Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Maybe something to do with that deal with Sky last week (The ads one) but I saw an ad for Viceland today on Sky on Demand for Sky Sports.

It was an ad for an show with Sky channel number and "NOW TV" on it that the end.

All down to a change in the way Euronews operates. It used to have a single video stream linked to multiple audio soundtracks. Now it has completely separate services for each language market.

I posted early in May that VM UK had dropped the additional language streams on Euronews. It appears that VM Ireland just had a more convoluted way of making extra soundtracks available.

Viceland on demand content is available on Now TV, but not the broadcast stream.

Temporary BBC Red Button services: HD and 2-6 have now been added to the EPG on channels 990 and 992 to 996 respectively.

Nat geo looking to merge Nat geo and Nat geo wild into one channel and launching Nat geo family and Nat geo uhd on all pay platforms except talktalk.
Interesting. I had a pet theory that UHD on Virgin Media might be confined to on demand services due to the amount of bandwidth needed.

If this rumour is true, that theory is blown right out of the water!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

On all pay platforms do you seriously expect the Murdoch's to launch a UHD channel on BT ?

I'll take that with a very big pinch of salt although do appreciate the rumour.

No, I think this could be happening. Nothing like a quid pro quo where Sky is concerned.

Anyway, does National Geographic need Sky's permission to do a deal with BT?

I don't see Sky or BT giving way anytime soon.
