I wonder why? You'd think that they would add it to their own apps on TiVo! As it stands, it appears to be only for external devices.

Perhaps the content is already available in some other place on the V6?

Further info:

Rishtey Cineplex is testing on EPG slot 828, flagged as "Entertainment", presumably that will be changed to "International" before launch, in line with other channels in that section of the 800s. It has pack flags for Mix, M+, L/Fun & XL/Full House. Scan data indicated that video and audio streams have been rolled out across the national network.

Looks like it's now VM policy to deny customers any new launches on the M/Player packs. I think that this channel has now gone behind a paywall, but they are even doing this to channels on Freeview!

Each to their own I say. If there wasn't demand the broadcasters wouldn't do it. Pretty sure BARB ratings rise for these channels when they switch to Christmas movies.
There are plenty of other film channels to watch instead.

There's been a claim that GOLD advertised themselves as being on Freeview this morning:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...5#post35915415

Did anyone else see or record this or does anyone else know anything about this?

If correct, I wonder if VM will move it down to the M/Player packs. Doubt it, they will probably move it down to M+/Mix if it isn't in these already.

There's been rumours floating around that it was going fta and on freeview.
