Don't know. Murdoch's plans were not a consideration in my vote; way more important principles than him at stake.


Brexit or remain, I am against him having more interests than he already has in UK media.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

By the time we leave Europe his interests may have turned to which care home provides the best food.:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

More significantly, so is CSS Drama, which is usually only included in Full House / XL which is frankly laughable.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

It has been confirmed that Local TV in Central Scotland is set for an new look.

They local TV Channels (STV Local) will become known as STV2 from April 24th.

STV Local is on Virgin UK Channel 159 in Central Scotland.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Thanks, I didn't know that this included CBS Drama.

I agree that its ridiculous that this is in XL/Full House. What VM have been known to do is to move channels lower down the packs but make out that it's a special limited time thing and then keep them there at the end of the period. Let's hope that this is the case here.

Oh dear, more brain numbing trash!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Actually, STV2 could turn out to be the best of the local channels. Mind you, that's not really saying much!

Sky Cinema News:

Sky Cinema will be having an "Star Wars Day" on Sky Cinema Sci-Fi and Horror on Easter Monday.

Also Sky Cinema Greats is set to be rebrand again from April 21st.

This time it will be called Sky Cinema Star Trek until April 30th.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Interesting that these stupid name changes by Sky require them to register the change with OFCOM and back again, presumably paying two fees to do so.

I imagine that VM will charge for each EPG change too.

It must be worth their while to keep doing it though; maybe Sky Movies customers are easily duped into thinking that they are continually getting more film channels??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

The EPG change will only happen with Sky Cinema Star Trek.

The EPG will still say "Sky Sci-Fi Horror" on Easter Monday.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

What these name changes do is attract new customers who are fans of that particular film,(Star Trek) in this particular instance. At least that's what Sky hope to achieve, and it must have some positive effect otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Base on Information from Virgin Kids TV (Virgin UK Channel 700) we think Kix Power is set to close on May 4th on Virgin UK Channel 738.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Oh no not again...:(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

But if they were really fans of these movies you would expect them to have them all on DVD/Blu Ray

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well maybe but I'm a fan of Star Trek but don't have any on DVD or Blu Ray. As I say its just a thought.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

An ITV company having an additional channel making programmes like ITV companies always used to do, except with money milked off the BBC. They are on a good one there.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Potential update to the virgin media buy and keep service rumoured to be coming this year.
Sources yesterday have suggested that google video are keen to launch a app on the vm platform tivo and v6 although this is still a rumour to take with a pinch of salt at the moment if true this siggests that vms buy and keep service could be powered by google but as far as i'm aware google do not send out dvds unless they are partnering with someone such as Amazon or hmv.
I'll post further info when i get it.
Have a good Easter all :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

A service that worked would be a start!

Also a diagnostic system that was running so problems could be resolved!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

They have made a good start with their V6 boxes, to be fair.

I do think some work is required to make their catch up/on demand services more robust, although I have had very few problems with my new boxes, all of which related to the recent national glitch, now resolved.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

... and with 6 tuners who needs catchup and on demand anyway?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Doesn't matter how many tuners you have when you are unable to view any sky sports or BT sports channels and have no broadband.

No diagnostic service available so virgin cannot investigate - been like this since 8am - latest est is now 6pm!

What idiot chose to do maintenance on Easter Sunday?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

This negative feedback is really putting me off getting the new TiVo box. Think I'll wait till(if) Virgin iron out all the problems.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

...And yet the vast majority of us are well pleased with the V6. You will always get complaints, no matter how good the service. I understand there are more issues with the Sky Q than with the V6.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I'm one of virgins biggest critics but tbf to vm with new technology you will get bugs no matter who you're with, even my ps4 had bugs to begin with as did roku.
As technology evolves bugs will become more common.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Fair enough but still think I'll wait until those issues are ironed out

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I always wait now with new tech i give it at least a year before i buy.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

What issues are you referring to?
The only issue I have with my two V6s is that one, connected via WiFi, doesn't run Netflix. Hardly a showstopper for me. I'm not aware of any other major bugs - my two perform more reliably than the older TiVos they replaced now that the new update is out.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I find VOD useful for when the V6 clips recordings or when programmes overrun.

I soon found that adding padding caused problems at peak times and that most programmes didn't overrun.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...704015&page=18

The main problems seem to be not recording whilst in Standby, recordings only being made for the first few minutes of a programme, missing channels and certain recordings causing the box to reboot. I've experienced the first three, but not the fourth.

---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 18:58 ----------

Interestingly, the DTT licence list has changed as follows:

Changed:
- BTPreview
... into:
+ BTPreviewHD

Changed:
- BTSportShowcase
... into:
+ BTSportShowcaseHD

That would indicate that they are now able to carry these in HD or convert them to HD later on Freeview.

I wonder if we will be getting these free BT Sport channels in HD on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Both the DTPS (DTT) and the TLCS (Cable and Satellite) licences have changed. VM has already carried the HD content over the Hidden BT Sport HD channel, which is set up to be switched in and out of channel 100.

I doubt that we will get the full time service, as it is just a rolling advert loop for BT services.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I had so many problems with my old TiVos that, cost aside, upgrading to a couple of V6s was basically a no-brainer. Since then I have only encountered the most minor problems the worst of which was a single failed recording. FWIW from my experience compared to the original Virgin Media TiVo the V6 is a worthwhile upgrade.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There was a simple workaround of not using Standby until the issue was fixed - it now is.
I've not experienced any of the others at all and my V6s are whirring away every day. There are a few minor bugs and I've no doubt others may experience problems I've not had, but often I think many of those reported on Cable Forum are down to local issues rather than the V6 itself. My family have found the V6 to be a considerable improvement over previous Virgin Media hardware and well worth the upgrade.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There are many different reasons why some people will see issues you aren't seeing , look how many different TV sets there are then factor in people connect their STB's in many different ways some will plug direct to the TV some will go through an AV Receiver.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Your problem doesn't seem to be a V6 problem at all, but some sort of area fault. How do you know this has resulted from maintenance work?

Sorry to hear you've lost your services until Friday. It pays to have some back-up arrangements if you can afford to do so. If my cable system goes down, I still have my smart TV (connected to the aerial) and my Roku stick.

If the broadband goes down as well, I still have my DVD recorder, so I would still have access to live Freeview channels and all my recordings on there.

However, if I have a power cut, I'm stuffed!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Indeed there are a plethora of reasons why some have problems as its not as easy sometimes as just adding 2+2 which makes 4 as some seem to imagine sometimes MM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

If it was maintenance it must have been something very urgent. Do you have the ticket number?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Thanks, I didn't realise that this was good to go on VM :)

I haven't been able to test if it will still record whilst in Standby as I have planned recordings; has anyone actually found that the update resolved the fault by personal experience?

I was surprised when I received a planned software update on Good Friday morning.

In case anything had gone wrong, we could have lost service at a holiday time when VM staff were on holiday themselves!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There was absolutely no chance of losing your service Richard as this was a very minor update by all accounts.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I picked up a hint of disappointment that nothing had gone wrong with the update as well, Den. I thought it was just me and my interpretation!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Explain why anyone would want an update to cause a service failure on Good Friday morning?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Tv service failed from 14:32 to around 22:00 on Saturday

Hasn't worked at all since around 9:00 Sunday (nor has broadband)


The maintenance I referred to from 8:00 to 18:00 on Sunday was supposedly to virgins diagnostic service, so they couldn't fix mine remotely.

Mind you they couldn't when it came back either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Could this be the turning point to Sky Atlantic appearing on VM?

Sky and Virgin Media in talks over targeted TV advertising tie-up

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Who knows bud plus both declined to comment.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

no chance it a advertising deal nothing to do with channels

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Oh Andrew your positivity knows no bounds.;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Most wouldn't, Richard, but some might have seen it as a good compensation opportunity.

---------- Post added at 08:17 ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 ----------

I think that might be a bit of a stretch, but the most significant parts of this article that could support your proposition are the much improved relationship between Sky and Virgin since the Malone takeover (there's a surprise in itself) and the changing fortunes of Sky with its need to bolster advertising to maintain its financial position.

If Sky Atlantic were to be made available to Virgin viewers, the increased audience share would certainly increase advertising revenue for that channel. Although much has been made of SA being the 'unique selling point' for Sky, its ability to differentiate the two companies in Sky's favour has declined in recent times. Most who would have been influenced by this are already Sky customers and are unlikely to leave in droves just because VM get access to it.


The planned tie-up with Virgin Media, which sources said could be announced within days, is the latest signal of the improved relationship between the two companies since Liberty Global took control in 2013. In the 2000s they traded blows after Sky derailed a Virgin Media takeover of ITV by taking a blocking stake. Sky sold its ITV shares to Liberty Global in 2014.

Advertising has become a more significant source of growth for Sky as its core satellite subscription business has slowed under pressure from BT and others. Credit Suisse analysts forecast that Sky will reprt only 30,000 new pay-TV customers in the first three months of the year, less than half last year’s figure.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Who knows whether Sky Atlantic will arrive but personally I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Andrews view , remember Sky Atlantic is one of the channels upon which Sky Adsmart is used.
https://www.skyadsmart.co.uk/about-skyadsmart/

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well until there is substantiated proof then l have my doubts MM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

You know me Den, ever the optimist. :) I think the Adsmart announcement may be made in a couple of days when Sky's nine months results come out so keep your eyes peeled. Sky may also reveal changes in its sports packages then as well. Just my usual conjecture. ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well Andrew we shall see what transpires in this coming period.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

The sports package shake up is heavily rumoured on a number of forums there is certainly something happening i think.
Regarding Sky Atlantic i think it is possible, however if it does launch on VM then Dave has to run around in a pink onesie shouting "it did happen" :p:

Ultra HD coming to VM?

Snippet from an article, but no time-frames. Coming soon I guess? :-)

"Asked about protecting Ultra HD content, he said it was Liberty’s ambition to launch such services. It had been advised to read a document produced by MovieLabs about protecting them. It will initially deliver VOD and EST in the format, which will be more difficult to protect than linear channels."

There hasn't been any word on it since they spoke about it at the V6 launch..Hmmmm

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

You really will have to do something about your humour deficiency, Richard.

It's strange that you should take exception to my remarks when you are far more scathing about Virgin Media and its employees. This is a discussion forum, and sometimes people will disagree with you.

In case you haven't noticed, people disagree with me sometimes, too!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Hi Richard,

It is DreamRJ from DS,

I just had to sign up to CF to post and reply to this post.

I am sorry for your misfortunes. But we all have some misfortunes in our lives, so there is no need to be bitter, I noticed Old Boy was actually just having some banter. I know it can be hard to realise from text what is banter and what is not. But I am not being condescending when i say this, but i feel your trying to be poor me. and there is no need for it. Also this is not a thread for it. The thread should be kept on topic. And As i said i am sorry for your misfortune with your health and i wish and hope you can get some improvement in the future too.

But please just understand sometimes it is easy to misinterpret sentences in posts in forums. Maybe try and read them a few times over and try and look at the comment from every angle before you respond. :) Just some friendly advice :)

---------- Post added at 19:24 ---------- Previous post was at 19:19 ----------

And can i now just post to say hi all. Been a lurker here for many years. But i used DS and i post there until today i signed up at CF.

And as to the rumours again for SA coming to VM. I doubt it will what so ever, i have said this in some posts in DS forum too a few times.

As i said in DS forum, I think SA is a overrated channel anyway. But i would not say i do not want it if it was to come to VM, but it is in the odds of 1 in a million to coming to VM anyway imho.

Thanks for the info Media Boy. Any idea how long before it's likely to launch?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Latest info we have is "By May"

http://mediaboyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2...esside-to.html

EDIT: We just been on Made in Teesside twitter page and it say that they has launch on April 18th on Virgin Channel 159.

Can you confirm telegramsam?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Just looked on my v HD box and it's listed on the EPG but when I tried to view it says "this channel isn't available right now or you may not be subscribed to it" . I'm on the xl pack ( or whatever it's called now ) so I should get it,shouldn't I? Maybe it takes a while to update?
Just looked on the TiVo box and it's up and running! They're showing a very old black and white program,Sherlock Holmes!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Try an reboot it may fix your V HD Box.

---------- Post added at 14:06 ---------- Previous post was at 14:05 ----------

Thanks for info on Made in Teesside.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

It showed up as testing on the NGRHEE Bromley network before Easter but I was unable to check if it was running in the background on the Teesside network, as that is, unfortunately, on the ex-NTL group of networks (NIT data for the ex-NTL group can't be seen from the ex-Telewest / ex-C&W / ex-Smallworld group).

At the same time it was noted that Cambridge TV was no longer in the Network Information Tables for NGRHEE Bromley. Also Bay TV Swansea had been removed from the NIT tables of NGRHEE Bromley, NGRHEE Knowsley, TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE) & TTA Knowsley DMC (Hayes_RHE) networks. All of those are networks used for internal testing. Cambridge TV & Bay TV Swansea remain in the Service Description Table and, presumably, on their respective regional networks (I can't confirm that as they are both on the ex-NTL group).

As far as "tests" go:

Viceland showed up in the NIT tables of TTA Knowsley DMC (Hayes_RHE), TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE) & Code Download Test (Portsmouth).

Fox News Channel was in the NIT tables of TTA Knowsley DMC (Hayes_RHE), TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE), NGRHEE Bromley & NGRHEE Knowsley.

No progress with those.

Point of interest: NIT tables of NGRHEE Bromley, TTA Bromley DMC (Bromley RHE) & Manchester TRIALS networks include: RTE One, RTE Two & TG4 - presumably for monitoring purposes, I wouldn't expect those to be made available on customer facing networks other than those in Northern Ireland.

Various internal tests continue to show up on the NIT tables of VM's internal networks. Frequency tests appear in the NIT for various regional networks, although many of these have been observed as currently being inactive.

No major developments unfortunately.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Base on info we seen yesterday.

Viceland is broadcast with both Video and EPG.
Fox News is Not doing anything.

---------- Post added at 17:45 ---------- Previous post was at 17:36 ----------

No news was given on That's Solent

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Well I've tried a reboot but still not receiving it. I'l try tomorrow and if it's still not on I'l phone Virgin about it. I would of thought as all my other channels I sub to are on and the Made On Teesside channel is on my TiVo box it would of been on the V hd box too!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Nothing new there for Viceland, the video stream (PID 1601) and audio stream (PID 1611) are indeed carried across multiple networks on transport stream TSID 11 and have been for a long time.

This isn't unusual, as Viceland isn't in the NIT for the customer facing networks. It (the presence of hidden video and audio streams) is quite common on the regional transport streams, where local tv channels are sent out across all networks from the local headend but only defined in the NIT for the appropriate networks. E.g. Sheffield Live audio & video streams are carried across Barnsley 1, Barnsley 2, Barnsley 3 & Barnsley 4 networks but only present in the NIT for Barnsley 3 & Barnsley 4, which cover the Sheffield area. Sheffield Live is viewable on VM equipment on the Barnsley 3 & Barnsley 4 networks, where it is present in the NIT but ignored by VM equipment on the Barnsley 1 & Barnsley 2 networks, where it isn't defined in the NIT, even though the video and audio streams are actually present.

EPG data is carried across the entire network, repeated across each transport stream, so EPG data being present doesn't actually indicate that the channels are physically present anywhere on the network.

The fact that the Viceland video and audio streams were added across the national network some time ago but haven't been added to the NIT possibly indicates that there is a problem bringing the service to VM customers. The problem could be technical, contractual or just a reason known only to VM management.

As I've said previously, it isn't listed in the NIT for ANY network, not even the internal networks used for testing.

It only exists as a name defined in the Service Description Table. Indicating that it may have been tested at some point and the tests were subsequently discontinued OR it was added, at some point, but the active tests never actually started.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

There is only one old B&W film a day on Teeside.

But apart from a short local news programme - most of the schedule of all local tv channels is old fillers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

When cable tv first started in the UK, some of the old cablecos teamed up with colleges to produce content and even a few channels launched. In my area, we were meant to get a "proper" local tv channel in the early 90s, but it only got as far as a text service. It was meant to extend to a one hour news/current affairs show in the evening, but that never materialised.

As the cablecos started merging with each other and the "local" aspect of the companies started to be watered down as they grew into national companies, the idea of real local tv disappeared with them.

Cable can and should be able to deliver local tv, with advertising coming from local business, but this has never been harnessed, it's barely ever got off the ground.

These "made in" channels, are not local tv.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Local TV has always been garbage in the UK, there isn't enough local business money available to support a decent channel that people are interested in watching

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

I'm old enough to remember when cinemas had adverts for local restaurants on car showrooms. I think local advertising is quite dead and the internet is king for this type of thing now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yes I remember local advertising at cinema.
Local TV should be all about local TV program makers and local advertising. I'm sure they could make it work if they wanted to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Yes, our local channel was pretty much just a text service too. The only programme it ever showed was "What 2 Watch" which was a preview of the week's programmes on cable presented by Debbie Flint. L!ve TV also showed a short-lived behind the scenes series at a local football club too - I guess this was played-out via tape at the local cable site.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

STV2 re-branding and Merging of Edinburgh and Glasgow - starts tomorrow 24/4 hopefully getting better content....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

Point taken, Sam, although avoiding it altogether would sound sensible to me!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

That wouldn't make sense if I saw something on I fancied watching, would it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

No, that would make perfect sense, although if London Live is anything to go by, I can't think what on Earth you would find of interest on there, given the programme choice you have on other channels.

However, if you do find anything good, do tell us what it is! I am always happy to re-evaluate my views when better evidence is produced.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

STV2 is now broadcasting a barker on Angus transmitter. Despite its Mux being broadcast on a lower power I can receive the Mux on the fringes/outside its coverage area.

No sign of it on my Tivo though so maybe they will be enforcing the official local coverage areas on cable network.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
 

My local theatre still does local advertising during the break. A white screen comes down and local ads are shown from the local shops and business'. Even the bigger shops like Tescos advertise what special deals are going on at the local branch.
