One or two new channels are possible, more exclusive content for on demand, an expanded on demand library of UKTV Play content (confirmed) and of course, the new, super duper Tivo box!

The Amazon app is something else to look out for but no formal announcement has been made yet.

Well the new update is a step in the correct direction it's getting better

But yet another loss in total TV customers:

http://www.csimagazine.com/csi/IPTV-...rty-Global.php

"In the UK, Virgin Media now has 3.713 million video subs versus 3.737m at end-June 2015, after losing 7,200 television customers in the quarter (an improvement on the 12,200 lost at the same time last year)."

Their smashing broadband but TV still on the slide

In broadband yes but their tv customer numbers are falling, most are probably just cutting the cord.

With the likes of hyperoptic launching 1gbs and testing 3gbs service VMs broadband numbers may start to decline in time.
Personally i don't see the point in moving to get more speed if you don't need it, 78mbs does me perfectly with plenty left over just a pity about the clowns who run my isp daisy communications lol.

Virgin really do need to get their act together regarding their On Demand service which is very poor in my opinion. I`m constantly finding I`m having to wait for days on end before the latest episodes of my favourite dramas are added to the available content. And even when they`ve been added I find when I try to watch the show I get the message "this program is available right now please try later",which I do and get the same message!
The tivo box is dreadfully slow too which is a damn nuisance when trying to watch recordings,search the EPG or actually do anything really!
Getting back to the On Demand,the lack of HD is also a issue that needs to be corrected.

The one2k10 is normally a faithful servant of the bearded one, spreading good news about forthcoming channels. But very occasionally his fingers get confused and he types "price rise" instead of "customer rise".

The new box will be sorting a lot of these issues out.
