Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

I notice VM have done a deal for some Comedy Central content to be available online via the new Virgin Player:

Maybe a deal done for Comedy Central HD while they were at it?

I'm not vm's biggest fan because they are a joke of a company but I have been praising them lately for the addition of the sky hd channels.

I was just under the impression that tivo was meant to revolutionise tv not just try and link the internet in with it in a pointless way.

Actually that would be kinda cool but do you still have to wear those stupid glasses to view 3d?

glasses to view 3d?
Its the future - in 5-10 years maybe 10 years Cable TV, Satellite etc will be streamed via Internet via set-up box or direct lead into TV which allows you to access paid content, internet and video conference etc.

Basically the future is each house/flat/new build with have 1 line that supports all Video/Audio.

The tech is already there - its about bringing it all together, reduce cost and the demand.

VM are in the driving seat.
