Rubbish channel. All it has on is 'Requires Subscription' and I'm sure that's a repeat....

I doubt I would have twigged, I rarely see adverts that are obviously from Scottish companies on C4...though most of my C4 consumption these days is either on on-demand or via the HD channel and that would've been London version prior to your information. Thanks though.

I don't know why Channel 4 bother with regional advertising, surely there isn't enough to make it worthwhile. And it's not like they have regional schedule differences.

Actually, now I think of it I saw a Scottish Water advert on All4 the other day.
Huh. :-D

Viacom scrapped channel 5's five advertising regions in August 2015, stating they were unviable. Obviously Channel 4 think it is still worthwhile to operate this way.

I'm wondering when Channel 5 HD will become HD only as it's on all VM TV packages and like you said no regional adverts.

I noticed just now that NHK World (625) has changed packs on Virgin Media's website table. I have checked and I can now receive this HD channel. It was the last of the News section that wasn't available to everyone.

The website suggests it's now available on Player tier, previously it was on Full House only. Can someone check it's on Player.

I also get the impression more channels have been added to Player tier, but since I'm on a higher pack I can't be sure.

This is the VM page with the table, though it does seem to have some errors, unless it was glitching for me. https://www.virginmedia.com/shop/bun...tvlistings-top

I had another quick look this morning. I compared the table on the link above with the PDF of April's channel list.

I can't test this one myself, unlike NHK World, as I was already receiving it, but it appears Film4+1 has been moved down to Player.

Given Film4+1 is freely available on Freeview and FreeSat this change is long overdue.

I've not spotted any other pack changes so far.

-----
Oh, and I was slightly wrong about NHK World being the last of the News section not available to everyone (prior to the change yesterday), Sky News HD is now the sole News section channel not available to every pack.


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 21:26.
