What else has arrived? Spike? Universal HD, some Freeview movie channels? I reckon Amazon beats these assuming it launches before MB's deadline.

For me, Universal HD beats Amazon.
I already have Amazon app on my PS4 and TV. Universal HD was a good channel missing from our line-up.

Aye i agree. I wouldnt vote amazon. Firstly i have to pay for it and secondly itll be slow so its much better to use the ps4!
Appears to be a straight choice of spike or universal HD since i cant think of much else... Are we able to add a poll to vote in the thread like we usually do or are we no longer allowed to do this?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
I guess it comes down to which TV package customers have.
Those with XL may vote for Universal as it was a missing HD channel.
Those without XL may vote Amazon as it would put most apps in one place.

But what if we get a discount with Amazon UHD? That will surely be much better value.

Price rises sadly are a way of life and the TV providers are no different to any other company in that respect.

OB, UHD content on Amazon doesn't cost any extra like it does on Netflix.
You just need a 4K tv and your Amazon subscription

Only if you're willing to passively accept them. Myself and many others (with various providers) are now paying less than what we were paying previously.
If customers are daft enough to pay it, VM are going to be daft enough to put their prices up...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
We don't passively accept it but my point is price rises happen in all facets of our economy and in general life but the key is to talk to the company involved instead of some adopting a inertia policy in which they do exactly diddly squat as nothing will ever change then.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
It's simple. Without price increases, there would be no inflation.
Our wonderful Canadian, the venerable Carney, is projecting increasing inflation in the coming years so expect further price increases.

Exactly. Price rises are mostly optional
