Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
It's the truly intelligent TV that does episode management, personal scheduling and recommendation across on-demand and live services that is the missing piece at the moment. But as I mentioned before there are so many obstacles that make it really hard for that to be realised. Which annoys me as it's a project I'd love to run.

It's a shame the TiVo versions don't hang around for long - my Sony TV's version of the App keeps them for a month rather than a week.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
London Live may be on a knife edge as it's owner has announced that he is to stop printing the Independent titles.
Both companies are currently making losses; even rich people can't subsidise loss making companies forever.

Can't find the exact quote right now but Levedev has said he is committed to the station and it hopes to break even by 2017.

Really can't see the appeal of it other than as a Channel 4 +20 years for people who only have Freeview. Pity Channel One never lasted as that was much better in doing what it was supposed to do.
