ITV have tonight started tests for ITV1 +1 on Sky ahead of it launch in January 2011.

Press reports from 2009 did say that Virgin will carry this channel from launch in England and Wales.

An EPG banner on my old Sky did say STV News was on at 7pm.

STV +1 on the way?

More news has/if I got it.

I have been hoping that CBS Drama will come to virgin cos they show a lot of the old american soaps from the 1980s such as Dynasty and Falcons Crest. So, keeping fingers cross it will appear from next January.

As for Filmflex, I just dont bother with that at all, preferring to rent DVDs from Lovefilm, I get 4 discs a month for £7.99 (due to increase slightly with the VAT increase next month), I get a wider choice, and can keep the discs for at least 14 days before i send them back.

Any news on Premier Sports?

I'm totally gutted. I've just read that ESPN have sold the rights to ESPN Friday Fight Night to Premier Sports for the next 2 years. ESPN Friday Fight Nights is the only live boxing ESPN UK ever show. I can't believe they've sold the UK broadcast rights of their own bloody show to a competitor, a competitor I can't yet subscribe to on Virgin Media. For me personally, Premier Sports is now a more attractive channel than ESPN in terms of what I like to watch.

Extreme sports show TNA Xplosion which I think is like a highlights show with the odd match thrown in - willing to be corrected though as I don't watch it. They also show the PPV's. But TNA iMPACT! (the weekly show in the same vein as WWE Raw) is shown on Bravo on saturday nights.

I see that VM are putting more Tivo stuff up, have a look and see what it says next to the sign in button http://tv.virginmedia.com/vtvapp/epg.do

Also I see from the new Tivo blog that VM are demanding exclusive Spotify rights for the UK, I would have thought that Spotify would be too big to limit themselves to just one provider http://virgintivo.blogspot.com/2010/...-tivo-may.html

Yeah the remote recording was mentioned in the TiVo Thread.

I'm going to say Spotify will take the deal, there leaked finical didn't look too good and there having problems making the deals to launch in the US. This would be a great inroad to ALOT of new customers.

Spotify is incredible. I assume the exclusive deal will be for "TV" based subs. It's widely available through your PC and mobile devices.

Thats good about this, you can set to record something when your not at home, i cant wait to get the TiVo box

I e-mailed Virgin about adding Premier Sports to their line-up and got the following:

"I apologise that you are unable to watch Premier Sports via Virgin.


"Unfortunately we don't currently have a contract with the channel provider in order to add this channel to our line up. But we are always changing our channel line up and it may be added in the future."

More people might be interested in Premier Sports shortly. Whilst everything is seemingly quiet regarding the future of TNA wrestling on SKY, Premier Sports are preparing to snap up the rights should they become available along with the UK broadcast rights to K-1. Saw it on their Facebook page last week. Probably just speculation, so it'll fight into this thread nicely
