Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

Hey thanks everyone for the hints. BoxNation is indeed free-to-air on my M+ package right now. Love it!

Maybe it's a mistake, but it's a good one for a change.

Oh, BoxNation EPG data containing spoilers is bad. I know some boxing fans will know the outcome but either way, not good to make archive fights a foregone conclusion!

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

So if everyone is getting BoxNation free just now how would I know if the channel hasn't been successfully added to my package? What I mean is as far as I'm concerned I'm fully subscribed. I would hate it if on Saturday the channel went off air just before the fight for all non-subscribed customers, and it's only at this point I learn the channel hasn't been successfully added to my package and the screen goes blank. I've got family and friends coming round to watch the fight on Saturday and I seriously don't need any hassle, stress or last minute calls to Virgin trying to resolve the problem. This of course would be the worst case scenario, but it could happen.

Can someone from Virgin clarify what is going on please?

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

That's just stupid! VM have fairly recently started using a new computer system, one would have thought something as basic as this would have been sorted out.

It's like going to a restaurant and being told you cannot order your main course until your starter has been eaten

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

No more free BoxNation; someone must have noticed the mistake. I left the TiVo on and tuned into the channel and in the morning it was just black, and disappeared from the EPG as soon as I changed the channel.

I must say though, from the illicit sneak peak I got it looks like if you love boxing this channel is worth every penny. If I didn't have such a tight budget I would have signed up!

Their website is coming along nicely however I agree the times are all wrong at the moment.

As far as I can tell the show for Povetkin Vs. Boswell starts at 7pm. Cotto Vs. Maragrito II begins at 2am. The ringwalks for Cotto Vs. Margarito should be between 4:30am & 5:00am. This of course could change depending on how the undercard action goes.

SKY Anytime arrived about 4 weeks ago. I think there is about 3 pages worth of boxing. Pacman against Hatton was devastating. Hatton is not the same man. I wish Khan Vs. Maidana was on demand. I'd love to watch that again.

It was a great performance by Ricky. The judges scored the fight a little wide in my opinion but he deserved the win.

Re: BoxNation on Virgin Media?

Hey Chad, did you and everyone else manage to watch the entire Cotto vs. Margarito II fight live in the wee hours of this morning? If so how was the BoxNation coverage?

The fight is tonight. The broadcast starts at 7pm from Germany, it's going to be a long one!

I did watch Martin Murray Vs. Felix Sturm last night. Great battle. Even thought Murray is basically a novice at world level, he went the 12 rounds and could have easily won the fight. In the end it was a draw. As usual with a tight fight people think Murray got robbed. I feel a draw was right.

I have a real feeling Chisora Vs. Helenius tonight from Germany might steal the show.
