I’m very sure you will need to be Lovefilm Instant subscriber to access the service

You will ;)

It good to see Virgin Media has found 'Red' a new home after selling Virgin1 to Sky.

The Virgin1's old knitted mascot 'Red' was seen by Media Boy HQ on Tiddlers TV when it was added to Virgin Channel 700 at 1am last night.

That's the red animal that I was referring to earlier. The "coming soon" slate was replaced by this on and off all afternoon. I am pretty sure I saw it move at one point, which reminded me of the old teletext moving graphics :D

I'm not sure I welcome the LoveFilm news. I was holding out a feint hope that Netflix would be included in a bundle, but there cannot be any way that both Netflix AND LoveFilm will be included so I think that probably puts paid to the chance of just one of them being.
