Also 95% of channels launches (Not BT Sport) appear on Virgin before 6am.
With early launch time of 12.30am - Yesterday +1, Eden +1 and Some UKTV launches http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...virgin-tv.html.
With 4am being late time - FOX + and Premier Sports.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
So, will Sports 5 be launching tonight on schedule, or will there be a last minute delay for VM customers?

Good that it should be launching tomorrow morning, as the channel doesn't actually start broadcasting till 6:00pm.
So 6 Sky Sports HD Channels for £7.00 a month, lot better value than a few weeks ago when it was 2 HD Channels!

Remember the old saying of you don't get something for nothing and you will not go far wrong as there will be price rises to cover this down the line.

Much better than their current £9.99 sports day pass.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
Although according to the link provided by 1andrew1 its due to be increased in November to £14.99 which isn't as good a value in my opinion.

The price might be better but Now TV is beset with streaming and buffering issues to make it unwatchable and pointless to have
Thats on 152MB broadband and a wired connection to computer, PS3 and xbox. It doesn't work on any of them

There has been quite a few issues in particular when Game of thrones was airing that said I've never seen any issues like you describe on my connection its streamed pretty much flawlessly , the PQ has some way to go in competing with Netflix but its more than acceptable and buffer free.
Is it constant buffering issues ?
