Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Now confirmed that Eden will shortly go FTA as U&Eden on Freesat, Freeview and Sky.

Whilst Virgin customers will still have to pay to access the channel, this change should mean that it will move to the lowest packs and become available to all customers.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Virgin will rebrand channel and change package when U&Eden do launch by December.

RXTV says in August it would be in November but rumours on my X page think It will happen on October 16th (Unconfirmed Freeview changes day)

Freeview has two slot free to use right now for UKTV wants to buy the new slot (SDN or COM6)

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

always find it ironic they call it fast channels.....yet they're not fast to load up

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Ha ha good point. They can be a bit like dial-up speed!

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Who on earth wants to watch 24/7 'homes under the hammer'. These are the most dire 'channels' ever content wise.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

I couldn’t agree with you more, Mr K. Things have become so dire now that TV channel enthusiasts are having wet dreams at the thought of getting a new FAST channel that airs nothing but a single programme, more than likely to be old repeats of programmes already available on VM On Demand.

Still, everyone to their own.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

What are the channel 220 to 254?
They look like back to back episodes. Are they free?

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Free
Ad

Television

FAST ... internet based channels showing certain shows or themes.

Crap for some. Suits others.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Coming soon... the Watch The Paint Dry channel. Sure to be a winner! ;)

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

Very few people, which is the whole point. It's a cost-effective way of delivering niche content. If many people wanted to watch it, broadcasting is more efficient.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

should call it FABLE – Free Ad-Based Entertainment

as the speed is so slow its like a fable

Re: Virgin TV (2024)
 

What does the "L" stand for ;)
