Are you able to say if they are competitive with Sky's prices for their new box?

Can't say much but it'll give them something to think about.

Bay TV Swansea has started broadcasting a promo on Freeview.

They will not be going onto satellite, but will this be coming to VM?

Are the other Bay TV channels eg Liverpool on cable?

Does any business ever set its prices to not be competitive?

[Ultimate.Conj]

Maybe I used the wrong wording, but you know I meant cheaper lol

Because VM still own the boxes, does that have an influence on the pricing? I wonder if Sky have done a similar thing with their new boxes and followed VM's model or kept it so Sky's customers own the boxes.

Does the "at no cost" mean there is no monthly fee like there is on the Tivo and HD boxes?

Could be interesting if there is no monthly fee for the new Tivo, but I cannot see that happening.

Surprised that VM are getting the UHD Sky cinema channel

Got an email about it today!!

[Ultimate.Conj]

I looked this morning and it was still showing as Sky Movies, don't know if the naming of the channels would be happening today?

Would be great if VM did get the UHD movies, I need a UHD tv first though haha

It's changed to Sky Cinema on the App.

The email says " ...to give you even more to look forward to, Ultra HD films by the end of the year!"

Has anyone with an AV Receiver tried the HD On Demand version of Spectre , on other forums they are saying the surround audio is much improved. I've not tried it myself yet.

[RichardCoulter]

Season 6 of Justified started last night on Spike and the episode can be seen on Virgin catch-up.

Apparently, they've accidentally added shows from Spike before then swiftly realised and pulled them, so I suggest anyone interested acts fast.

Motors TV has unexpectedly returned to VM on EPG number 545.

However, I am not hopeful that this will be permanent.

Yes, I've given it a try and I can confirm the audio is much improved. More dynamic explosions and dialogue is clearer as well.
