Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

I had asked virgin about a letter I received regards a fixed price 2 year deal on offer, it says upgrade or renew. But sadly the information ain’t correct. Virgin don’t know anything about it but said it sounds like a new customer deal only from sales

Although always sceptical of anything customer services tell me about what may be coming in the future, I think this one has a ring of truth about it.

I'm not so sure about Sky Sports UHD, though, at least for the first couple of years. If we did get that for the coming season, I think it will be at a high price.

What a resounding success the old telly tablet was as one suspects at £299 as one suspects they had to bring in extra stock after they sold out like hotcakes.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Hey guys, MB,

I've been away for a few days, any news on those 4/5 DNPs? Sorry if it's already been posted or nothing has changed.

Interesting news regarding the BT Sports 4K channel. Would be great if there was some truth in that

Would make sense if they want more viewers etc I can't imagine too many BT customers watch it given the minimum internet speed needed is around 45Mbps my area is one of those that has infinity but only up to 40Mbps

3) Virgin Media UK are in talks with Sky.
4) Is subject to an NDA - but this may come online via Virgin Media UK EPG before 2018 (Tests are to start in August).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Virgin Media Channel 106 (BBC Three) EPG is now saying "Red Button will be taken off on 14th August"

Will BBC Three be axe from Virgin UK Channel 106?

If so will that mean that Local TV will move from Virgin UK Channel 159 to Virgin UK Channel 106?

Will that mean:

-FOX HD moves from Virgin UK Channel 199 to Virgin UK Channel 159?

And we feel:

-Dave Ja Vu may move from Virgin Channel 211 to Virgin Channel 191.
-W HD may move from Virgin Channel 191 to Virgin Channel 194.
-Dave HD may move from Virgin Channel 194 to Virgin Channel 199.

More if we get it but something is set to happen on August 14th.

Yes, a bit of joined up thinking required on BT's part, I think!

Is your view based on the expiry date of the existing contract, theone? Are you sure there is not a re-negotiation going on? I would have thought that VM would be looking at getting as much UHD as possible following reports in the media and on review sites criticising the lack of UHD content on the platform.
