An automated overnight process runs to activate changes

Someone gets to the office and logs on to his computer, loads the appropriate system, then presses an "activation" option?

Well, clearly, it wasn’t the former!

It was late by any standard. People woke up to find it wasn't there.

It wasn’t only Virgin, though, was it? Does it even matter? I would have been happy whatever the time of day it arrived on the appointed date.

Spiderplant explained it succinctly in his post above.

I’m confused here is it free I got tnt with virgin but when I go on the app it trying to say I got to pay for it

TNT is a premium service, so no, it’s not free.

You may be thinking of the free trial, perhaps.

BBC iPlayer is still accessible in the Apps section, so I can't think of any logical reason why it's been removed from the main Channels menu.

Separately to this, on the Virgin TV Go app they've deleted the logos for Comedy Central, Crime+Investigation, Discovery and National Geographic.

Some gremlins in VM"s systems perhaps.

An email telling you you'll get an email... how efficient!

Sorry, meant to say ITV +1.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)

When I was watching MotoGP on TNT they were advertising the Multiview feature on HBO Max. Perhaps they will add additional features to other sports.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)

They had Multiview on Discovery+ for Champions League

Virgin TV gives customers a UHD content boost at no extra cost this spring

Virgin Media O2 is giving Virgin TV customers a special content boost this spring, including a range of family friendly movies and live music performances and documentaries – all in Ultra High Definition (UHD) and at no extra cost.

Virgin TV customers can access Virgin TV Ultra HD channel (228 and 999) in stunning UHD from Saturday 28 March until Sunday 12 April and tune in to enjoy the variety of films and shows this half term. The channels will showcase family-friendly movies, iconic rock and roll gigs and a diverse range of documentaries, advert-free, every evening.

Films and docuseries that will be available include:

Playmobil: The Movie: Starring Daniel Radcliffe, this 2019 live-action/animated musical adventure comedy film is based on the world-famous German toy.

Us: Adelaide Wilson and her family are attacked by mysterious figures dressed in red. Upon closer inspection, the Wilsons realise that the intruders are exact lookalikes of them. Starring Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Elisabeth Moss.

The Invisible Man: When Cecilia’s abusive ex takes his own life and leaves her his fortune, she suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of coincidences turn lethal, Cecilia works to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. Starring Emmy® winner Elisabeth Moss.

Cobra Kai season one: Thirty-four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, the show follows a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso.

The Last Turtles: A documentary and video series documenting the work of Dominica Sea Turtle Conservation Organisation.

Rolling Stones: Olé Olé Olé – A Trip Across Latin America: This film follows The Rolling Stones across South America and Mexico and finally ends with their historical concert in Cuba – documenting the band performing their most famous hits as well as the great difficulties they faced being the first rock and roll band to perform for free in Cuba for many decades.

David Bouchier, Chief TV and Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “Virgin Media’s ultrafast broadband network delivers the best possible way to enjoy crystal-clear TV entertainment, and with the availability of our exclusive UHD channel to all our TV customers at no extra cost over the Easter fortnight, we are hoping to brighten their springtime. The long weekend and school holidays offer an opportunity for many of us to spend some extra quality time together, and we know that our customers will find something fun and informative to enjoy with our latest TV boost.”

The new programming is the latest content boost for Virgin TV customers, with over 40 FAST Channels available – at no extra cost – and the imminent arrival of Sky Atlantic (1 April) for customers who receive Sky Entertainment channels*.

Re: Virgin TV (2026)

in about 5 hours one of the most requested channels in the last 15 years will finally launch. I'd love to see some of those old threads and all the rumours of it coming and then not coming etc haha

Re: Virgin TV (2026)

On Demand content was added right on midnight, Under Salt Marsh seems not to be available On Demand for some reason.

Will be interesting to see if Sky adds more NBCU (Sky sister company) and occasionally Sony back catalogue series to Sky One, Sky Witness and Sky Atlantic in the coming months.
