I also would just like to add my thanks to MB and all others who give us what they know.

if we waited for official announcements we'd already be watching them.

News regarding a Music on Demand search application.

Quote:
we will be introducing a Music on Demand search application, and it's currently scheduled for Q2. It looks great!

I'm also aware that we are working to integrate Music on Demand into the normal search functionality as well, though the App will be introduced before then. Both will make finding music much easier.

Yes MB does do a wonderful job and l think l am right in that the prices have gone up from today and without any new channels added.

Of course, they don't go down when channels are removed either

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.

Okay, it's not rocket science, but it's a good point when people complain that "so-and-so channel has disappeared so we should get a price reduction".

I answer with "yes, but it only if you don't mind the price going up every time they add any channels".

They seem to disappear after that.

Out of curiosity though I would love to know what channel provider gets how much money out of say the XL subscription pot?

I'm sure it isn't fixed - so a popular channel that attracts viewers to XL will get more than a channel which most people wouldn't look twice at.

It's something I've always been curious about too but something we will probably never learn. Comedy Central + 1 and ESPN are both only in the XL package. Surely both channels don't get an equal slice of the XL pie? I'd imagine viewing figures must play part in who gets what also. Actually when looking through the XL package, there are some channels that are XL only that I wouldn't mind seeing go...... if it freed up money to land other channels such as SKY Atlantic or Premier Sports. For me the likes of The Horror Channel, Liverpool TV, Motors TV, Current TV, Travel & Living plus TV5 can all go. I've never watched any of those channels.

Yes l agree most of these other channels are useless but l suspect Virgin got them quite cheaply when they signed the carriage agreements.
