Not on others either: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...1/td-p/5358844

Possibly a glitch - time will tell!

TV360 boxes do not carry +1 channels.

Also STV +1 has now moved to Channel 303 on my TiVo box.

That's TV UK and That's 60s are being reported on DS Forum as Coming soon to Virgin Media UK.

Maybe you mean SD channels. 360 doesn't carry those if HD available

It’s just a pity that the channel exists to broadcast local news. A great disappointment.

The local versions opt-out of the national schedule - so the main channel has no news programmes.

Maybe all the missing That's TV Local channels will appear on Virgin Channel 159 as part of the UK wide deal.

Plus my source has confirm that That's 60s will be using Ideal World old slot at Virgin Media HQ.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2023)
 
The local versions have about 30 minutes max of local programming each day - and some travel news captions in the morning. Otherwise the output is the same as the national service.

Thames Valley has a local programme from 3am to 6am - I'm recording it to check current output but last time I checked it seemed to be a looping 15 minute programme.

In the morning they carry That's TV national but with local text on-screen - which I bet counts towards their local output.
