Well its still on the platform Richard.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
 

Yes it did. There is a post on digi spy which has a statement in French. The key bit of information is that they were planning on pulling the channel from all providers that were not paying them for the privilege. Its looks like they have been doing this and is why the channel suddenly went off Sky.

I am guessing they worked a deal out with Sky with regards to EPG fees. I know they were once in a Sky package which resulted in lower EPG fees but went FTV meaning they would have to pay the full cost. I wonder if Sky have agreed to let them pay the lower amount again hence the sudden unexpected return.

I think that's probably what happened too.

They couldn't reduce the price of the EPG fees, due to the FRND rules, but they can do things to get around things like help with uplinking or letting channels onto their own transponders.

Asked a few sources about a now tv app possibly arriving on tivo as a poster has been mentioning they thnk now tv will arrive on tivo, all the sources have indicated both vm and sky have absolutely no interest in launching nowtv on the current or upcoming tivos, it would not be in VMs best interest to have nowtv on the platform.

There is no chance of Now TV coming onto the TiVo full stop.....

Here's a link to an interesting read on the future of TV for the non-nerd like me. I wonder how much of this Virgin Media customers will be able to experience and, if so, when?

Look like Sony is set to axe More Than Movies* on Sky and Freesat and MovieMix on Freeview**.

*True Crime will launch on More than Movies Sky and Freesat EPG slots.
**True Crime need to move to Freeview Channel 60 as Freeview Channel 32 slot is own by "Square 1 Management Ltd" and not "CSC Media Group (Sony Pictures Television)".

Well seeing we never had those two channels on Virgin to start with we won't be missing anything.
