I totally agree with you where are the new channels, we have had absolutely nothing for a long while.

Do you think when Tivo is launched to the masses they may sneak in a few new channels as well?

I would like to think so , don't forget TIVO is good but it's still content what attracts customers.

I think Virgin Media forgot about content.
They're like Hay Guyz get Tivo Lolz.
Anyway I find it ridiculus personally, they have no justification for putting up the cost of their tv packages to existing customers if they're not actually investing in their TV services(In terms of channels) It seems like a poor way to bleed the customer dry giving absolutely nothing back in return.
Speaking of which. What's the point of this thread exactly? Seems more like a social thread than a what's coming soon, and what's ontopic is being discussed in other forum topics, kinda rendering this thread pointless. And with no news of channels coming to Virgin in weeks..

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
What happened to BBC Alba? Istr it was 'coming sometime' for all of last year, but now it has dropped off the list completely. It is supposed to be launching on Freeview soon, so why not cable?

Virgins Business Plan.
- Higher Prices = Profit
- No New Channels = Profit
With no investment in their TV platform for new channels, they don't have to speand any additional money, and with more money coming in from these price hikes, they're making a few million extra a month.
Sounds like a perfect idea for them right?

Every TV channels in super hi def-COMING SOON.*
6 Million Trillion MB/s BB -COMING SOON.*
Live holographic "as if your in the room" landlie phone - COMING SOON.*
* All services expected to arrive before the world ends installation charges will apply and you will need to buy our equipment from us then rent the equipment you bought of us and return it to us when you leave. If you damage the equipment you bought from us you will have to pay a price we decide to replace it and anything you paid for the initial rental will not be taken into account when we decide the replacement charge.Anything said to you by our sale reps is nothing to do with virginmedia and dont blame us if you think our sales staff are honest and you are stupid enough to believe what they tell you.

It's a fact of life that services like this go up very year; Sky do the same.
Also, we've had a lot of FREE HD channels added over the last year.
In my view, the functionaity that TIVO brings via apps and streaming capability, is the way video/TV content is heading; Virgin will have the capabilty for this from the get-go via TIVO.
