Eurochannel has departed from the app since January, so much for that one...

Free channel: Canal 24 Horas

Portuguese Bouquet:

In your January post you listed VIVA and Coleta as FTA channels, they weren't channels just the names of the Spanish and Portuguese Worldbox apps. These apps were subsequently removed, with all channels being build into the main Worldbox app.

very true sir! Instead of champagne its usually sparkling rose wine though. Instead of caviar substitute "marks and spencers nibbles" and you'd be correct.

Do VM have a channel acquisition team anymore? Remember a few years back then no channels arrived and we learnt it was due to the fact no one was even in discussion with channels to bring them onto VM due to a job vacancy that hadnt been filled...

Story from yesterday we just found it today. We are working to see what is going on.

Interesting but as the announcement on the boxplus website has now been removed, there may have been an agreement to continue on VM. These channels are widely available on streaming apps, perhaps there could be a Box Plus app on the Tivo at some point. If that happens, lets hope that the video and audio are in sync. The last time I tried to use it, channels on the Clubland AKA app were so far out of sync that it was unwatchable (this needs fixing).

Any links?

They've appeared on the OFCOM licensing website, i'm assuming that they'll be coming to VM in the same way as their other channels have.

Greetings friends. Will we ever see anything coming soon to virgin media again?

I remember the glorious summer of 2011 (?) when this board lit up with the sudden arrival of the BT sport channels. It was the best of days.

Now in 2017....nothing ever comes.

Wheres my fox news? Wheres my sky atlantic? Virgin media get these two channels and then potentially we can close these forums down as we have triumphed.

BIB except price rises. :p:

But with Sky Sports Box Office HD set to launch on Saturday it look to MB HQ that Virgin Media has sign an new deal with Sky UK so we see more Sky Basic channels coming in the coming months.

But saying that they did sign an 5 year deal in 2014.

I don't mind the ribbing it's certain posters nasty swipes that get my back up, the regulars always rib us rumour posters it makes it more enjoyable as it's great banter, then you get the spiteful ones messaging you with nasty comments those are the reason i'm reducing what i post.

Sadly there will always be a very small minority whether its on here or on social media who resort to nastiness when they disagree with somebody else's opinion.

I must admit that, when I read your original post, I thought that'll be Sky One +1 and Pick +1. :p:

lol, not bad. :D I doubt the cloak room would have given you your coat back before on account of the repetition of the VM price rise jokes but I think they will be far happier now. :)
And there are rumours pick'n'mix might be returning to our high streets but I'm sceptical!
