Re: TV Anywhere App
Can't understand VM's MRS restrictions on recordings. Just read about a Panasonic Blu Ray/HDD recorder which allows you to watch TV recordings on other devices connected to the network.
Come on VM - sort this out ASAP!
[EDIT - the above feature may be restricted in some regions, but maybe someone could confirm if it works in the UK?]

Panasonic just make the box - they have no agreements with the broadcasters
Virgin Media do, so have to comply with what the broadcasters wish.
Although, personally I agree it's a bit silly - MRS doesn't cause any copying issues, if anything it would be likely to reduce them

Re: TV Anywhere App
VM need to move with the times. Apple aren't the big dogs anymore, and VM need to cater to all audiences.

Virgin Media are well aware of how big Android is - however market share wasn't the reason VM's iOS app was released first.
TiVo released their iOS app first, so that is why VM could. Nothing more complicated than that.

Re: TV Anywhere App
Is Comedy Central returning or was it a mistake that it was momentarily added?

Whatever the reason is, VM should have released the Anywhere App for Android by now. I can't think of any viable reason why it still isn't available.

Re: TV Anywhere App
I'd hazard a guess at building up a large tried & tested whitelist before launch so that current popular handsets and all current Virgin Mobile handsets are guaranteed to work.

Re: TV Anywhere App
Was searching around for the upcoming Al Jazeera UK channel and I landed on the old press release about the current ones launching on VM. The PR says "Both channels courtesy of Al Jazeera will be available on Virgin Media’s TV Anywhere in 2013".
http://www.aljazeera.com/pressoffice/2013/03/20133210535245700.html
Not exactly earth shattering but its far better than nothing.

It's back - along with BET (thanks to Technix over on DS for seeing this first)
