If they fail to make sufficient from subscribers, they will employ other measures, such an AVOD version of Disney +, or perhaps enabling some of their material to be aired on other platforms.
I wouldn't be writing them off just yet, jfman.

I didn't forget what they could gain from subscribers, I specifically mentioned it as the Direct to Home sales figure. As opposed to wholesale revenue.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Anyone had problems with v6 box on Iplayer? Only plays audio, no video when a program is played back. Tried new cables and rebooting etc. Iplayer app on tv works ok. Virgin themselves don't seem to have a solution yet. Netflix and Prime and other streaming services are ok.

Do you have a fairly old Samsung TV? If so, the only fix I know of is to swap to one of the older TiVos. (Or get a new TV, of course)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Try rebooting your SuperHub. Also see whether the TV has a factory reset option.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
The hub has been rebooted several times. It can't be the tv if other apps are streaming ok from the v6. And the link to the same problem above by others points to a problem on Virgins end. Just wanted to know if anyone had a definitive answer from Virgin. They haven't resolved it on their own forum as yet.

So much for some saying prices would be getting cheaper.

That's only the day passes, Den, nothing there to say that the monthly subs are increasing.

You can bet your bottom dollar they will do in time.

That community forum thread contains various different faults. Each case needs treating separately.
My advice to you is to reset your TV. If that doesn't resolve it, I can suggest some more things to try.

I think it's reaching the point where people will just say "no"

Have you tried switching Dolby off from the TiVo, or the tv settings?
