Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
Look like Sky Cinema Hits HD was moving about on Virgin Media last night as it was my box for an hour.
The last time it happen was the time Zee Channels was moved and the Zee channels you need to pay extra for was on my box for an hour as well.
I do not pay for Sky Cinema or Zee.

Well spotted.
The changes are:
Spanish Tier, Portuguese Tier, French Tier, Polish Tier and Russian Tier move from Transport Stream 1, Service IDs 117, 118, 119, 120 & 123 to Transport Stream 104 Service IDs 10457, 10458, 10459, 10460 & 10461 respectively.
There are further services set up on TS 104, so more of this migration to follow.
TS ID 8 Service 801 has changed its service name from TalkingPicturesTV to Talking Pictures.
Any other service name changes were temporary re-brands, which I will continue to ignore.
Sky Hits HD moves from TS ID 23 SID 2303 to TS ID 24 SID 2404.
4SevenHD moves from TS ID 35 SID 3503 to TS ID 38 SID 3803.
No major changes for VM customers, just more channels playing the game of musical chairs.

I look forward to this and lots of new on demand (including UHD) coming to our screens this year. If this doesn't happen, I will be very disappointed with VM.

You always seem to be disappointed with Virgin Media OB but l cannot understand for the life of me why as don't you espouse that your TV viewing consist of mainly streaming , streaming and more streaming.

I want VM to be a successful company, making good profits, so it can give us more choice and afford the best technology to provide to its customers. The scandal of those cranky old Tivo boxes must never be allowed to happen again.
Streaming apps would be an essential aspect of the strategy that I would propose, which should please everyone. For example, Pluto tv is a streaming service with a range of live channels on it, which are not available on Sky. Much more of this sort of thing would be very popular, and Pluto tv is free!

It will have a really good appeal to the You Tube generation. There's something there for most tastes - politics, music, comedy. Worth having, IMHO.

They could have made it 90 minutes so you could have watched a complete film

Oh, right ; sorry, I misread your post.
What I meant was that I'd like to see many apps loaded onto the V6s, with free, pay per view and subscription based apps available.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
A Sky Source has confirm to MB HQ that "Looks like the Daily Mail rumour was almost correct, about 2 months before Sky staff were told... Look out for more info on or after 13th July."
