Re: Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite

I queried this today with H&C and they said thet not only is it staying on VM - there will be no subscription added to it either. So if you currently receive it on VM it will continue at no extra cost.

Viewers will be able to choose from a free version of the service, or access a premium "Plus" version of the service for £5.99 a month, which will contain more live sport. The premium service is also available via Amazon Prime Video and via cable on Virgin TV.

Interesting, but where will they get their feed from if it's coming off satellite?

The satellite at 1W? By using IPTV?

Unless I dreamt it Corbyn was trounced in the recent election - I Thought we were in GB not Russia or China

You have the absolute right and freedom to set up your own forum and post whatever you like on it ... nobody here is stopping you.

Meanwhile, Cable Forum is a privately owned and operated forum dedicated to topic-based discussion, with a team of volunteer moderators who ensure those discussions stay reasonably on track. Feel free to phone the UN if you find this all a bit oppressive and see how far you get.

The same way they get all the other channels that have been removed from satellite. Via a fibre optic link direct into Langley. One advantage of having a master headend feeding all the others. The channel is carried widely in the Netherlands on cable services, where it launched in HD in 2018.

Perhaps HD is coming to Virgin as well???

Re: Horse & Country pulling the plug on satellite

Might get a better then. The VM Talking Pictures picture is far superior to the Sky picture.
