Re: Virgin TV (2026)

I can't see SkyQ being around that long - it is no longer on open sale and indications are the channels will be wound down from next two years. Sky have only committed to 2029. Some channels already left with Sky Stream now being their main platform.

EEtv can record IPTV channels - but there are not many on their EPG and it doesn't record radio.

One advantage of EE is that it can record IPTV channels.

I haven't got a subscription to Disney, but all of Prime and Netflix are in Dolby Vision to me. Given a lot of content shouldn't be it makes me wonder whether that content that should be Dolby Vision is treated correctly,or "upscaled" from a non DD version.

You have two choices, it's available if you want it, but i'm sight impaired so you'll have to make the effort yourself if it's important to you.

I'd still consider it if it was only available until 2029.

That's a shame about radio, though all my radio recordings are from BBC stations and BBC Sounds has what is essentially a replacement for QuickView.

Right on both counts. However, you will probably still have your beloved Virgin TiVo box at that point, so no need to sweat yet.
