Could this be a sign of what’s to come in 2020 for VM and Sky alike?

Oh I'm not claiming that it's unusual, in fact the opposite that it's absolutely routine.
It's not many £7.99s a month if you ask me. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
I probably missed it, but any idea where the content of Universal is moving to (at all) ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2020)
Why would anyone sit down to watch linear shows if you have the means to watch the show when you want to watch it, I just don't get why some people are tied to watching something when it's broadcast, the only difference is of course live sport.

The problem there is many on-demand services still have adverts and they are unusually unskippable, so at least linear channels you can record them and high speed fast-forward them. On-demand on VM often has ads and there is only one speed to the fast-forward, and sometimes the playback crashes and you have to start again. So if the on-demand option available has ads, there's one less advantage so live watching. So impatient people will just watch live. If it were me I'd record the linear broacast, and start watching it once it's recorded enough to skip ads without catching up. I sometimes even do it with live sport, if it's on an ad-channel. |

My TiVo box is reporting that BoXmas (Channel 330) will close on January 8th. The rest of Box Network channel EPG say "To Be Announced".
