Virgin has around 3 million subscribers i believe, so quite a few people will be missing out

If you're using a cheap product, then don't be surprised if it's not as good. The channel is obviously in it's fledging days, Rome wasn't built in a day

They've had months to sort it out though. Plus, they then salvage it by putting the stream on which got a lot of praise. Only for them to do it as a one off and not carry it on. Very strange

Yes!

At some, as yet undetermined, point in the near future the channel will be encrypted and is said to incur a £10 a month charge. Click "Join" on the channels website for more details.

Primetime IS on Virgin. Whenever they have an event its always on the On Demand function.

Took them long enough though (I was just going on what a previous poster had said on this thread)

That's exactly the point I was trying to make when lambasted for my pomposity.

People do not pay out in advance for something uncertain, purely based on 2 weeks of past success. Put it another way, are people going to be willing to pay out based on FWP output on sky over the last 2 years? A period that's seen one or two very good nights, a lot of decent saturday night cards but also a fair amount of filler.

Surely if this Allegedly channel venture is to be successful then they need to make it accessible to everyone (I'm not into all this online streaming sh*t, i prefer being sat on the comfy sofa with a beer in hand )??

I don't know what the split is in the Uk between households having Virgin or Sky but i dont think IMO they'll be a massive difference so potentially they are making the service unavailable to half the population??? NOT A GOOD START!!!

I thought there were lots more Sky users than Virgin users.

Didn't Virgin users have the same issue with Primetime?? There's a pattern here Virgins
