Isn't netflix on the vm tivo?
You can get netflix on any uk broadband provider you just need a laptop or smart tv, roku, firetv etc it's available on most devices.
|
Spotify is the only app that I know of that will shortly stop being available on the TiVo (for some it has been removed already).
Not heard anything about the Netflix app being removed, I would be very surprised if VM scrapped the Netflix app or blocked them on broadband after what Mike Fries the CEO said recently:

Edit: Just checked with somebody. Netflix is not coming off VM and is still available via TiVo and broadband.

Spoke with VM CS. and they say its no longer through VM.
Can someone confirm this, and if so why ?

Netflix is still on the Tivo, I don't know how you picked up any message that this was not so.
You don't pay the subscription for it through VM, you pay Netflix directly. Maybe that's what has caused you to be confused.

As youview which BT use has the sky store app, however if the channels do appear on BT one must ask questions of VM as to why it isn't on VM and maybe it is VM that's the problem.

None yet but we think Universal HD will be in Autumn and FOX News anytime now.
|
I can't see anything that says BT is getting Sky 1 and Atlantic though I would welcome the development. That post says"Any plans for Sky 1 and Atlantic to come to Plusnet TV. Like BT?" Where is the evidence to say they're coming to BT?
In fact, BT has lost the Sky-distributed Fox channel so things are going in the other direction!

The doubters have been proved wrong. More evidence that this is a golden year for content additions. I suspect Arthur will be treating the VM staff in his local shop to celebratory donuts.

...but as someone who has multiple 4K devices and access to a vpn provider and smart dns I can confirm after lots of my own testing VM is throttling Netflix servers, I have tried a few and they have really squeezed it, Amazon and others seem fine...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
I think we now have all the HD variants of the existing SD services, apart from History HD. Are there any more?
