So a quick hello from me and just one question...anyone know when Sky Movies Classics HD is launching on VM?

Sorry serious question now - having recently had Tivo installed and realising its still in need of some updates to get rid of some bugs etc, anyone know when the update is coming and also red button facilities (especially the sky sports red button).

Thanks,

Andy.

Well l thought we were getting a update in October but it now seems to be happening a little later then that and the news about the red button is some time early next year.

Thank you both.

Apologies MB but I have to say the Movie Classic HD question was a bit of a tongue in cheek question but thanks for the info anyway.

Guess I will have to live with the Tivo bugs for now, but still glad I upgraded.....free

The most up to date info seems to be over at the VM Help & Support Forum http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...ia/td-p/623187. You can see the content we will be getting on the Sky Anytime + site http://www.sky.com/shop/tv/anytime-plus/whats-on/. Hope this helps. Personally, I'm looking forward to this when it eventually arrives.

Well unless that channel suddenly appears from the Sky then its a cast iron certainty that we will not get any Sky Atlantic on demand content

While enjoying the sport of boxing if its free l will watch it but if it goes down the PPV route then many including myself will not watch it as our monthly bills are high enough as it is.

Here is more details on the new channel.

http://www.boxingscene.com/boxnation...kbuster--44071

It'll be free for the first few months and will then switch to a monthly fee of Â£10.00. There will be no PPV price, just a flat monthly subscription. Unfortunately the above link doesn't confirm the channel will be coming to Virgin.

I understand your stance Den and fulle expect complaints from others who do not want more pay channels. I'm a massive boxing fan and this channel, if it delivers what it promises to is a dream come true. Â£10.00 per month is a fair price for a dedicated boxing channel which is going to cover the best of British action and fights from around the globe.

Sky haven't produced anything yet apart from a Press Release.

The channels are possibly testing and based of the DS post require manual tuning to pick up.
