All of these different legacy tiers and the current ones make it quite confusing: Player, Mix, Full House, Mixit, Maxit, Mega TV 😂

I'm kind of glad there are now only two being sold, but the site could be clearer.

You can be sure that it won't be long before they change them again though.

Must be a nightmare for staff having to use all these different pack codes.

UKTV Channels will rebrand in Summer 2024, the move will see its current streaming service UKTV Play transition to U and UKTV's family of free-to-air channels will become U&Dave, U&DRAMA, U&YESTERDAY and U&W.

UKTV's pay channels Alibi, Gold and Eden will transition to U&alibi, U&GOLD, U&eden at a later date, uniting the full network under the U brand.

Premier Sports has agreed a deal to buy back the UK business it sold to Viaplay. Will relaunch in early 2024 subject to competition approval.

Need more 4K channels. My old set broke so did my homework and bought a new one. Half the time I’m not listening to the dialogue now I’m just in awe of the picture.
