Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
Still no mention of when the new BBC i-Player will be on Virgin Media. It was supposed to be starting on Sky today. Does anyone have any news yet?

Personally, I think people who believe HBO shows will come to Tivo as a subscription service are deluding themselves; Sky has that tied up.
It could come as Pay per View... but that is available already, though not on Tivo. So that is a possibility to be added to Tivo. But in my view PPV prices are exorbitant.
The only other way to get HBO via Tivo is if VM finally do a deal with Sky to get Sky Atlantic. But that looks dead in the water for the foreseeable future.

You have got to remember that Dave is the perennial pessimist.

It's not part of a multi-channel company, it's a single channel business. The owner is a company called H&C TV Limited, no prizes for what the initials stand for! It is ultimately controlled by its CEO Heather Killen via a trust. (Killen 2004 Trust)
