Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Why does VM keep on moving channels around. It doesn't make sense.

Yes each to their own opinion as l think there is a lot of good stuff on there personally.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Has anyone got any idea if Amazon Prime will be coming to VM this year. I know it has been mentioned on numerous occasions, just wondering if their is any update?!?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
I wonder if Sky's refusal to allow Sky Atlantic onto other platforms may be contributing towards this story that Games of Thrones is the most pirated TV program of the year:

UKs tv numbers are a tiny drop in the ocean. Also don't forget many in the uk who don't have access to Sky Atlantic via their provider would also have nowtv which most of the UK has access too. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Has anybody got any information whether ITV Box office will be carried by Virgin Media at the end of January 2017. Reading this article it has already been tested on Sky. http://www.a516digital.com/2016/12/i...-2017.html?m=1

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Couldn't see any mention of sky's UHDsports coverage - as V6 is UHD compatible seem's logical for it to be available at some point?
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
This is a new rumour we've had here i'm not sure on it it is a new source.
Apparantly VM were close to striking a deal with BT for VM to carry AMC, however VM went to Ofcom about BT sports and BT pulled out of the deal in retaliation. If this is true and it is a big IF then it seems VMs petty behaviour is the reason VM aren't carrying AMC. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Although, l am not bothered about SA. As my son watches it on Sky.
I understand VM and Sky are talking about SA and other channels. And are close to an agreement. If so VM will put the price up again |

Rumour, VM to start offering a buy and keep service in 2017, not sure if it'll include a dvd yet or how it'll work will post further info as and when i get it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
There was some talk about the local BBC channels (101) being broadcast in HD.
Has there been any update on that? |

What is the Virgin Media Store and what does it offer? Virgin Media has long offered the ability to rent TV box sets and movies, but from February 2017 you will also be able to purchase digital entertainment to keep. The Virgin Media Store will be able to be accessed through Virgin TV V6 and existing TiVo boxes, on a desktop PC or Mac, or through a dedicated app for iOS and Android. If you buy a movie, a copy of the DVD will also be posted to you to keep, much like Sky's Buy & Keep incentive. Non-Virgin TV customers can also purchase content from the Virgin Media Store. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
I wonder what the implications of this are for Virgin Movies?
Maybe they will just add 'buy and keep' to their selection options and change their name to 'Virgin Media Store'. Problem sorted. |

So if a new deal is required to move channels, maybe wishful thinking, but if VM could also try to secure some UHD on-demand movies too, that would be brill ;) |

With dvd/blu ray you know it's yours forever. What baffles me is why SKY still do not offer blu ray on the sky store let's be honest the prices they charge for new releases £13.99 you can get much cheaper from places like Amazon, hmv on blu ray which most include a digital copy to to use on ultraviolet which many companies support. My theory is VM will break that mould and will offer blu ray as well as dvd, maybe they'll use someone like HMV. |

However, what would interest me would be if we had a deal on getting full access to UHD channels. ...And Sky Atlantic... :tiptoe: Edit: By 'channels' of course, I am referring to 'on demand' channels, before someone picks me up on that! |

I see they are leaving 402 free - the last time a rejig of sky channels left a gap, was for the launch of Sky Sports Mix.
Sky currently have some spare satellite capacity following the closure of Sky Box Office - I wonder if they plan to use some of this to launch Premiere +1 HD, which would then take up the 402 slot on Virgin...? |
