Well they certainly will have to add something by the next price rises as some on here are in a rather riotous mood.:mad::redcard::rant::walk:

Has there been the same change on the VM EPG?

No change on the V+ EPG, but the broadcast channel logos have now been standardised to Eurosport 1 & Eurosport 2, dropping the differentiation between the British & International versions of the channels.

All part of the Discovery takeover.

Interesting- thanks for that :)

I wonder if the UK now gets a simulcast of the Eurosport European feed as opposed to our own?

We haven't got any good new channels and we are now victims to inflation-busting price hikes next year. Pull your fingers out, VM, and get us some good channels for 2016 or bring us a bumper Christmas present. In my opinion, the remaining CSC/Sony channels may be a good addition with films and music galore.

The trouble with some series as l and many others have found out is some of these series are owned by different rights holders sadly Vince.

Seems to be the way Den . Government preaches austerity yet Virgin see fit to have about 3 price hikes a year. They ain't alone in this of course. Baffles me, the country has less disposable income, yet we are continually asked to pay more for a service that ain't improving . AMC and Atlantic are pretty much the only channels worth adding and sadly that ain't gonna happen
