STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

STV Glasgow did launch on June 2nd in the ''West of Scotland'' area.

But Virgin Media are only broadcasting it in old NTL areas of Glasgow.

Even Media Boy HQ can view this channel on Freeview and Sky but not on my Virgin Media (Ex-Telewest) box in the west of Scotland.

Here we go again with the NTL VS Telewest carry on.

Seem to recollect you stating it didn't release yesterday.....

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

It's on my box, am in Kirkintilloch.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Channel 23 on freeview. I presume the intention was to launch it on all VM platforms there was a problem with the ex-Telewest side of things.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Apology accepted ;)

Apparently the channel's licence is for Glasgow city only, which is covered by the ex-NTL network. Any overspill on Freeview is a bonus.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

But the 'overspill' is NOT just on Freeview it also on Sky in an old Telewest area.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

But then that'll be purely down to the postcode check Sky are doing won't it, compared to the headend broadcast restriction VM are doing.

So although there is some 'overspill' with Sky, it's probably a lot less than VM would have if they put the channel on the ex-TW headend

Either way, where the channel broadcasts will have been agreed with STV themselves, so not sure what VM could do about it without their agreement.

So VM are the only company to get it right, then?

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

You're not missing much anyway!

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Only thing good on STV Glasgow is that Football show on at 8.30pm and 11pm but I have Freeview to watch it.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

When will it come to the South Lanarkshire area? It keeps getting advertised on stv saying it's on channel 159.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Get Freeview or move to Glasgow.

Virgin Media do not Believe in Local TV.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Glasgow council tax is to high compared to mine so moving to Glasgow is a no no as my big sis lives there LOL, but will give it a go on freeview thanks.

Re: STV Glasgow on Virgin Media.
 

Before buying Freeview go to http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability to see what channels you will get.
