The TV Edit webpage suggests not only My5 and Pluto, but All4 too.

Not showing on my box yet.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Nor on our box either as maybe there was a unexpected hitch or something else perhaps.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

The VM TV Edit page about this has now been updated. They've removed references to My5, Pluto and All4!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Strange that as why put it in there in the first place.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

It's good news if All 4 and My5 are finally being added to Virgin TV, joining the existing BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub apps. It's pretty poor that it's taken this long to add them considering they've been on Freeview Play for many years.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Not everyone has ITV Hub, Scotland has STV Player but the other ITV channels are still via Virgin Media's On-Demand systems.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

I think they simply jumped the gun! Nice to think this is just around the corner.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

l suspect a price rise is just around the corner too OB.;)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Oafcourse it is VM love charging for content that is free expect a £5p/m+ price rise very soon.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

With most channels only showing repeats,as there is a lack of new series being filmed because of the virus, it will be very difficult for Virgin to justify a price increase this year.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Can anybody really see drama's,soaps,etc being filmed anytime in the near future?.Every actor/character social distancing,no touching,face masks,maybe gloves.Not to be too pessimistic it means tons of repeats which will put the bbc in pole position!.

Coronation Street bosses plan return to filming as episodes are running out

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Well they can composite many scenes. Film it once for every actor and combine them all. Won't work for everything, obviously scenes where touching is required won't work.

There's an infamous scene in the final The Good Wife where they made a scene like this. They said for scheduling reasons, but there were long standing reports that the two actors didn't get along.

Orphan Black had the same actor up to 7 or 8 times in some scenes as they were all played by the same person. They did this in every episode for every series.

The current show Devs (BBC2) has a variation for reasons I won't go into for fear of spoiling anything.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

There's not much new stuff on over the summer months anyway. We won't really start to notice the impact of delayed filming until the autumn.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
 

Yes, one ray of sunshine - we shouldn't be getting the rash of reality shows this year;)
