those two are on my web player and streamable. Weird.

scotchy · 02-06-2021 01:34AM

Not that page, the "TV guide" page.

Look's like they are updating it and haven't finished yet.

Delta2113 · 02-06-2021 12:29PM

A new LiveScore app on the 360 box be nice. We can only dream.

are the 'missing' channels at the very bottom of the list, I had that before.

It can also be the profile you are in.

Fair play, just reset to default and all OK.

OK, everyone can stand down now:o

Seems to be a few logo's have been updated.

TCM movies disappears when I log in.

Hopefully they put the channel number back in with the logo's like it was years ago, I use this page for my what's on, its not always easy to find the station you want when you find something you want to watch.

It looks like they are adding replay TV to the online guide.

Got the 360 box today, it's so much better than the horizon box, the remote control is beautiful and a joy to use. Well done VM.

I see they've disabled the ability to record the six o'clock news on series link, which was handy,you now have to record each episode each day.Yet the nine o'clock one still has series link on it, they'll probably do that one next.Also no replay option on rte2 for the Euros,pity.

Delta2113 · 13-06-2021 01:18PM

One o'clock news also still has series link.

I must say the lack of consistency with regards RTE and the replay option - it seems to vary from week to week. Not acceptable to me when you are paying for this.

Had to manually intervene to get Casualty recorded last night on BBC1 - in the past I have been impressed with how they have updated the guide so quick with last minute changes.

The lack of fast forward on RTE is a disgrace but that's RTE pushing that.

BBC4,CNN,CNBC really need this stuff in HD. GB News available on www.gbnews.uk/watchlive as a work around as not yet on Virgin Media Ireland. I doubt if I'll watch it much. Watched Darren McCaffrey the other night on The Tonight Show and it was obvious the new 'slant' from him with his new employer.

The replay inconsistency is also RTE shenanigans.

This is probably a really stupid question. I'm terrible with technical stuff. The TV usually doesn't play live tv. A notice comes up to say 'check the cables'. Thing is, the TV is far from the hub and entry wall socket. Does the blue tipped cable need to go into the 360 box to get live TV?

As I understand it you need a feed from the co-ax cable into the box to get live TV.

Strawberry Swan · 17-06-2021 05:35PM

Thank you. What do you mean by feed?

A co-ax cable needs to connect into the tv box.

Just looking ahead on TV guide and from Thursday next Fox HD says channel no longer available, another one bites the dust,yet the prices keep going up.

Compare and contrast with the amount of channels (and the relatively low price) for our UK cousins.

We are subsidising them and their bigger TV channel selection.

Fox closing isn’t VM’s fault, Disney has changed strategy and Disney+ is now it’s outlet for all the stuff that used to be on Fox. It’s closing in the U.K. too (exact same channel).

Liberty now only owns 50% of Virgin Media U.K., it’s now 50% owned by Telefonica since the start of the month. They are going to be doing their own separate things in the future and the Irish operation may end up sold to someone else. It’s not like Sky where the U.K. and Irish operations are completely integrated with each other.

Liberty owned 100% of VM before and still treated the irish as second class citizens.

The horrible thing about a lot of these and other companies is that they treat the UK and Ireland as one geographical unit when it comes to management, but then give the Irish a dumbed down version of whatever they are selling in the UK, add on a few extra quid, and tell us how grateful we should be for getting it in the first place.

+1 no different to what has been happening for years with the likes of cars. But it's not always the fault of John Bull or Johnny Foreigner.

For years, right-hand drive cars manufactured for the UK and Irish markets were produced to different specs, usually with goodies like electric windows and/or A/C omitted from cars destined for the Irish market.

In each case, the decision to under spec the Irish models would have been made by the Irish distributor. Who knew that we were prepared to pay the same or more for an inferior product. And we did.

Which sports channels are you referring to? AFAIK sky don't have 4k channels, only 4k red button type feeds for specific ad-hoc events.
