Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

That be why then..:)

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Presumably because its not a premium channel.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Or mainly the fact that SSN doesn't carry any reason for it - there is no multiscreen content etc

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Is there Sky Sports Red Button on Sky Sports News (on Sky)?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I think so, but for non-core channel stuff like betting and additional sports news

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

There is a red button on Sky Sports News on Sky - but is isn't worth having.

The red button is available almost all of the time on all Sky Sports channels (on Sky) but when there is not actually some interactive stuff for the current programme it goes to a menu with sports news, betting ads, etc.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

Surely Universal changing packages would have been part of a new agreement, aka where is Universal HD?

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I wish I knew why they have taken the retrograde step of re-branding ITV1 as ITV thereby disassociating it from ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4. :confused:

Could it be that the others will also be renamed and possibly even sold off?

Sorry, I've probably missed a thread covering this very topic!

Re: Virgin Media Changelog
 

I suppose that depends whether VM were contractually bound to consult Universal to change the package on which the channel was available on the VM platform. VM might just have done this unilaterally.

---------- Post added at 12:46 ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 ----------

I believe that ITV have plans to convert ITV2, 3 and 4 into subscription channels eventually. It may be something to do with that.

Having said this, I can't see why they had to remove the '1' from their main channel. Seems fairly pointless to me. God knows what the cost of changing the logos was!
