Your views on Coming Soon thread in 2016?
 
With UPC Ireland being rebrand as Virgin Media Ireland we want to you views on the best way for the Coming soon to Virgin Media thread starting next year!

So far here is our plans:

A) Put both Virgin Media UK and Virgin Media Ireland into the one thread (We will launch volumes about every three to six months. That will be down to how busy Virgin Media has been on channel launches.)

B) Launch two threads one for Virgin Media UK (New one about every three months). And launch the other one for Virgin Media Ireland (Every year).

Let us know your views by December 6th.

Thanks Media Boy HQ.

Put it all in one thread would be my simple advice.

Isn't that going to be confusing?

Do we have any ROI readers, anyway?

We also see that about 99% channels numbers are not the same on both networks.

Movies 24 is on

Virgin Media UK Channel 419.
Virgin Media Ireland Channel 329.

As of today we are set to be going with B unless Virgin Media Ireland redo their channel numbers.
Think in time they will reorganise both so that there is just one channel numbers lineup

We just seen this:

Quote:
On 27 March 2013 Comreg published a Decision (D06/13) that all MMDS licences will expire on 18 April 2016 and the spectrum will be auctioned off and new licences issued on a service and technology neutral basis.
Virgin Media Ireland may close in April 2016 if Virgin are outbid.

l am sure our friends in the ROI are more then intelligent enough to find the information they might need SP.

There is really no need for a new Coming Soon thread every 3-6 months. Am sure we covered that before. One for the year is enough.

They only have a few thousand customers on MMDS. MMDS is used to provide TV services in non-cabled areas. It's a one-way network, so no interactive and no broadband. VM may be quite happy to lose it.

I'm sure they are. It's our large UK readership I was concerned about, having to skip a load of irrelevant stuff.

What ever is easiest MB. Whether I am with VM or not, now or in the future, I will only look at the thread relevant to me.

In the past 48 hours we are starting to go for B. Before that we was set to go for A.

That why we want other posters views.

We will go with the winner of the Poll.

Tbh most of the stuff is irrelevant, he's been asked before to cut out all the non relevant stuff, and replace it with what's actually coming, but we still get reams and reams of stuff that I would assume no one reads.
