Channel still on Channel 159:

That's TV Humber
That's TV East
Latest TV
That's TV South Yorkshire
That's Belfast
That's TV West Anglia
That's TV South Wales
KMTV

Thanks for taking the time to list those channels but they have also been removed, that's what I meant by 'and the rest'. Maybe the fact that South Yorkshire & Belfast hadn't bothered to change from their old names was an indication that the channels wouldn't be on Virgin in the long term.

FAST channel 253 Eggheads has been removed.

The online EPG's are still incorrectly transposing FAST channels 251 as Tipping Point and 252 as Mythbusters.

It's likely that 8 Out of 10 Cats and Pointless will shortly be added to the FAST channels. They have been testing since 18th March.

Panjab TV was testing from 18th March but the pre-launch service was removed from the SDT without launching on 9th April.

Despite publishing the April 2026 Channel Guide on 1st April, the day that Sky Atlantic was added to Virgin TV, they still haven't added it to the Channel Guide.

VM isn't known for it's accuracy or attention to detail!

QVC Channel Files Bankruptcy to Cut $5 Billion of Debt

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-checkout=true

QVC UK launched on 1 October 1993, becoming the UK's first full-time home shopping channel, and in 1998 the UK venture turned its first net profit (£12.5 million), against a loss of £228,000 in 1997. Originally 20% owned by Sky, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the US broadcaster in 2004.

Surely you can't improve on " perfection " so what enhancements would you add to a perfect machine, remember TiVo hold copyright :shocked:
