017 so sadly MB can't confirm that but that seems to be the case

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

That is indeed the forecast Den..............:Sun:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

lets hope something happens so can talk about something that actually happen instead of speculation and people with DNP orders.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well I think the winter 2016/2017 is realistic

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

We have still to be given any new launch date on the new TiVo boxes.

All we know at time of posting we only got an "By summer games in Rio" launch date.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

hope you're right on the date virgin need something to wow with BT,sky Q

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well the director of digital entertainment is saying winter 2016/2017

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

We have not seen that being confirmed by our Virgin Media UK Sources.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

This is where confusion comes from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/...sform-its-neg/ where they say the launching a box to rival sky q at the turn of the year

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I can't believe it's taken 5 months for Vol 2 to launch. So much inactivity going on in the Virgin Media world.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well lets hope inactivity becomes regular activity in the coming months.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Can we see anything to show the artical in the telegraph is wrong

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Not sure if true but BT are allegedly working on a new box too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Media Boy Sources now say the new TiVo boxes is set to launch before 2017.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

M TV pack customers lose the extra perk that they previously enjoyed as, from today, Channel 5 HD becomes Free for everyone and will be joining Freesat and Freeview.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

So does that supersised the previous before Rio Olympic plans then

---------- Post added at 08:38 ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 ----------

All I want for christmas is .............. New TiVo ( Santa do you hear me )

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well that's going to please some of the grumps on here MB.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Just in time for Christmas maybe?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Hope that they do a raffle again as that was a decent idea?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It was, but I hope it's managed better if they do this again.

I remember many people being unhappy that they had not been notified of the TiVo competition. When they complained, they were accused of sour grapes because they didn't win one!

This was not the case at all, they were unhappy that they had been denied the chance of winning one.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

The article clarifies, rather than confuses. The original information we had about the new Tivo was either incorrect or has been revised.

I went into our Virgin Media shop today to ask whether they had been provided with any information about the availability of the new Tivo and the guy I spoke to told me that it would be coming out towards the end of this year, but no official date had been given for its launch yet.

I think that is the best information you are going to get for the time being.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I remember Being told to register my details, the first I heard was when initial stocks had been allocated

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

There is so much inactivity whenever I get drunk these days I just go to sleep rather than here.

Any news on the TiVo update? Still haven't had it

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Nothing that I have heard of yet

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

The pilot continues.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

For several more weeks l gather?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I'm hoping regular channel activity comes in very soon. I am getting bored with the lack of new channels. I am hoping for all of the following channels:

Spike TV
5STAR +1
Nick Jr +1
QVC Beauty/Extra/Style
Hochanda/The Craft Channel
Rocks & Co
Food Network +1
Travel Channel +1
movies4men/movies4men +1

Sky Atlantic SD/+1/HD
Disney Channel HD
Disney Junior +/HD
Disney XD HD
Boomerang HD
AMC/AMC HD
Irish TV
Universal Channel HD
E! +1/HD

The list goes on...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well sadly we are only getting QVC Beauty/Extra nothing else on the horizon, some of those channels are on the Irish part of virgin media but Sky Atlantic there is no chance.

So all we know coming up this year

QVC Beauty/Extra
New TiVo
New Apps and steaming App
Nearly forgot more price rises

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You'd be better getting Sky/Freeview.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You're takin the mick..................:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Don't like to say this, but VM don't seem to bother about what customers want. All they want to push is +1 channels - BUT, these are repeat channels and hour later or less.

I spoke with a Sky rep today. And they plan to bring out a new sales gimmick to challenge for more VM subsribers .

They offered me a great deal today, but my wife said that she will think about it.

And for her to say that, there must be something wrong with VM. Could be the fact VM keep pushing up the price.

Enough is enough.

I heard that the TV show 'Kingdom' may be coming to VM. Is that the Kingdom, who is a solicitor ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Kingdom is a drama set in the world of mma (mixed martial arts) it isn't too bad tbf.
Always be aware the grass may not be greener on the otherside.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

+1 channels are nice but not really a necessity… the only channel I really want that's missing at the moment is Spike, and really that's just for repeats of shows like Police Interceptors that I like to watch if nothing else is on.

truTV would have been nice to have back when they were showing Conan, but they've dropped it now unfortunately.

What I'd really like to see is a HD swap similar to Sky. There are now so many HD simulcasts that it would really be nice to hide the SD channels and have the HD version in their place.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Is there a Sky rep you haven't spoken to.:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I have thought that for a while where if there is a HD and SD version of channel to turn off the SD version. Maybe this forum should be renamed what's happening at virgin media 2016 as there is nothing really coming soon

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Generally I would agree with you but I think those who record a lot like the lower PVR hard disk space that SD recordings use.

---------- Post added at 06:17 ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 ----------

Plus:
- Expanded cable network
- Few more local TV stations
- Possible - Additional BBC services for duration of large sporting events, maybe via iPlayer?
- Ad-hoc on-demand eg Kingdom
- Possible - Amazon Prime app. Rumoured to be launching on YouView; if so I think a VM launch would be likely as it shows Amazon's enthusiasm to widen distribution.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

An expanded cable network is only public knowledge due to virgins low coverage, local tv is not created by virgin, BBC Iplayer will provide this across all platform

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

He has not spoken to you yet.;):D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Although you say that, Arthur, you have been saying it for a long time now!

Virgin did make great strides in 2012 and they gave us a lot more channels than we had before at that time.

Virgin have admitted that they have been concentrating more on broadband of late and they will now concentrate more on content. There has been speculation that they may buy back UKTV.

However, what we will get in future is likely to be a combination of tv channels and on demand and streaming services. I am hopeful that we will be getting Amazon within the next 18 months. Kingdom can be found on demand right now.

As far as price rises go, all providers have to put up prices, and in fact the latest one was down to Sky, not Virgin. You must recognise that if Sky puts its prices up, Virgin have to pass them on, they will not provide channels to us at a loss.

Good luck with transferring to Sky. I believe that your experience last time you went over to the other side was less than satisfactory.

---------- Post added at 10:54 ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 ----------

And you would actually watch all those channels? Given that Virgin would have to put up prices to give us this long list, maybe you want to think again. No point in having channels for the sake of it.

It's not up to Virgin whether we get AMC or Sky Atlantic until such time as BT and Sky respectively decide that they are prepared to change their attitude towards allowing other platforms to carry those channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

At the end of the day, a survey showed last week that 95% of television watched in the UK is available on Freeview, so squabbling over the fact we don't have QVC Beauty and the likes is irrelevant.
What is the point of expressing disappointment about not having a channel you will probably never watch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I filled in the survey earlier today on the official forums about in particular online offerings and account admin.

It was asking about what offers have I had and taken up etc.
I said as I was on the top package of everything (as I am VIP bundle effectively) then we never and I mean NEVER get any offers of anything so as we don't get the offers like Sky Movies for £1 or Sky Sports season pass or whatever it was then spot prizes of things they offer like the 6 months of Netflix or swap your box for free etc would be nice little sweeteners.

It is a bit sickening if we pay over £100 a month that you can get no offers just because you have the best everything and pay the most.....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well, what can you give to a man who has everything? :D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

-QVC Beauty and QVC Style are testing on Virgin Media UK right now.

-Talking Pictures TV some good movies on that Channel (I watch them on Sundays)

-Disney Channel HD - only broadcast in Virgin Media Ireland areas,
-Irish TV - rumour to be in talks with Virgin Media over launch.

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...-in-talks.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Listen keep pushing them for offers I got full sky sports and movies and in HD, XL TV, XL phones, 1000 mobile minutes, 200 minutes to any 08 numbers, my two tivos £ 67 for 12 months

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Do Ireland VM get Universal HD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

:shocked:

How on earth did you get that lot for £67 - just curious!! :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well before that my loyalty package was £108 and my loyalty deal was coming to a end and I was offered £99 and I accepted but he got it wrong and it was £117. They apologised and offered me a new customer deal for £67 plus £17.99 line rental included ( which was wrong) but they decided to honour the deal and I have to call in November to discuss new deal price

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I believe that there are still some customers with SD only boxes though.

A very good point Andrew.

I recently read an article that said that VM expect to be spending less on linear channels and more on VOD content.

Perhaps this is why new channels seem to have dried up?

I'd be interested in taking that survey, do you have a link to it please?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No Worth noting also that VM gets the +1 channel which BT and TalkTalk don't.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It must be nice to be on commission Andrew.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Nope.

Here is the list of channels only on Virgin Media Ireland areas.

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/p...asting-on.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Looks like Tivo has been bough out

http://vmhd.blogspot.co.uk/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Nothing will change for the foreseeable future one would imagine.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

The start of the sky 4K virgin lock out starts soon. From 2017 all formula 1 will be shown In 4K on sky Q, what next 4K movies and sports lock out worrying

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Do any differences still remain between former NTL & Telewest areas?

Aren't they going to have a simulcast in SD and/or HD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Sky sports f1 they might drop the sd or HD to make way for 4K, probably sky sports F1 HD on sky and Virgin but sky sports F1 4K only on sky q despite new TiVo being 4K ready we would still pay same for sports

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No differences on Virgin Media UK areas (NTL & Telewest) since September 6th 2013:

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...-channels.html

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Plusnet, bt and tt don't get any plus1 premium channels anyway.
TT and BT do get catch up though from the likes of universal etc.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Here you go. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...p/3101399#M526

It clearly looks like they are trying to gauge for a more online offering for signing up or reducing services or just any changes in general.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

perhaps MB source should tell him whats happening !!!!! clearly he knows more than a director.

Time to stop believing in fairy tales , the Easter bunny & Santa Claus

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Nice to see the old boy is as cheerful as ever.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Damn, I've been found out, no more future commission for me now. ;)

Let's not worry just yet, it's not 2017 yet and VM's 4K box is still several months off. A more timely concern is VM's lack of 4G for its non-business mobile customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

It's a waste of time. Everytime Ive tried to change something it tells me on the next page to phone up.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Sometimes if your on any special price you need to phone up

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

WWE Network has been mentioned to us again as coming to vm tv this year, wether true or not we do not know.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Not in a month of Sunday's my dear chap.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well as long as it's the new TiVo in 2017 not the current generation

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

As you're so confident on this care to bet your hat on it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Do VM customers not have access to this already? I know a mate of mine pays £10 a month and he has Virgin TV or can you watch online too?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Hats are not very popular in our household.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Which is exactly what I fed back to them.
If you don't tell them then they don't know what to change.

I said every time I have tried to do something online it either isn't possible or that when it is it doesn't work for me and says something like we can't change your account at this time please call.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You subscribe to WWE online at the moment or through apps on smart tvs and boxes, as far as i know only ROGERS in Canada have the WWE Network as a subscription on their cable pvr boxes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Thanks- just done the survey :)

Cheers- I never realised that they had been aligned.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Guess we'll have to see if it arrives on VM. It's the sort of app they've been going after recently.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I doubt it will launch on virgin for a good reason. The bloody PPV because sky make a good deal of profit, and virgin make some money. So if the existing die hard PPV customers move over to WWE Network then sky and virgin lose money. Well sky would just put up there channels to cover PPV loses therefore hurting none PPV customers and for Virgin as in the words of Stephanie and triple H, that is not what is "best for business ". If you remember sky fought wwe because originally wwe was going to show up to date raw and snack down. Sky stood there ground and that's why it's 4 weeks behind with episodes and originally sky was wanting it on there boxes but I think it was £12.99 a month so can't see it happening, unless Virgin does a deal to protect sky pricing

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Not quite as WWE Network is global, sky have no say on it at all, wwe network already shows every ppv live, the reason raw and smackdow aren't live on the network is because WWE get bigmoney from usa network, sky etc so it'd be silly to put them live on the network, this may all change though when contracts come to a end.
SKY has nxt WWE network shows that live.
WWE Network is £9.99p/m regardless of what SKY,VM want.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Hi no disrespect intended but wwe network was delayed in uk over sky, by nearly 6 months. In America there is no delay of raw and smackdown just U.K. Sky did try get some sort of uk exclusive

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

RAW and smackdow is indeed delayed in the USA on the network, i know this as i use a usa vpn/address for wwe network.
My apologies too you are indeed correct WWE Network was delayed in the uk due to SKYs contract, but now SKY have no say at all as far as i'm aware.
I was with WWE Network from the day it launched in USA and RAW and Smackdown has always had a 4 week delay, most likely due to it being on USA network, well at the time Smackdown was on syfy but now it's on USA network along with RAW.

:confused: and how much extra are you prepared to pay for them?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Wow you certainly have high hopes dodo and as for what l would be prepared to pay well that would depend on which of those channels arrived.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Again, really the only channel here that has new content worthy of having is Sky Atlantic. The rest are mainly repeat channels, and I've removed the +1 channels because they're not exactly necessary. HD channels are always good to have of course, not faulting that suggestion, although again really the only one of any worth is Universal Channel HD.

One in that list that I do think would be a good addition is Horse & Country TV. Not because I'm interested in that subject myself, but because it is serving a niche that other channels aren't.

AMC isn't coming anytime soon. That's a BT exclusive.

I'd like Horse & Country too. It disappeared from my Freesat box, so I assumed it had closed down.

Not sure I share your desire to want or see that channel....

Here is a sky question they say in a review

" There's plenty of space to store all your "I'll watch that later" shows too. Internal storage is up to 2TB, five times more space than the old Sky+ boxes. Or, in other terms, enough space for hundreds of films and more TV shows than you could possibly ever have time to watch."

But my mum has a 2tb sky box don't make sense

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Has your Mum got an up to date Sky+ box as opposed to an old Sky+ box?

The enthusiasm among the group is incredible. I thought I was the only one who had high hopes for VM's future.

They should say 5 times storage of old sky + but the same storage as your favourite sky 2tb box
