I can’t believe there isn’t an award for smoking out Old Boy’s latest goal post shift as he got himself into contortions over the word “linear”.

Not sure how I won that. Oops. :D

Sony Channel +1 still exists on other platforms, just not VM by the way.

When I was glancing over the list the others looked like services that had closed everywhere and I thought I was picking out the one that different. On a second look there are others I could have grouped with it.

No I can't believe it wasn't OldBoy or Jfman they must do 210 posts a week

And the latter with the apparent sole intention of antagonising other members.

The linear/streaming chat gets diluted across the many, many threads OB started on the same subject.

Really you have far to much time on your hands , saying that I am retired and normally home alone. Granddaughter with me for Xmas as she can't get home . So it's just Oxford to Cardiff instead of both of us going stateside. Glad she pick Oxford over John Hopkins !

04) Best new SD Channel launch of the year:
Winner is - COLORS HD (Did launch November 26th)
Media Boy, is this a typo? It seems to suggest an HD channel won the SD channel award.

I didn't, a quick glance told me all I needed to know.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 
JJ20X on Forum Box has posted that the pack code for Virgin Media Ulta HD Channel has changed to M/Player and Above.

I can confirm that Channel 999 is now not greyed out for me, so it looks like all VM TV customers are getting access to it now. JJ20X said it was a pack code change rather than an override, so that bodes well, in my opinion, for it being more likely to be permanent. I'd imagine VM themselves will confirm that if it is the case.

---------- Post added at 15:58 ---------- Previous post was at 15:53 ----------

I forgot, JJ20X specifically said 4K versions of those tiers. So maybe not all customers have this pack code flag on their TV account.

BenMcr 18-12-2020 16:09
Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 
There aren't 4K or non-4K versions of TV packs.

Access to 4K content is dependent on whether you have a V6 or 360 box or not. Older TiVo boxes can't decode the channels at all.
