Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
I never meant VM , all providers increase costs when their content costs increase. Whether you like Premier League football or not it's odds on your paying for it on platforms that carry the Sports channels.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
a516Digital is reporting that TiVo and V6 viewers will get 15 live HD Streams during the Wimbledon fortnight.
All other viewers will get up to six SD streams (5 new one if you take away Red Button 1). MB HQ think we have work out the channels numbers for the new red button channels for Summer 2017: 990. BBC Red Button HD* 991. BBC Red Button 1 992. BBC Red Button 2* 993. BBC Red Button 3* 994. BBC Red Button 4* 995. BBC Red Button 5* 996. BBC Red Button 6* *Means channels numbers to be confirmed and will launch as soon as June 23rd. Full information at http://www.a516digital.com/2017/06/b...reams-for.html |

6 will be on all Virgin Media boxes.
15 will be on TiVo OR V6 boxes*. *you will need to "Press Red" to watch 9 streams. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
So I'd expect that means the extra streams on TiVo and V6 are via the BBC Red Button+ i.e are via the broadband connection and not broadcast streams.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
BBC apps on both TiVo and V6 use HLS adaptive streaming as far as I'm aware - this is why you get the 'Best Quality' video option in the BBC apps:
