Maybe they don't want people to be looking at their tests, but AFAIK, it's only showing a testcard at the moment. They are also squeezing it onto an already overloaded transponder, many people think that this will result in poor picture quality. Let's hope that VM don't take their feed from the satellite transmission!

The Spike TV launch party is tomorrow at The Hoxton for anybody who fancies gatecrashing

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1

....and it won't be on VM according to that website: http://www.spiketv.co.uk/

"COMING SOON TO: FREEVIEW, FREESAT, SKY, TALK TALK"

BUT.... perhaps it's just me, but it looks obvious that 5* is going to morph into Spike. A lot of 5*'s schedule has been cleared and what's left, in the evenings at least, is films, cowboy builders and police interceptors.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 1

What do you expect from VM. if the channel is worth anything to VM, then it will be on otherwise forget it.

I have seen the website, and its good.

Until it shows up on VM then you'll be saying "well done VM another great channel"

If it's anything like the USA channel it will be good i think it's unfair judging it before it even launches.

You have a point, but, from what I've read etc it's mostly reality stuff, Cops, cops, jail jail and more of the same, so imo it'll be crap...

Do you not think that we are getting to, or have already reached, saturation point with all of these channels? Couple that with the quickening advance and uptake of services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc etc, and there's so much on offer that you would need to be tied down to your friggin armchair 24/7 to watch even a fraction of what little good stuff there is on offer....

I'm lucky enough to know someone in the USA who gave me a login for Xfinity so that gives me the f1,football, boxing etc.

On Facebook it also mentions:
  • Fail Army
  • Lip Sync Battle
  • Olympus
  • "Exclusive shows from the UK and US, box office dramas, big budget movies and adrenaline fuelled sports."
