I think It was £2.99 per month for 24 months unless cancelled on Lionsgate+ website back in May, withdrawing from 7 major markets including Germany and Italy which are Sky territories doesn't really look good.

It won’t be much use to you if it doesn’t work any more.

Virgin Media has got in a right muddle with their Personal Picks PDF...

https://www.virginmedia.com/content/..._August_23.pdf

They've got MTV HD listed as being on channel 280 for viewers with the Entertainment & Lifestyle package. 280 is MTV Music.

MTV HD should be listed on 134 in the Entertainment & Lifestyle package.

They have Dave HD listed in all the Entertainment picks but it's actually now available without paying for these. Similar with W HD - listed as being in the Entertainment & Drama pick, but again it isn't necessary to subscribe to that pick to receive it.

Sky Kids listed on channel 707 should be Sky Kids HD.

There may be more errors!

To stop some people getting mix up I will always say:

TiVo (Virgin will call it original TiVo)
V6

you have to hit the red button to launch these...the info isn't on the EPG guide....this is one of the most pointless things ever haha

ok its actually quite quick but for the non specific channels the lack of epg means youre launching it just to see whats on

The 360 auto loads the channels - but you still have to wait for the load to occur to see the programme details.

I've got the 14 slates on my V6 and I can access the channels when I press red. Once you've loaded a channel you can't use the channel up/down buttons to switch, and have to exit then navigate to another and press red again. It's far too clunky on the V6. The quality of the content is probably the bigger issue.

Base on reports on DS Forum:

Listings indicate CITV will close at 2100 on the evening of 1 September 2023.

(I would have pick August 31st to close CITV)

All channels listed on this post will not launch on TiVo boxes.

Apparently, the 6 channels mentioned in your list, along with "The Lego Channel" were removed from Virgin's internal networks last night but the channel names weren't removed from the SDT. More of a roll back than progress so it will be interesting to see how this progresses.
