Do VM customers not have access to this already? I know a mate of mine pays £10 a month and he has Virgin TV or can you watch online too?

Hats are not very popular in our household.

Which is exactly what I fed back to them.
If you don't tell them then they don't know what to change.

I said every time I have tried to do something online it either isn't possible or that when it is it doesn't work for me and says something like we can't change your account at this time please call.

You subscribe to WWE online at the moment or through apps on smart tvs and boxes, as far as i know only ROGERS in Canada have the WWE Network as a subscription on their cable pvr boxes.

It clearly looks like they are trying to gauge for a more online offering for signing up or reducing services or just any changes in general.

Thanks- just done the survey

Guess we'll have to see if it arrives on VM. It's the sort of app they've been going after recently.

I doubt it will launch on virgin for a good reason. The bloody PPV because sky make a good deal of profit, and virgin make some money. So if the existing die hard PPV customers move over to WWE Network then sky and virgin lose money. Well sky would just put up there channels to cover PPV loses therefore hurting none PPV customers and for Virgin as in the words of Stephanie and triple H, that is not what is "best for business ". If you remember sky fought wwe because originally wwe was going to show up to date raw and snack down. Sky stood there ground and that's why it's 4 weeks behind with episodes and originally sky was wanting it on there boxes but I think it was £12.99 a month so can't see it happening, unless Virgin does a deal to protect sky pricing

Not quite as WWE Network is global, sky have no say on it at all, wwe network already shows every ppv live, the reason raw and smackdow aren't live on the network is because WWE get bigmoney from usa network, sky etc so it'd be silly to put them live on the network, this may all change though when contracts come to a end.
SKY has nxt WWE network shows that live.
WWE Network is £9.99p/m regardless of what SKY,VM want.

Hi no disrespect intended but wwe network was delayed in uk over sky, by nearly 6 months. In America there is no delay of raw and smackdown just U.K. Sky did try get some sort of uk exclusive

RAW and smackdow is indeed delayed in the USA on the network, i know this as i use a usa vpn/address for wwe network.
My apologies too you are indeed correct WWE Network was delayed in the uk due to SKYs contract, but now SKY have no say at all as far as i'm aware.
I was with WWE Network from the day it launched in USA and RAW and Smackdown has always had a 4 week delay, most likely due to it being on USA network, well at the time Smackdown was on syfy but now it's on USA network along with RAW.

Again, really the only channel here that has new content worthy of having is Sky Atlantic. The rest are mainly repeat channels, and I've removed the +1 channels because they're not exactly necessary. HD channels are always good to have of course, not faulting that suggestion, although again really the only one of any worth is Universal Channel HD.

One in that list that I do think would be a good addition is Horse & Country TV. Not because I'm interested in that subject myself, but because it is serving a niche that other channels aren't.

AMC isn't coming anytime soon. That's a BT exclusive.
