Vintage TV recordings remaining accessible beyond the usual 3 months.
I always thought that recordings from closed channels usually remained for a max of three months on VM
Someone has told me that their recordings from Vintage TV were accessible on their V6 box for at least 9 months after it closed, why was this channel treated differently? Anybody know? |

Probably down to internal housekeeping and it wasn’t removed from the system
Or the channel was swapped with another service Like total country became Now70 I had recordings for over a year after it closed |

I don't think it would have been rolled up into another service, that usually happens if it stays with the same broadcaster. Basically treated as a rebrand.
I wouldn't be surprised if Virgin forgot to remove it after 3 months. Another theory is that, as the channel operator went bust, Virgin may have retained the channel on the system for the full contract period in an attempt to recover a proportion of the full fee from the administrator. |

Good thinking. It's a bit like when channels stop broadcasting, the playout contractor sometimes continues emitting a test card or playing out their programmes after it's been removed from the EPG for the same reason.

When BBC Four's analogue feed was removed, the recordings were available for a year.

I recorded the 3 Murdoch Mysteries (Alibi) in Christmas 2019 to watch with my mum.
But in March 2020 she was rushed to hospital and spent 6 months there and a nursing home, then died in September 2020. I only had the heart to watch them in July this year. |
