111 does not even appear in V6 EPGs - don't know about their VMGo apps

We have a V6, and while it’s not on the TV Control App, it is on the VM Go app - and can be clicked through to, and it’s showing a promo reel.

Saw a yt vid on the Virgin media stream and tbh i'm impressed so may get it when i'm done with SKY, my only issue is you need vm bb but that is allegedly changing in the future.

Yes i know shocking me praising vm a bit lol.

I hope that it's not just being allowed as a taster before going live to encourage people to change to 360/Stream, but it does sound like good news for V6 users.

Aside from mirroring to the TV from the app it's also possible to use the browser version (https://virgintvgo.virginmedia.com/) on a computer and connect to the TV using HDMI.

Just like Sky Sports +, it will magically appear on V6 in due course.... Otherwise advertiser's won"t be pleased.

I agree, even if not, if it remains on TV Go after launch, this could be why Sky saud it would be available to 3m customers.

From 1 April, Sky Atlantic will be available to all new and existing customers who already receive, or choose to add, Sky Entertainment channels with their package and have a Virgin TV Stream box or Virgin TV 360

Per the vmo2 press release it's pretty clear that sky Atlantic will be available for 360/Stream customers. I reckon some are reading too much into the TV go addition today. It could end up as a barker for Atlantic for V6 or else disappear altogether.

It's because the channel is now going to lose viewers after the loss of new HBO material. Letting Virgin have it helps to shore up it's viewing figures (and thus advertising revenue.)

Maybe nothing but That's TV 3 is set to close at 6am on March 25th - base on my V6 Box.

I've just tested by adding CH4 to my Sport profile, and then adding Googlebox to that watchlist. The program appeared under the watchlist on the Home screen on the Sport profile, but didn't show under the watchlist on the Shared profile.

Yes, I have separate profiles and added the show under my wife’s profile, but despite doing this a few times, it just doesn’t work. It’s the only programme I’m having a problem with, and wondered if C4 had added it incorrectly.
