Also, they've somehow managed to break the 'red button' and 'yellow button' functionality on some of their channels...

5USA - 'red button' to catch up menu missing, 'yellow button' to +1 missing.

5Action - 'red button' to catch up menu missing.

Netflix have started to licence some of their shows now to FAST channel providers.

It appears its actually owned by Lionsgate, Amazon regular add Lionsgate content perhaps not allowed to add to Prime or Freevee yet "This Video Is Currently unavailable"

Netflix don't own all of their Originals, which can leave the service just under 10 years later

Orange is the New Black is Lionsgate Television aswell.

Wednesday is owned and produced by the now Amazon owned MGM Television.

Good move for older content. Though they shouldn't do it it with too many, they need to have their own library otherwise patient people like me will simply wait. :D

I knew they didn't, but I'd never heard that 10 year figure before. Ta.

I'd thought OITNB was Sony, it was on Sony TV Channel at one point, but I've never watched it so hadn't seen credits.

I'd see the reports speculating about where Wednesday S2 would be, so knew about that one.

Appreciate the info.

Definitely Lionsgate, Disney bought out the contract for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher and Iron Fist which is why when they did

Some of their Originals aren't actually Originals like the upcoming Ripley which was originally due to air on Showtime

They've updated the Channel Guide PDFs again, third time lucky I guess...

https://www.virginmedia.com/virgin-t...-channel-guide

Oh, but I think there are still errors 😂

They have listed Sky Kids (they've missed the HD off) as being included the Maxit TV package. I'm pretty sure it's only available with the Kids Pick add-on, because I have Maxit TV and it's not available to me.

FAST = Free Ad-Supoorted TV

Basically streaming channels with ads (e.g. Pluto TV). VM are making some Pluto TV channels available via the EPG.
