Virgin TV360

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?

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

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.

CNN looks HD tonight

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.

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 .

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

I see Sky Nature HD is now on channel 121.

No it’s not. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube are available on Virgin TV360.

205 now renamed CNN HD

I see BBC Two NI has been replaced by BBC Two England, presumably due to it closing on satellite on the 24th.

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

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.

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 Irish League Show is currently on BBC Two NI. Anyone with a series record for the show is going to be very disappointed :)
