I can confirm that Performance has been removed. Leaves us exTW in the rubbish position now with regards to channels, I think that and UKHistory+1 are the only ones NTL were missing

FX is a free-to-air on Virgin to 'L' viewers until 11 August. CITV is now on at weekend until 12.30pm and not 6pm so that ITV4 can start at 12.30pm.

I can see that Telewest needs them channels, but ntl: dont need them, They are crap!

I think Virgin Radio will appear, but the rest can be removed from both platforms as far as I am concerned.

5 months after the rebrand from Telewest to VM and we still don't have the missing music channels Classic FM TV or Bliss, Scuzz & Flaunt.

VM were quick to remove Performance from the EPG after just over week after pulling the plug on the channel but i notice that Discovery Kids which ceased broadcasting way back in March is still listed on the EPG.

Virgin are only signing new deals for channels when the old deals that NTL and Telewest have sign have ended.

Is it off the EPG I keep getting this channel has ceased broadcasting as I go through the music channels a la Sky Sports etc.

Would be better if dead channels are taken out of cycles to speed up searches

Damn! :( I realise it may sound strange of me to be disappointed by blank channels being removed, but I actually found a use for 1. I don't watch anything live, & I find having that preview/picture-in-picture thing on screen annoying when I'm browsing around the various menus, so I've been leaving my box set to 1 of the blank channels [I was using 602]. I don't suppose anyone knows if there are any blank channels left?

Try ch501 which was prem plus or ch 890 if your ex-telewest and i think Ch 0 is also blank

grabbi 18-07-2007 17:16

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 
Yea. Prem Plus is still there, but you could use channel 0 as well, which is the PPV channel.

The Sky Travel ones have been removed also.
