These have been available on my Stream box since Monday. Selecting them opens the Pluto TV app and streams the channels.

Sorry, but I really don't see the fascination with FAST channels. However, if they fill a gap in the market, good luck to them. Personally, I find them third rate, but that's just my opinion.

I wonder if the FAST channels will still be operating in 20 years' time?

Channels has not launch on TiVo or V6 Boxes.

Some channels may only launch on TV360 or Virgin Stream boxes going forward.

Well, it is only a mechanism to launch selected channels from the EPG, the channels are still there in the Pluto app for anyone wishing to watch them on a V6 box. It does make you think though, how long was it since Virgin said that various Pluto channels were to be integrated with the EPG? Months after the announcement they only manage a partial launch. ;)

Richard assuming again ?

His question was ;

Quote:

Do you know if/when people will be forcibly migrated from V6 to 360?
So the response of 'Yes' does no confirm their will be a migration at all.

No. Don’t confuse FAST channels with the main conventional channels we are used to.

What's the difference? :confused:

You yourself a mere 15 months ago were waxing lyrical about their position in the future over tired, boring, linear channels.
