To be fair that article is 2 years old, a lot changes in that time in this game.

Cutting it fine? It's just under 7 weeks to Christmas....

Yes, I did see that. But these days, with Netflix adding more original content, they are becoming more like rivals than potential partners.

Spiderplant has said they won't be updating anywhere tonight on the update thread.

What is filmon.tv? I just looked at that as a web address and it looks to be a load of rubbish streaming channels??

dazed&confused · 07-11-2013, 17:44

Reading was updated Tuesday night.
Nothing from Virgin as usual
Only found out by checking the apps......after I found they had cut an hour off the cricket I was recording

I reckon they'll announce something once the roll out is complete. There must be thousands who have the update and aren't fully aware of what it entails, but if they announce it first then they'll doubtless have thousands wanting to know why they haven't got it yet.

Think the update thread and extrapolate!

After the update there should be a Discovery bar item to say you've had the update

Not on either of my boxes there hasn't been Ben.

I don't know why VM don't use the Messaging option on TiVo to push messages about this kind of thing

Looks like it's just a mix of stuff atm but they're supposed to be launching a few gaming shows to including live playthroughs etc.
Filmon.tv itself is a way to watch tv channels online similar to catchuptv service.
Was surprised to see them launch their own channel on Sky though.
