Re: Virgin Media IPTV - Stream Changelog

Why would you even want or need Stream if you already have the Virgin Media cabled tv service?

Re: Virgin Media IPTV - Stream Changelog

It's just badly worded. You can't have both cable TV and Stream at the same time.

Because it's cheaper than a second STB

Re: Virgin Media IPTV - Stream Changelog

And with fewer channels and unable to watch your recordings. Great.

Re: Virgin Media IPTV - Stream Changelog

I take it that the VM stream box is like the Sky stream box and doesn't offer any recording facilties at all!?

And the available catchup option does not cover all 100% of programmes on the main channels.

It depends what you are looking for, I guess. I wouldn’t go for Stream because:

1. My wife does not like having to work out where to go to see the programmes she wants to see and prefers to simply access programmes I add to her watchlist. For that to happen, I need to be able to record or bookmark programmes for her on the Virgin box, so she can access everything from that one central watchlist, from which she can go to content from TV channels and streamers. Unfortunately, Netflix isn’t one of them as they have elected not to go for any more integration - a decision I hope they will reverse soon.

2. If we went for stream, as I understand it, we couldn’t record but we could bookmark on the system. However, I don’t think it has profiles like the 360 does, and I’m not sure if the watchlist can be compiled using the other streamers on the system. But it would anyway be a retrograde step because although it does have Disney+, it doesn’t have Discovery+, and some of my wife’s favourite programmes are on there. Due to the reduced number of TV channels, she couldn’t watch these programmes on demand either.

3. If I was only catering for myself, it still wouldn’t be good enough because there are too few streamers on there, and as I said, I like to have one watchlist for as many TV channels and streamers as possible. The closest I can get to that is with my 360 box.

I am still waiting for a company to see the importance of getting to the point of embracing all the streamers with the ability of the box provided to be able to bring all the content together in a central watchlist. I have no idea whether that will ever happen, and in the meantime the user has to negotiate all the various interfaces, which is unsatisfactory.

I think you can bookmark most content from all the channels (they describe it as ‘recording to the cloud’, I believe, but it is the same thing).

I think most of the catch up content is on the various players as well, but others may be able to clarify that.

I believe the closest we have to a universal watchlist currently is Plex.
