I get rather confused by enthusiasm for channels such as Universal. Having looked at their schedule it seems to primarily consist of endless repeats of three programmes: CSI, NCIS and Law & Order.
How many times do people need to watch this tedious, formulaic junk? |

How many times do people need to watch this tedious, formulaic junk? If you are in doubt about the 'formulaic' try reading this: https://screencraft.org/2016/01/05/t...ision-scripts/ The same stories are simply endlessly retold. |

2. you might like the show enough to watch it again without having to buy the boxset. 3. there are new shows (and some exclusive) on the channel. Quote:

Personally I'm more than happy to watch something in SD if that is the only way I can legally watch it. I was just unhappy with the crap quality of the SD on Universal. |

It seems very odd that VM appear to be gearing up to add Fox News, but not YourTV
![]() Re: The duplicate MTV Live HD. Perhaps this is a test for MTV Classics or a new HD version of an existing SD channel (exclusive?). What other Viacom channels are we missing? Why Spike and 5 Star+1 but no MTV Classic or Nick Jr HD. At least channels are being added though, and while they may not be everyone's cup of tea, VM seem to be taking their TV offering seriously at the moment. |

All very quiet it seems.
All odd - why Pop, Movies 4 Men and Movie Mix, but no Pop Girl, Chart Show etc. Why Spike and 5 Star+1 but no MTV Classic or Nick Jr HD. At least channels are being added though, and while they may not be everyone's cup of tea, VM seem to be taking their TV offering seriously at the moment. |

Movies4Men is the only service currently testing with a video stream, the rest are SDT entries/placeholders on the NIT. The Viacom channels that we are currently missing are: Spike and 5STAR +1 (both already have placeholders) Comedy Central Extra +1 MTV +1 MTV Classic Nick Junior +1 Nick Junior HD |

not to fussed about +1's
but the last MTV is Classic. Sky had a red button thing called MTV Trax dunno if thats still going over in skyland. Andyland is spot on, seems they are gearing up for something. I have a feeling the 4k box might actually be just a modified existing box with a 4k tuner in it. Probably offered in a bigger storage as well. |

Apparently, Hayu TV will be free for a month in December 2016 for all VM customers. This channel is normally only available at no extra cost to XL customers, or at a cost of £3.99 a month. NDTV India and NDTV Spice are said to now be testing video and audio off the EPG, as well as a placeholder appearing for Sky Sports Mix HD. |

The launch date of Sky Sports Mix is the 24th Aug at 12pm. It will show live European Golf, EFL and Cricket in the first week:
This is the schedule for the first 3 days: The live sport on Sky Sports Mix during those 3 days is as follows: Wed 24 Aug: 1.30pm - Live ODI cricket: England v Pakistan Thur 25 Aug: 10.30am - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (1st session) 2.30pm - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (2nd session) Fri 26 Aug: 10.30am - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (1st session) 2.30pm - Live European Tour golf: Made in Denmark (2nd session) 7.00pm - Live EFL: Burton v Derby The channel runs for 24 hours per day so there is also a whole host of highlights and filler programming - including ODI highlights and EFL Cup highlights. The following week. Live sport is as follows: Sat 27 Aug: 8am – Live Rugby Union – New Zealand v Australia 12pm – Live F1 – Belgium GP Qualifying 7.15pm – Live La Liga – Real Madrid v Celta Vigo 12.30am – Live MLS – Toronto v Montreal Sun 28 Aug: 11.30am – Live F1 – Belgium GP Race Thur 1 Sept: 7.30pm – Live Super league – Wigan v Widnes No live sport on Mon 29 Aug, Tue 30 Aug, Wed 31 Aug or Fri 2 Sep. During the 7 days from 27/08/16 to 02/09/16 in addition to the live sport posted above there will be: - European Tour golf highlights - F1 Show - EFL Goals - Goals on Sunday - South Africa v New Zealand Test cricket highlights - England v Pakistan ODI cricket highlights - Netball Superleague Grand Final replay (ie not live) However no PL Game of the Day, Match Choice or PL highlights programmes (other than what is shown within Goals on Sunday). The first 10 days so far suggests that there is going to be a lot of variation - so we just don't know what will be on in subsequent weeks. Looking at the first 5 days (ie Wed 24 Aug to Sun 28 Aug) it's possible they have started very strongly to make an impact and that the amount of live sport will then start to reduce, but we'll have to wait and see. |
