Wondering if these are actually available here yet and at what price... mentioned in earlier posts VM are testing not needing coax, runs over wireless?

I see CNN has returned to Virgin Media 360 on channel 205 with Replay TV. Also Sky Documentary HD is now on channel 122 with Sky Nature SD on channel 730 and Sky Documentary SD on channel 731 all with Replay TV. Still no BBC 3 though.
Thanks. I presume it's CNN SD, like before it was removed?
Also, why are channels launching in the 700's, that's for SD variants of HD channels?? There's now 3 channels in that genre, W / Sky Crime / Sky Nature with no HD version in the 100's
It looks like CNN SD to me.
I wonder is it purely a financial reason that Virgin Media Ireland keep going with SD and not HD. I can't see bandwidth being an issue. Great to have CNN back and with replay function but no HD in 2022.
It is back on Horizon/Mediaboxes too.
CNN looks HD tonight
Yes CNN must be HD now. The text etc. looks so much clearer to when it last went off our Virgin Media Ireland Tv screens.
It is on my Horizon box but it is not on my HD media box. Either are the two other channels.
All 4 have started to add HD content during the week. I found the content through search and not in the All 4 app. Maybe its different on the 360 boxes.
It's possible your HD media box is not on the correct subscription package that you have on the Horizon box. You would need to ring them and hopefully get an agent knowledgeable. In fact twitter is probably a better option if you have it to reach out to them and get it sorted.
I might be wrong but it's definitely a possibility.
I have every non premium channel (sports,movies) , just not the 3 new channels. I did a factory reset in case my box missed the cue to add the new streams but it didn't change anything.
I am going to ring them up to see what they say as i cant think of a reason why the HD media box wouldn't be supported .
According to the Autumn eNews email
New channels have arrived on Virgin Media Television! Uncover the story behind the story with Sky Documentaries on Virgin TV 122, get closer to the nature with Sky Nature on Virgin TV 730 and find the latest breaking news with CNN on Virgin TV 205, just sit back and enjoy!
This must be the first time they have actually advertised channel launches which is good news. Although above the text has the 3 channel logos, Sky Docs is the only one with a HD logo. Are we 100% sure CNN is in HD? To check, press the info button on a live programme and at the very bottom the Quality will say SD or HD beside Subtitles/Audio/Country
In the info on the 360 box it says SD but it's definitely HD..cnn is probably one of my most watched channels over the years and you notice it straight away when you put it on..a huge difference from the previous cnn from before they withdrew to do their own failed subscription app thing
Thanks for that. It's labelled CNN too, rather than CNN HD on the 360 box. God, can VM get anything right
I see Sky Nature HD is now on channel 121.
is Disney+ available on Virgin TV360 in Ireland? Conflicting info from googling.
No it’s not. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube are available on Virgin TV360.
Thanks.
I thought so. Virgin media ireland and Disney+ Keywords in google indicates yes but I had a feeling it was just feeding me Virgin UK search results regardless.
205 now renamed CNN HD
I'll be surprised if Disney+ is not added before end off 2023.
I see BBC Two NI has been replaced by BBC Two England, presumably due to it closing on satellite on the 24th.
Virgin media always had BBC2 HD ENGLAND and BBC W ni on SD
My point is that now it’s BBC2 England for both HD and SD. With the EPG still showing NI schedules
I presume its the same for BBC1 SD on D4A boxes
Good spot regarding BBC Two SD no longer carrying the NI version on 709. It probably would more sense to carry the NI HD version on 109 and remove 709 as there's no 708 for BBC One SD. But VM have decided to not carry the NI version in either format
What’s odd is that they still have the BBC Two NI schedule on the EPG for channel 709. I suspect they will carry the HD version of BBC Two NI in due course but I hope they don’t as I prefer having the English version.
Yes much prefer English version but then I'd much prefer having ITV1 and ITV2 as well and that certainly won't happen. I'd imagine 109 will have the NI HD version soon.
Presumably VM are getting their feeds from Sky, BBC Two NI SD closed the other day and was replaced with the UK wide version of BBC Two SD
BBC Two NI HD launched on Freesat and Sky on the 5th January and has been available on Freeview and Virgin Media in Northern Ireland well before that. I really don't know why VM here are so slow to update the EPG
Another example is 662 which stil hasn't reverted back to 'The Box' - both the logo and title are BoXmas, same goes for BT Sport 4 SD/HD and a good few more
360 Box updated to Version 4.45 today
The fact that you have to pay more for BT and Premier Sport and then the channels are not named correct looks particularly poor and reflects badly on Virgin Media Ireland.
The Irish League Show is currently on BBC Two NI. Anyone with a series record for the show is going to be very disappointed :)
Funny enough,my V360 won't let me series record A place in the sun on Ch4,only happened since last week.
