Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Under the Dome, channel 5 (and hd), Monday 19th August recurring. Post apocalyptic American stuff, might be worth a look.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

BBC News. 6pm. BBC One. Am I missing something?

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Midlands Today - BBC One Midlands 6:30pm (not in HD). Super excited for this!

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

It was developed by Brian K Vaughan, it most definitely will be worth a look.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

The Midwives BBC 2 HD 21.00 to 22.00 20th August

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I love this thread already, forget that hidden gems can be broadcast on non free to air channels!

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Credit to Den, great idea for a thread.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

This is also a good way to see what's coming up.

Oh Denphone! I believed in you as an agent of all that is good and right, and now I find you are merely copying the dark master.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

You should sue him :D:D

It seems Den wants to be the new master but sadly for him there is only one master. All hail out dark master

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

So thy masters training did come in handy after all.:D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Cheers, good link.

I've got last night's Low Winter Sun recorded so will give it a go later, and the first series of Top Boy was very good so hopefully series 2 will be worthwhile.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Thy master and l have been having diplomatic talks at the highest level lately.:handshake:Yes::D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Will what comes out of them be included in the XL TV package or will it be a separate charge? Got to hold out Den for the XL option ;):D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Britain's Big Wildlife Revival BBC1 HD 17.35 TO 18.35 18TH August

The Incredible Spice Men BBC2 HD 20.30 to 21.00 19th August

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Low Winter Sun started well I thought, if you can get past Lennie James awful American accent!

I'm going to give Chickens (on Sky 1, 22/8/13 AT 2130hrs) a go. Sky's comedy has been a bit hit and miss but when they've got it right it's been decent. Channel 4 passed on this so will be interesting to see if Sky have got one over on them.

---------- Post added at 09:58 ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 ----------

Bates Motel, Universal (probably not in HD but that's for another thread!!!) 2100 hours, 12th September. Obviously related to Psycho and already renewed for a second series.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

The first episode is available On Demand , I gave it a go and have to admit I found it awful I never laughed once.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Must admit Low Winter Sun started well.....mind you so did Banshee!!!!:shocked:

Come on Howard you have an excellent search feature on the TIVO use it , I shouldn't have to tell you that. :D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I watched Low Winter Sun- thought it was ok- i have set a series link- worth another look.

Under the Dome starts on channel 5 Monday 19 August. This is quite good- i am watching this currently on CBS via a VPN.

Republic of Doyle starts again on Alibi (Monday 2 September)- this is a great show. Canadian private detective with a touch of humour- i like it.

True Blood returns to FOX Monday 30 September.

I am a bit of a US tv fan- there are some interesting shows due to premiere in new Fall Season. One show i am looking to see which Uk channel picks it up is ABC's Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (premieres in the States 24 September)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I checked earlier and it isn't, so will have to wait until Thursday. I've lowered my expectations in light of Muppetman's opinion!

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Getting cheeky my little friend:) isn't on must be a sky exclusive :):
But from muppetman11 review its probably a good thing :D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Great book but disappointing adaptation IMO.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

It's very good i'm watchingthis at cbs pace it's slow to start but picks up. All i'm going to say is stick with it :)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Agree ;)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I'll be amazed if that goes anywhere other than Sky ;)

Sorry mate according to this its unsold in the UK

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Channel 5 are rumoured to have secured the broadcast rights to marvels agents of shield in the united kingdom. According to an article i found on geektown.co.uk that someone posted up on that website.

We might found out at the end of this week because this thursday 22nd til 24th August 2013 its the edingborugh television festival from the guardian newspaper. Bosses from BskyB, UKTV, BBC, ITV, CHANNEL 4, CHANNEL 5 and DISCOVERY etc will be there.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Well if they do get it, they'd better not treat it like Person of Interest, where we are a full season behind in the UK.


One thing you can say in Sky's favour is that they started the trend of showing US shows close to the US air date. which they do for many of their US acquisitions. They are still behind on a few though; e.g. why have they only just started showing the third season of Nikita?

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Gold Divers Discovery HD 22.00 to 23.00 20th August

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I will be pleased if any channel i can get acquires S.H.I.E.L.D as long as i can watch it though it would be nice if i can watch it not long after it airs in the US and not 6-12 months later- I might have to watch via VPN if not.

i agree Persons of Interest is a great show as well - i only stumbled upon it by chance- Channel 5 gave it no promotion at all. Hopefully the next season should be on C5 before too long along with Sons of Anarchy.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

You obviously haven't read the book. This is not a post apocalyptic story.

I haven't read the book, and don't know the premise. But, despite knowing little about it I think it will be worth trying out.

Channel 4 acquires UK rights to 'Marvel's Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' http://www.tvwise.co.uk/2013/08/chan...f-s-h-i-e-l-d/

It'll probably end up on Sky when they realise how popular it's become on C4.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

So the dark lord got it wrong again it seems :nono::waving::D but yes nn l will certainly put that on my series record when it arrives.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

What we putting on series record Den ? Even I the great master can't always be right just 90-95% of the time :D what did I get wrong ?

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)

Rizzoli&Isles Season 4 Episode 1 tonight at 9pm on Alibi HD.

Trollied Season 3 Episode 1 tonight at 9pm on Sky One HD

American Underworld tonight at 9pm on Discovery HD.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

The 1st and the 3rd on your list are interesting but frankly the second in your list Trollied is not for us as its a terrible series.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Like MM, I'm surprised that it didn't go to Sky. I imagine that Sky aren't too pleased. But it is better for the British public as it will get a wider audience.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Some new series I will be recording next week include 'What Remains' (BBC1 Sunday 9pm); 'Place of Execution' (ITV3 Monday 10pm); 'Wentworth Prison' (Channel 5 Wednesday 10pm).

Some films worth seeing (in my opinion) are 'Jack Reacher' (Sky Premiere Saturday to Thursday 8pm); 'Haywire' (Sky Crime/Thriller Saturday 9pm); 'Lockout'(Sky Showcase Wednesday 11.35pm); 'Tower Heist' (Sky Comedy Wednesday 9.30pm).

Those of you with TIVO boxes devoid of sufficient recordings might like to set this lot to record and if you do this every week, you will soon find that you are running out of space!

Incidentally, my list does not include some of the stuff my wife likes, which will include next week 'Vera' (ITV Sunday 8pm); 'Cold Comfort Farm' (Drama Sunday 11pm);'The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2013' (BBC1 Monday 6.30pm); 'Anna Kerenina' (Sky Premiere Friday to Thursday 9pm).

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Channel 4 Have also Picked Up Hostages Starring Toni Collette From Muriel's Wedding and Dylan Mc Dermott From American Horror Story.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I think ITV2 will get The Originals as it'd sit perfectly alongside The Vampire Diaries.

The Railway: First Great Western Channel 5 HD 20.00 to 21.00 29th August

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I set the series link. Tried both methods quick and long winded. The series link logo does not appear next to the programme but in manage my series links the programme link is there but in planning it's not. I have had to set the programme to record on it's own. Did a reboot thinking it was a fault with the box but no change.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

So what do you get if you try to view Upcoming episodes from Manage My Series Links?

Is there anyone else in the Midlands who can try this?

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Thought I'd missed this, but it's on tonight (28th)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Sorry my mistake.:)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

I get the info list of the different channels it's going to broadcast on but it does not highlight the episodes that are series linked. I have had to manually do it. Not a major problem unless I start to loose my memory and forget to record it. Can't find episode one anywhere to view as I was on holiday. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

...and it will probably be cancelled pretty quickly when they realise how expensive it will be to produce. If it doesn't get fifty million viewers per episode it will lose out to yet another cheap reality tv show.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

You could use a WishList instead. That will work even if the links are broken.

Channel 5 have picked up first run rights to American Drama Betrayal which starts this September 2013 on ABC in America and Early 2014 on Channel 5. Also Channel 5 have also picked up Second run rights to the final Season of Body of Proof as well.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

The one time I wish Tivo behaved like V+ and forgot the link each time a new series started :D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Not my cup of tea from the looks of it, but Channel 5 do actually have some decent programming in amongst the dross. Have now seen the first two episodes of Under the Dome and so far there's enough for me to stay with it.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Thursday, September 26th in the US. When Sky show it is a different matter.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Peaky Blinders starts on BBC Two on the 12th September.

"This epic gangster drama is set on the lawless streets of Birmingham on the cusp of the 1920s. Starring Hollywood actor Cillian Murphy in his first major TV role, this original six-part BBC2 series is sure to be a hit with fans of Scorsese’s Boardwalk Empire. The title comes from the name of a violent gang, notorious for using razors hidden in the peaks of their caps as weapons."

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Excellent news big bear.

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Still no news about MNF as soon as I hear anything I wil post the details.:D

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

thanks for the info mate.I am happy with Channel 4 (HD) coverage. i see it says Channel 4 have exclusive terrestrial rights in the UK for NFL. That means BBC wont have MNF.

That isnt that much of a loss imo - i thought the BBC didnt present it well. Sticking on he Red Button when they could just as easily put it on BBC2 HD or even BBC3 or BBC4.

As ESPN hold the US rights to MNF ,and with Sky showing 2 earlier Sunday games, and go out on a limb and suggest MNF will be on ESPN UK (in HD!!)
free if you have the XL pack :)

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)
 

Good news for NFL fans.
