I live alone and I think profiles are brilliant.

The Hell's Kitchen channel change is in the pre-launch configuration.
Red Bull TV & VEVO '90s & '00s weren't removed completely, the slates were removed and the services were transferred to placeholder SIDs, so possibly "mothballed" for now but still under consideration for a future launch.
Full details:

Also on Bluesky

Fun fact:
The slate notifying viewers of the movement of That's Christmas is overdue for removal. TV360 viewers (not subscribed to TNT Sport) won't have seen the slate as Virgin TV forgot to update the subscription codes from the TNT Sport codes used the last time the slate was used. V6 viewers will have seen the slate thanks to a subscription code override flag.

Re: Virgin TV (2024)

The new Sky Sports + red button app has now been released to V6 TiVO boxes. The HD multi screen service can be accessed via the red button on channel 508 & 518.

Yes rumours about this started circulating this afternoon. Good news though. Now Virgin just need to add a few more apps to the V6 to keep everyone happy.

Yes good news. I suppose they still expect you to have a Sky Sports subscription. Very unreasonable if so ;)

How else can they keep adding free stuff and telling their customers they have been given it at no extra cost. ;)

Ofcom would probably agree with you...

Re: Virgin TV (2024)

My V6 box has confirmed that Sky Sports Darts HD will appear on Sky Sports F1 HD from December 13th at 6am.

UPDATE - Base on my V6 box - Sky Sports F1 UHD will become also Sky Sports Darts UHD from December 13th.

Ha ha! No, he probably uses the profiles to differentiate between types of programmes on the watchlist (eg films, dramas, music, etc).

Re: Virgin TV (2024)

The Sky Sports FAST channels are mainly the archive programmes they used to film the main channels when their premium content was much less.

They have been on SkyQ and Samsung tv kit for a while.
