The last time I tried to use it, channels on the Clubland AKA app were so far out of sync that it was unwatchable (this needs fixing).

It seems to have been resolved from what virgin said to me and link is not active

Although it's fair to say that all the music videos shown on these channels are available via the You Tube app on the Tivos.
Agree with you on the UHD, but that wasn't available on Sky Q originally straight after it launched either. If you are expecting Sky or BT UHD channels on VM in the near future, you are even more of an optimist than I am! Virgin's UHD will have to come from other providers, methinks, at least in the short term.

I get there but if we rule out sky or bt for UHD, but what other providers is there that don't cost a fortune on a pay per view basis

I asked virgin media about the virgin media store but they know nothing about it, I asked why we can't use TV anywhere to access on demand like itv fox and many more then download compared to the next new version of sky go and they said they are different and TV anywhere is ahead of its time

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)
If you want apps , there are plenty of reasonable options out there, rather than wait for VM to add them.

UHD wasn't available initially on SkyQ because nothing was broadcast in UHD at the time.
This is not the case presently as sky broadcast football and F1 in UHD - they just don't allow Virgin to carry it.
BT show football and Rugby Union in UHD but not broadcast - you need BT tv and Internet.

Exactly it's a fair point, I think it will come maybe 2019 three years after launch and at a few also. It should really be a v6 box with UHD from YouTube or Netflix at £118 a year. I'm not a fan of sky but they do lead in uhd, if you want 4k then virgin media ain't a solution
