I asked that same q when the OP previously posted that question and they suggested they actually did want to acquire them. I guess VM isn't the provider for them

IMO only 10% of that list is worthwhile acquiring

The funny thing is, people will list these channels whether they are worth acquiring or not. If the channels in the list were either closed by the operators or added by VM, someone would still find other channels to list. There's a lot of shopping / religious / foreign language channels around and not carried on VM. The bulk of those are also probably not worth acquiring but they are list fodder in waiting.

I gave it a go and was slightly worried when it said "checking account details" but I assume if I had to pay I would have been confronted with a pin request.

Yes, they would make it clear if they were charging you. It's probably looking for the package you are on when perusing your account details.

That's actually a dangerous assumption. PINs are primarily there to control access to age-rated content. Some chargeable content can be accessed without entering a PIN, unless you have the Purchase Controls setting enabled on a TiVo.

But as it happens, there is no additional charge for using Worldbox.

Why not just give the channels on WorldBox real channels numbers?

Or is Worldbox run by the 3rd party?
