You're using the VM definition of "coming soon": it was announced that YouView won't launch until "early 2012" http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...h-delayed-2012

Youview is not coming for at least another year:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...til-2012.html#
I have also read reports it'll be up to 18 months before it launches. By then Virgin will have SKY on demand in place plus plenty more 3D on demand etc. Youview will be cheaper and more accessible than Virgin on demand, it's just that Virgin on demand plus TIVO will be completely and utterly untouchable by anyone! Are Virgin building an on demand monopoly?

Nialli and Chad, thanks for correcting me.
I would still have thought it is major competition to VM even if it doesn't launch soon as what they will be offering sounds similar to VM's latest plans except Youview is sub free.

You can go straight to jail for that comment, do not pass go and do not collect the £200.00 you could have used to get TIVO

I believe Youview will be far more popular than what Virgin offers, I just feel that the content on offer from Virgin will be far superior. My only concern is that somewhere down the line BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 will withdraw their catch-up and on demand content from Virgin.

 That is good news, shows negotiations are going smoothly. Now we just need ESPN America HD.

We can only keep the faith and hope ESPNA HD arrives sooner rather than later.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
Does anyone know if MTV Classic may come back to Virgin Media. This is one channel I do miss. Also will the MTV Music Channel come which use to be MTV Shows. When is the viacom deal with VM up so they can negotiate all the channels as one package. Thanks in advance for any info.
